Svaroopa® yoga is a process of inner opening that works directly in the deepest layer of your body and takes you ever deeper within your own Self. To know own divine essence begins with understanding yourself as a unique, individualized manifestation of consciousness. Swamiji begins with yoga poses and breath that provide deep spinal release for profound healing and inner opening. She guides you through vichara (Self-inquiry), with a journaling process that peels back the layers of your mind to dissolve the sticky spots, and open your heart. Chanting and meditation give you the opportunity to dive deeper and deeper, that you may know your Self as the basis of yourself, in every moment. Each step inward takes you to healing and personal transformation, and gives you an illuminative experience of your own divine essence, which is the goal of all yoga.

SWAMI NIRMALANANDA (RAMA BERCH), R.Y.T. (Registered Yoga Teacher), is a teacher who is living Yoga as well as teaching it. Her credentials include certification and training in four styles of Yoga as a Hatha Yoga teacher, advanced Hatha Yoga teacher, pranayama teacher and meditation teacher.  After Kundalini initiation by her Guru in 1976, she was moved during meditation into spontaneous Yoga poses, enlivening not only her knowledge, but also her understanding of the body. Her style of teaching and guiding others to discover this for themselves is called Svaroopa® Yoga. She has an exceptional understanding of how the body and mind work, how they work together and communicates clearly and with great insight and compassion. Swami Nirmalanda is the originator of Svaroopa® Yoga and founder of Master Yoga Foundation and travels extensively teaching around the world.
