Svarooooooooooopa!!!!!!!!!!!

Instead of going to an Inaugural Ball, I invested in my body. After all, if I am going to be alive forever, I need to keep my body supple and fabulous! So I went to a five day course in Svaroopa Yoga in Malvern, PA.

I had no idea what to expect except for some of the postures because Krishna has shared them with me often. It's the kind of yoga he is trained in and is in love with. But I must admit I never quite got it.

He would often say that we must do Svaroopa after other exercise, after love making, after yoga for Christ's sake! I did it, but I couldn't get it even though I could feel the benefits.

Well this week, I really got it! Really.

First of all I cannot believe that I got up at 5am every day to go to this course. It started at 7am and went until 9pm each day. Yikes! But that's nothing. I loved the work. I loved the postures. I loved learning to pit others into the postures. Although it's very different from regular Hatha, from Hot yoga, from power yoga, from Ashtanga yoga, it held my interest. Most of all I received benefits from it from the moment we began.

We put ourselves in gentle poses designed to unravel the tailbone and sacrum. Guess what...it all starts and ends there at the tailbone. My whole body responded. It responded quickly. Wow, I was free from pain, free from restriction and opened up completely. Years of strain fell away. How could it be this simple? Blew my mind.

So life affirming. So immortal!

I came away feeling I had grown by a quarter of an inch. That's saying something. Even my back and neck which regularly crack with adjustments would not. These habitual adjustments were not necessary.

I say WOW! Svaroopa is for me. I am going to save my money by not joining a gym.

I plan to devote a show on my radio program Tantra Cafe at www.BBSRadio.com and www.Tantraafe.com to the benefits of Svaroopa. Everyone should know about it. Especially people who want to live fully.
