Our Path
"Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self."
— The Bhagavad Gita

Yoga is a living art — like Truth, it reveals itself through many faces. In an age where cultures and ideas beautifully intertwine, we keep yoga vibrant, timeless, and deeply human. Swarupa Yoga embodies the art of mood crafting, where ancient wisdom transforms into living tools for the modern mind and everyday life. Here, practice unfolds in two harmonious sequences and five distinct approaches, each guiding you toward deeper awareness and emotional balance. It is not bound by style but flows with your natural rhythm and individuality. Through these pathways, we invite you to explore within, attune your inner mood, and awaken to the joy of your true self.

Our Story

Swarupa Yoga is a homecoming project, born from a shared journey of family and yoga. A few of us, who have traveled across different parts of the world teaching yoga, return to our roots through this space. We come from one family, raised in a village in Kerala, India, where spiritual stories from our elders were a natural part of childhood. Growing up in a farming family, our connection with nature was spontaneous and deeply woven into daily life. As the elder brother stepped onto the spiritual path of yoga, the rest of us followed, each finding our own way into the practice.

For more than 25 years, we have been learning, practicing, and teaching — walking through tests and transformations, receiving guidance, and surrendering to the process. What we’ve discovered along this path carries meaning far beyond our personal lives. It is a gift to be shared — to continue the journey, and to invite others to discover their own swarupa, their true form, through yoga.
