About Swaroopa:

Hello! I'm Swaroopa Gollapalli. Yoga for me is so much more than doing asanas (poses) on a rectangular space (aka mat). I always keep reminding myself and the students that 1) If you have a mind and a body, you can do yoga 2) Your worth is not tied to a pose. I absolutely love teaching yoga and started many of my friends off on their yoga journey during the pandemic period. In a way this has led me to take a step back to deepen my knowledge on physical practice and yoga philosophy and develop my professional teaching skills to truly create a greater impact to those I share my teachings with. Hence, I pursued and completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training recently and also completed in depth pranayama and restorative yoga teacher training. Besides yoga, I love spending time in nature. I enjoy my outdoor walks, runs and love hiking with my family. I also enjoy cooking and baking with my daughter.
