"When practicing svadharma, one does not compete even with oneself. If we can move to our edge, then we can use the breath to take us a little farther (tan). As we gently and gradually expand the parameters of the pose we also expand the parameters of our consciousness."

Testimonials from Rama's Yoga Students and Friends
“Rama Vernon's love, compassion and wise counsel have touched countless lives throughout our world. Her unique, deep knowledge of all aspects of Yoga laid the foundation of contemporary Yoga in America today. I'm profoundly appreciative of Rama's selfless teachings. Our friendship as spiritual sisters is dear to me.”
Lilias Folan, PBS host and Author, Lilias! Yoga: Your Guide to Enhancing Body, Mind and Spirit Midlife and Beyond. http://www.liliasyoga.com
“When it comes to the dissemination of Yoga in America Rama Vernon is like the Vedas, all paths lead back to her. I am so grateful for her courage, insight and knowledge that inspired me and so many others along the way.”
Larry Payne, Founding President, International Association of Yoga Therapists, Director, Yoga therapy certification program at Loyola Marymount University, Co-author, Yoga for Dummies, Yoga Rx and The Business of Teaching Yoga.
“Rama is the essence of Yoga. This is a simple way to describe who she is, and how she is, and what she offers her fortunate students. She brings Yoga alive, makes it real, personal, and intimate in a masterful way. How does she do it? … we often wonder later. She has said that a master makes the complex seem simple, this she does. She inspires us to love and revere the Yoga path and philosophy; yet, more important, to love and revere the Divine, to live and work from our spiritual center. Rama actually embodies the Divine. Watching her ignites this in others. Her presence is subtly transformational, and also transpersonal. She is Rama and you are you, but what we are doing is changing the world. It is fun and miraculous! Thank You Rama.”
