We invite you to make your health and wellbeing a priority in your life -- in classes, yoga therapy or at our Retreats. Come Rest, Heal and Restore with us. Join us and discover the many benefits of Svaroopa® Yoga:
Most
of your aches, pains and problems originate in spinal tension;
your doctor knows this. Svaroopa® yoga gives you
core opening, the decompression of your spine. Watch your
problems melt away as bliss arises within and overflows into
your heart and your life.
How? Svaroopa® Yoga & Embodyment® Yoga Therapy use breathwork, meditation, gentle stretching, and hands-on healing to invite you into quiet reflection and deep relaxation.
Where? Group and private Yoga classes and private yoga therapy sessions are held at centers in St. Leonard and Columbia, MD, or in your home or office.
Yoga Half-Day Workshops, weekend and one-day Retreats will nourish and enliven your body and spirit. The 2015-16 Retreat plans are in progress. Past weekend retreats were at Stonebow Riverside Inn, a peaceful western Maryland mountain valley B&B; Blue Water House, Lewes, DE, a lovely Hemmingway themed B&B, a block from the beach, and at a charming, quiet Bethany Beach House at the Delaware seashore.
