 Happy New Year! Have you already set time aside to reflect on changes you have gotten from yoga last year, including in your body, your attitude, temperament and behavior? If not, ask yourself "What word or phrase summarizes what I have gotten from yoga last year?" And then, ask yourself again "What word or phrase will I select to cultivate my new year?"

 It's really important for me to see YOU when I teach yoga.
LIVE ZOOM class in a small setting allows me to deliver our teachings effectively and safely to you. The subtle suggestion makes a big difference in how each pose reaches into your spine! Sunday class is beginner friendly. I specifically designed this Sunday class so that you can use what you already have at home to support and you can open up your spine efficiently. Click here to read the rest of Oct. 2020 Newsletter.  Complimentary Self-Care Orientation Class with Ryoko (ONLINE): Wed. 5/13 (6pm - 7:30pm CST) Did you miss the last Wed complementary class? Catch this one next week. I probably won't be able to offer in-person group class for a while... at least through the end of June. When things are out of your control, you must remember the only thing you can control is the way you respond to what is happening - it's your mind. That is why every yoga practice targets your mind, and Svaroopa® yoga even takes you beyond your mind so that you can have the experiential knowing (vidya) of your own Self (svaroopa), even in the midst of the crisis. This orientation class is a gift from me. Try out and see if this works for you. You just need to sign up (via Vagaro app) and show up in our virtual healing room! I designed this class for those who haven't tried our Zoom class yet. I understand if you have not used these modern technologies before, you may feel intimidating. But I can show you how easy it is to use it. I will show you how you can set up your setting for the Zoom class. You will be guided through guided awareness (Yoga Nidra), breathing practice (you will lying on your back with your lower legs supported), and the Magic four practice (The most fundamental four asanas of Svaroopa® Yoga) to open your spine. The four poses include all five directions of movement. They are suitable for all ages and are accessible to everyone from newcomers to experienced practitioners. or just call in and say hello! We miss seeing you.

As of right now, we decided to cancel all group classes through Saturday, March 21. "Please take care of yourself and your loved ones. Be intelligent and improve your hygiene practices. But, while you’re doing this, take a look at the fear. Anxiety diminishes your immune response, so the more you worry, the more likely you’ll experience the very thing you fear. Planning ahead and taking care of yourself is not the same as worrying — it’s strategizing. ~ Swami Nirmalananda." (Click here to read "A Yogi in a Pandemic") In this difficult time, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of Svaroopa Yoga®'s daily breathing practice to boost up your immune system (Click here for more info). It's a time for us to put all our yogic practices together to stay calm and healthy. We recognize that both physical and emotional benefits offered by Svaroopa® Yoga are so much needed at this time. Ryoko is still offering one-on-one healing sessions. If you feel more comfortable staying at home, you can even take advantage of Vichara session (Yoga therapy of the mind) on the phone/zoom to work on your mind directly. Vichara session opens up a whole new level of insight and awareness!

Essential Oils for Immune System Support
When I come from outside, washing hands & gargling with my immune booster that I make with doTERRA’s essential oils have been the key player for me to keep myself healthy. During traveling, take an extra Lifelong Vitality Pack to get essential nutrients & antioxidants in addition to Copaiba Softgels to boost up your immune system. Onguard Sanitizing Mist has been our BEST friends when you are being in the public 🧡 I also apply doTERRA’s Rose Touch on my throat & chest area before I go outside for extra protection.

They always say "I felt so gooooood when I was coming to your classes..." Life gets in the way, or maybe, the pain that originally brought you to the class went away, but remember Svaroopa® yoga gives you much more than getting a rid of pain! In the month of June, we are focusing on forward bends poses that promote a feeling of surrender, serenity, letting go, accompanied by inner bliss. "Forward bends poses gently melt your heart and release the tensions in your neck & shoulders. You will learn the effortlessness in each pose and discover the surrender in the midst of the effort, not only in yoga class, but in your whole life!" Are you ready to live your life with much more ease and peaceful mind? Hope to see you then!
