Meet the Team

Maria began studying yoga over 25 years ago to reduce stress. Gradually her weekly classes evolved into a deep love and career as a teacher. “Svaroopa® yoga is an amazing gift.” says Maria, “I love teaching. People come to class carrying stress they may not even be aware of and leave surprised at how good they feel.”

Maria Sichel, owner and primary teacher of Time for You Yoga, is a Certified Svaroopa® Yoga Teacher, a Certified Pregnancy Yoga Teacher, and a Certified Svaroopa® Yoga Therapist. She has trained extensively with Swami Nirmalananda Saraswati (Rama Berch), the originator of Svaroopa Yoga.

Janice O'Brien

CERTIFIED SVAROOPA® YOGA TEACHER

Janice O’Brien has been practicing yoga for more than forty years. She has touched on many different genres, but none of them resonated with her the same as Svaroopa®.

“While attending the Whole Health Expo, I found myself drawn to a seminar on a silly named yoga which I had never heard of. I sat and listened to a man speak of the wondrous changes that can happen to one’s body by simply opening the spine. I had to experience this for myself,” says Janice. “One class and I knew I was home and never going back. I had found my bliss!”

Within a year, Janice began yoga teacher training and shortly thereafter began teaching Svaroopa® yoga. She continues to expand her repertoire by attending numerous trainings. Recently, she completed an advanced Yoga Teacher Training to offer private yoga therapy sessions for people in pain.

Janice is also an Embodyment Yoga Therapist, Children’s Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master and Crystal Therapist who often refers to herself as a spiritual seeker. She blends her knowledge and energies to provide a deeply relaxing and healing experience for her students.

Suzanne Lincoln

BASICS SVAROOPA® YOGA TEACHER

Suzanne has been practicing yoga for more than 20 years. Initially studying Hatha Yoga with various teachers, she discovered Svaroopa® Yoga in 2004 and has been an enthusiastic student ever since. Initially seeking to alleviate lower back arthritis pain and occasional sciatica flare-ups, she found so much more through her dedicated practice.

“Svaroopa Yoga’s combination of well-supported poses, relaxation, and breathing exercises not only helped to control my physical issues and improve my posture,” says Suzanne, “ but taught me to manage stress more effectively.”

Eager to share the benefits of her personal experience with others, Suzanne dedicated herself to the practice and is now a Certified Svaroopa Yoga Introductory Teacher. She enjoys helping new students, according to their individual needs and desires, to discover for themselves what Svaroopa® Yoga offers them. She is certified as a Svaroopa® Yoga Basics Teacher.
