Several Molokai Svaroopa yoga students are taking the next step in their yoga practice and knowledge by attending a program called Foundations of Svaroopa Yoga, Oct. 8-12, in Haleiwa on Oahu, co-sponsored by Connie and Kyno Ravelo. The program will be led by two trainers, one from Australia and one from California.

After taking and passing this course, the 11 Molokai attendees will be able to assist a Certified Svaroopa Yoga Teacher in classes.

“Having assistants is a great advantage for everyone taking a class as well as a tremendous help for the teacher,” said Connie Clews, a Certified Svaroopa Yoga teacher on Molokai.

Foundations graduates may lead their own beginning Svaroopa yoga classes, so if you have a location that needs a teacher contact someone in the group. You may already know who is taking these yoga classes and who has told you about the benefits they have experienced – most frequently pain reduction along with a calmer, quieter mind.
