Matrikaa Gast is passionate about offering gentle yet powerful and Grace-full therapeutic yoga. She delights in introducing newcomers to it as well as continuing students who want to expand and deepen their yogic experiences.
For more than 25 years, as a certified Svaroopa Yoga Teacher and Embodyment Yoga Therapist, Matrikaa has guided students toward a profound sense of well-being. Specializing in pain relief, she combines her expertise with a compassionate approach to help each person release tension, restore balance, and reconnect with their inner vitality.Svaroopa Yoga, founded by Swami Nirmalananda Saraswati, is rooted in the authentic yoga teachings of India. Thus, this yoga focuses on well-aligned poses that gently decompress the spine. As your spinal muscles release, layers of tension dissolve, allowing inner peace and bliss to emerge. You can look forward to increased strength and flexibility alongside a deep sense of calm and clarity.It’s amazing to gain both strength and flexibility and to feel energized and calm at the same time.Classes take place in Matrikaa’s serene home yoga space, complete with ample props and a maximum of four students for personalized attention. Sessions are offered on Monday evenings and Thursday mornings, by registration only. Embodyment therapy appointments are also available for those seeking targeted support.

What Clients Say
Read the testimonials from satisfied clients and see the impact that Svaroopa yoga and meditation has had on their lives.
I have been taking Matrikaa's Svaroopa yoga classes for more than a decade. The poses are deceptively easy and amazingly powerful. Her classes - both online and in-person - reach into my sacrum, releasing tensions there, and that opening moves all the way up into my neck and shoulders. I get opening through my whole spine and into and through my shoulders and neck.

I cannot thank Matrkaa enough for all she has done for me. Her calm, patient way of being has helped my back so much that the fracture has become less painful and now has a better chance to heal as I keep doing the breathing practice which I learned from Matrikaa.

I'd taken classes with Matrikaa before my knee surgery, so I did yoga therapy with her to return to classes.In my first class back, I felt “glowy, floaty and really good. For the first time since surgery, I had enough flexion in my knee to do Lunge. Lunge made everything flow!”'
