Based on a significantly different paradigm in yoga poses, our practice is both physical and more than physical. We specialize in the inner opening, called "core opening," releasing the tensions in the deepest layers of your body – the layers of muscles wrapped around your spine. Downingtown Yoga & Meditation Center's hours vary, please see our website for specific hours and program details.

Use the Mantra

Just like Baba said, “Most people who meditate make the same mistake. When they sit for meditation, they do not focus on the Self, instead they run after the mind trying to find out what it is doing.” So, focus on your own Self. Use the mantra, this ancient sacred formula, to pierce through the mental activity that you usually find so intriguing. Mantra gives you your own Self. — Gurudevi Nirmalananda

🚗💥🩼🩹😢
My New, Improved Normal

Driving along, I realized that an oblivious driver was pulling out into my path. To avoid the collision, I stomped on the brake and wrenched the steering wheel sideways.

The fright and violent movements put my SI joints into spasm. My sacrum caught fire. A month later the pain had not abated, even with my regular home yoga practice.

So I decided to get help from the experts. Five online Svaroopa® Yoga Therapy sessions brought temporary relief. But activities of daily life continued to fire up the pain.

At age 72, I had become weaker with every passing year, but without noticing. Over the next three months, we worked simultaneously on strength building and pain management.

A few months later, I went with family on a hill-climbing vacation...

Being & Seeing Shiva

One Halloween, the dad’s T-Rex costume towered over everyone. I laughed! Yet I never thought he was a dinosaur. I knew it was a costume. So did he.

In this way, Shiva is being you, wearing the costume of your body, using your mind to manage the world. When you know who you are, all your insecurities vanish.

In full enlightenment, you are being Shiva while you are seeing Shiva being all. Self-Realization is a totality of Beingness, beyond the emptiness of nirvana…

Hidden in Your Heart

You have the power to realize that God lies hidden in your own heart. Too much of the time, when you come from your heart, you’re coming from your emotional residue, your unfinished business. Your heart carries the weight of lifetimes – resentments and fears, unhappy memories and…

Inner Light

🕯️💡⚡☀️🙏

Your inner light shines, though sometimes dimly. You like yourself better when your light is steady and bright. So does everyone else. How do you get there?

Spend time with someone who already glows. My Guru said you become a Siddha (enlightened being) by spending enough time with a Siddha. I took him at his word, so I lived with him for years.

Guru Purnima was the best! On July’s full moon, his light shone most fully. We were bathed in his bliss-filled love, shining from outside and…

Why We Meditate
�Yoga also describes how you usually use your mind, as well as a greater possibility. But yoga is the only one of all these traditions, that I have found, that says your Essence is Divine. How will you know if this is true? You will have to delve deeper within to see who you find in there, oh Shiva. You may go beyond who you think you are. This is why we meditate. — Gurudevi Nirmalananda

Meditation Breakthrough

I felt a profound shift as the inner blockage melted into nothingness.

It happened in Gurudevi’s recent Shaktipat Retreat. I have been meditating every day since, more deeply and with ease and delight.

Since the beginning of the year, I’ve also taken many of the Ashram’s online studies, which have deepened my meditations even more.

This morning’s meditation delivered another breakthrough. Breathing with the mantra, I was propelled into a deeper state of…

In the Pause

The sage says:
Tadah drastuh svaroope vastanam — Yoga Sutras 1.3
In the moment your mind becomes still, you abide in svaroopa, your own Divine Essence.
Here you are, revealed in the space between your thoughts. This means your thoughts are usually hiding you from yourself. This is why all the yoga practices are for your mind, to quiet your mind, so you discover who you are. The you that is svaroopa, your own Divine Essence, aka Shiva. In the pause. — Gurudevi Nirmalananda
