Ayurveda · Embodied Living

​

I guide women in cultivating a more balanced and respectful relationship with their bodies, their energy, and their natural rhythms — especially during periods of transition, when familiar reference points no longer feel reliable.

​

My work is rooted in Ayurveda and Yoga, enriched by embodied awareness, meditation, and a contemporary understanding of emotional and energetic patterns. It is both grounded and subtle, practical and deeply human.

I do not offer quick fixes or methods to be applied through force or discipline.

Instead, I create spaces — retreats, one-to-one support, and moments of transmission — where the body can become a trustworthy reference again, and where women learn to listen to what is truly unfolding, rather than struggling against symptoms.

​

My role is not to tell women what to do, but to guide them in listening more deeply, making clearer choices, and reconnecting with their inner sovereignty.

When I am not working with women, I love cooking simple, nourishing meals — because our relationship with the body is also shaped by how we nourish ourselves, in the widest sense of the word. 🌿

“I believe the body already knows — our role is to listen.”

Yoga Tantra · Yoga Nidra · Subtle Awareness

​

Swami Atmarupa Saraswati has been immersed in the study and practice of yoga for over four decades. Her path has been shaped by a deep commitment to inner inquiry, discipline, and direct experience, guided since 1995 by her guru, Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati of the Bihar School of Yoga in India.

Her teaching is rooted in the classical Satyananda Yoga tradition and weaves together yoga tantra, meditation, and Yoga Nidra as pathways for understanding the subtle layers of consciousness.

She is known for her grounded presence, clarity, and ability to guide students into direct experience rather than conceptual understanding.

​

Swami Atmarupa has taught internationally and has spent many years training yoga teachers from around the world. She served as the founder of the Atma Center, a long-standing yoga center in Ohio, and later chose to step away from organizational leadership in order to devote herself more fully to practice, teaching, and transmission.

​

Before dedicating herself entirely to yoga, she worked for over 25 years as a nurse anesthetist and educator in a major medical institution. This background deeply informs her teaching, particularly her understanding of the nervous system, altered states of consciousness, and the subtle transitions between waking, dreaming, and deep rest.

​

In this retreat, her role is to guide participants into a felt, embodied experience of the elements through yoga, breath, and deep inner listening — creating the conditions for insight, stability, and inner spaciousness to arise naturally.
