About Swami Nirmalananda Saraswati:

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), E.R.Y.T. lives and teaches yoga according to ancient tradition — as a direct path to svaroopa, the bliss of your own being. Her unique approach emerged from initiation by her Guru in 1976, which awakened MahaKundalini, and for years moved her body into spontaneous yoga poses, revealing to her the nature of the spine as a conduit of consciousness. This inner awakening enlivens her understanding of the body and of ancient texts and teachings. She communicates with insight and compassion, weaving ancient wisdom with concrete understanding of modern life. She is the originator and Master Teacher of Svaroopa® yoga and travels extensively to teach internationally, guiding others to discover their own vastness. www.svaroopayoga.org

A Yogic Life – Outside & Inside: Svaroopa® Yoga

You are a yoga poster-child. You do more than teach; you lead and inspire others. They learn from your demonstrations, from your words, and from your wordless communications that tell them who you really are. Every smile and frown tells them how you think and feel, what your aspirations and highest ideals are, and how you live your life. You already know that yoga does more than change your body and breath, it pervades your life. Cooperate with that transformative process consciously, by learning what the ancient texts say about a yogic life. Swami Nirmalananda excels at making the esoteric completely practical and accessible. 

Join other Ontario yoga teachers in taking your body to a whole new level, while you take yoga beyond your body. Swamiji uses yoga’s tools to unravel the knots in your mind and heart, so you discover yoga’s promise – that you will know your own inner essence, so you can carry that into your life and into your relationships.
