In 2001, Ellen Sichel opened the first Svaroopa^® Yoga studio in the Southeast. Her commitment was to bring this wonderful, transformative style of yoga to the Atlanta community. In a short period of time, this has happened.

As Ellen has continued her training, taking Advanced Svaroopa^® courses, she decided to close the studio and step out into the community, teaching in various locations. This has given her the ability to reach more students that will benefit from a Svaroopa^® yoga practice.

Ellen is expanding her business, so she can bring the healing power of yoga, meditation, breath and therapies to a much broader group. Ellen has merged her business into Custom Calm, and the focus is offering simple tools to empower individuals and groups in managing their stress, pain and illness.

Svaroopa^® yoga is transforming and the beauty is that though the hands-on style of teaching, and the approachable nature of the style of yoga, everyone is able to experience the benefits.
