“I injured both knees while mowing my lawn. About a week later, I began my yoga therapy sessions with Maria. The sessions were calm and gentle….After six sessions, I was as good as new. The therapy works!.”

“Yoga therapy has helped to keep my spinal stenosis and sciatica issues at bay. From time to time I need a “tune up” to help my muscles relax. I always get relief, and I am grateful!”

“I started doing yoga therapy to improve my flexibility and to prepare my body for a total knee replacement. There were days when my pain levels in my knees, back, hips, shoulders were so high, I figured it couldn’t hurt to try something different. 

I began to have less pain immediately and the more yoga I did the better I felt. I developed my own yoga practice at home as part of my daily routine. I firmly believe that the progress I made before surgery greatly improved my recovery. I have more flexibility today than I have had in years. Most days I’m pain free. I still do yoga therapy and attend a class every week. I feel better after every session and have made yoga a priority for my health and well being.”

“I can’t say enough good about the positive effects that Svaroopa yoga and yoga therapy have had on my life. My mind is clearer. I feel calm, more grounded, more content. My body feels lighter and more open.”

“I went to see my orthopedic doctor last Thursday for my knee. He wants your name and number so he can call you to tell you not to do yoga therapy on me because it's eliminating the need for surgery.  He was kidding of course. He has a great sense of humor. There's really no need for surgery right now. I will only go back if the pain worsens. So thank you very much."
