"This is a consciousness-oriented yoga that promotes healing and transformation."

Yoga International's article on Svaroopa yogas' Magic Four describes it this way, "Svaroopa yoga is not exercise. You don't need exercise. You need a scientific maximization of your body's capacity, dissolving the tensions that inhibit your body's natural functioning and inherent healing capacity.

"The release of the inner blocks allows you to live in an inner ease, in your body and in your self, that is your birthright."

Fallbrook Yoga Center specalizes in Svaroopa® style yoga, also known as "bliss yoga." This gentle yet transformative type of yoga is known for its compassion-
ate approach to the body, mind and emotions. It is widely recognized as a powerful tool for promoting healing and personal transformation, as well as opening inner levels of transcendent experience.

In addition to the deep release of the tensions in the deepest layers of your body - the layers of muscles wrapped around your spine — Svaroopa also promotes an inner opening. This opens up conscious access to the ever-expanding inner realms of your own being.

In the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali uses the word svaroopa to name the inner experience of consciousness that is the goal of yoga. Svaroopa means “the Bliss of your own Being.”

In Sutra 1.3 he says, “tadaa drashtuh svaroope 'vasthanam,” promising that the moment your mind becomes quiet, you will abide in the bliss of your own being.

Developed by Rama Berch, Svaroopa yoga offers a significantly different paradigm in yoga poses. She explains, "When your body is contracted, it shuts down and you lose

the ability to feel it. Svaroopa yoga uses precise alignments in carefully selected poses, along with meticulous placement of
props, to open up the deepest tensions of your body."

Yoga Journal says, " This style of yoga teaches different ways of doing familiar poses, emphasizing the opening of the spine by beginning at the tailbone and progressing through each spinal area. Every pose integrates the foundational principles of asana, anatomy, and yoga philosophy, and emphasizes the development of transcendent inner experience.
