Classes & Workshops
I have been practicing Svaroopa® Yoga for approximately seven years and have experienced many of its benefits. Some of these include alleviation of anxiety, deep relaxation, methodical release of tightness along the spine-from the tailbone to the cervical vertebrae- allowing for pain relief, improvement of posture, and an overall felling of wellness, openness, and length.
--Wendy A. Dudas, R.N., M.S.N.

For five years I took a weekly yoga class that was ten minutes from my home. I had a great teacher and got a lot out of it. But from the first Svaroopa® Yoga class with Tish, I knew I had discovered a path to experiencing yoga in a whole new and much deeper way. The beautiful studio, Tish’s compassionate, warm, and accepting approach, and the unique benefits of the Svaroopa style of yoga combine to make this class a deeply enjoyable, healing, and transformative experience. Now I travel one hour each way to attend Tish’s class each week. And it’s worth every minute of driving!

Deprogramming & Reprogramming

By Rama Berch, C.S.Y.T., E-RYT 500

The student watched as the Master poured the tea, filling the tea bowl past the usual half-way point. The master continued pouring, and pouring, and pouring until the tea rimmed over the edge and spilled across the table. It poured off the edge into the student’s lap, scalding hot! He yelped and leapt up, standing there in total confusion. Then the Master said, “You will have to empty yourself before I can teach you.  If I try to add teachings to your already full mind and heart, it is like trying to pour tea into an already full cup.”
