Workshops and Retreats

 Take your practice to another level with these deeper programs designed to propel you beyond your current limitations into new ways of being in your body, mind and life. 

​These programs are all deeper immersions, but do not fulfill any requirements for teacher training. If you are interested in exploring the possibility of becoming an Introductory Svaroopa® Yoga teacher or reseting your Svaroopa® Yoga certification, we will be offering Foundations of Svaroopa® Yoga in June.

Welcome Swami Shrutananda!
​Swamiji is the affectionate term for a Swami. As a yoga monk,  Shrutananda joins us from the Ashram in Downington, PA, where she teaches yoga and meditation and serves as a teacher trainer. Her students particularly  admire her deep understanding of the workings of the body, and her great sense of humor. As a student of and co-teacher with Gurudevi, she says, "I love to share the mystical teachings of yoga with others who wish to delve deeper." Any program she offers is sure to connect you with deeper dimensions of your own being!

How do you keep the openings you get from your yoga practice? It can be challenging to stay open when life tightens you back up again. In fact, it is not always the physical activities that you do which creates this dilemma- it is your own mind. 

Learn how to deal with your mind, so the openings you get from your yoga practice spread into your whole life. Learn how to stay open no matter what comes your way. 

Registration for this class takes place through the Svaroopa Vidya Ashram. To reserve your spot, visit svaroopa.org/weekend-workshop-canton-ny-220716.
