Daily Practice - Beginning Students are very eager to learn and want to be able to do some yoga at home. Daily Practice gives them a sequence of poses they can remember to repeat at home. The process of opening and releasing deeply held tensions will move at a much faster rate and can really enrich your life.

Lower Spinal Release - This is the most important Theme in Svaroopa® Yoga. We use certain poses to get predictable and reliable effects to open the spine starting with the tailbone, sacrum and lumbar spine. These effects extend throughout the whole body, giving the student a deep inner experience as well as quieting the mind.

Upper Spinal Release - In this theme we continue to open the lower spine concentrating on the tailbone and vertebrae behind the heart, which is the key to opening the neck and shoulders. We also focus on finding strength in the body and how to move through life without tightening the spine.

Abdominals - Most people learned to use their deep abdominal muscles connected to the spine for strength training and physical appearance. The purpose of this theme is to release your spinal muscles and then discover how your abdominals automatically work for you when your spine releases.

Backbends - This is the most important direction of movement for students to learn. As we age the body begins to contract and slope forwardly. Sometimes vertebrae fuse in this position. Backbends are so important to keep the spine supple and flexible to prevent this natural forward contraction. Most people are afraid of backbends and fear being hurt. We warm up and prepare the spine for opening, then take you through lower and upper backbends. Students feel, longer, taller and more open. This takes the student into a deeper understanding of his or her own body.

Standing – A very active theme with only light sweating. It is physically challenging and faster, but does not tighten the spine. We learn how to stand in our bones, structurally grounded in the body. We develop strength, and stamina in the poses and learn how to take yoga into our everyday life.
