Highland Yoga offers a unique and revolutionary style of yoga called Svaroopa^® Yoga.  Founded by Rama Berch, now known as Swami Nirmalananda, go to www.masteryoga.org for more info. 

Svaroopa^® yoga is a technique for opening your body (roopa) to find your Self (sva).  It has a radically different approach than most modern styles of yoga and can give you a new way to think about asana practice.  The practice creates a core opening by releasing the tensions in the deepest layers of your body.  Dissolving these tensions allows you to live with ease, both in your body and in your deeper self.  This all happens without sweat or strain because Svaroopa yoga is not exercise but a scientific maximization of the body's natural capacities.  When practicing Svaroopa yoga we delve into our body as if opening a precious gift carefully wrapped in many layers.

This powerfully transformative practice can be experienced with just a few poses.  They are simple and amazingly effective.  They begin by releasing the muscles connected to your tailbone which will realign your whole body from the inside outward.  The changes will automatically extend down your legs through your hips, knees, ankles, and feet.  Simultaneously, a domino effect of release will climb your spine through your sacrum, waist area, rib cage, shoulders, neck, and skull. With less tension throughout the body, your vital systems find their natural balance.

We offer classes appropriate for all levels of ability. Group classes are available for beginners through advanced students.  We also offer workshops, meditation instruction and private yoga therapy sessions.
