A New Paradigm
You learn a new approach to yoga poses from your very first Svaroopa® yoga training. Our focus is spinal release rather than stretching and strengthening. While you are experiencing the profound difference in your own body, you also learn new terminology, to describe how the poses work.
We protect your joints and target deeper layers, dissolving spinal tensions. Instead of “pressing” or “pushing,” we “lean” and “anchor.” We don’t “relax,” we “soften” and “sink.” Rather than stretching or lengthening, we “align” and “extend.” The words matter!
Developing your new skills begins with precise pose alignments. Compassion is paired with precision, along with using customized props and hands-on adjustments. You experience the effects personally while learning how to move others through the process.
Critical skills are covered in our first five-day training, Foundations of Svaroopa® yoga. The focus is on Primary Spinal Release poses, which lay the foundation for the more advanced therapeutics you learn in your 200-hour Svaroopa® Yoga Teacher Training (YTT).
YTT prepares you to teach yoga in all its dimensions and support your students as they discover more about themselves physically, mentally/ emotionally and spiritually. Getting Shaktipat from Swami Nirmalananda in YTT was such a boon, propelling us into deeper explorations in our meditations. — Soraya P.
Your Embodyment® Yoga Therapist training teaches you how to harness the healing power of Consciousness; plus it starts you on your new career as a yoga therapist.
Embodyment® Yoga Therapist Training allows you to dive even deeper into your own Self while also learning specific therapeutic techniques to help clients on their own journey toward healing. — Lisha R.
For training in Svaroopa® yoga’s therapeutic tools, you must build your foundation in Svaroopa® Yoga Basics Teacher Training. Fortunately, the Foundations of Svaroopa® Yoga is only 5 days long, making it easy to test it out to see if this is the direction you want to go.
