Your Own True Nature

The Sanskrit word “svaroopa” is pronounced Swah  Roo  Pa. Sva means Self – your true, pure Self. Roopa means form. Svaroopa – the form of your own, true nature. Yoga’s foundational text, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, provides the context for this modern yoga style:

Tadaa Drastuh Svaroope Vasthanam

"In the moment that your mind becomes quiet, you abide in the bliss of your own being."

Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, 1.3

We call the practice 'svaroopa' because we are using the body as a tool to quiet the mind and experience our own true nature: BLISS.
