About Nora
Svaroopa® yoga
Svaroopa® yoga is known for its compassionate approach to the body and specializes in releasing the layers of tension that run along your spine. This inner opening supports a wide variety of physical benefits that include stress reduction, relief from chronic or acute pain and increased flexibility. Svaroopa® yoga works with your body in a radically different way than other styles, providing support so your body can find a deep internal release. Using Hatha Yoga poses with precise alignments, props and gentle hands on adjustments, each class is designed to lead you gently into a new relationship with your body and your mind.
Svaroopa® yoga is profoundly transformative work. The inward focused, meditative approach creates and supports healing and personal transformation.
Classes are 90 minutes to allow for a long relaxation (Shavasana) at the beginning and end of each class. Everything you need is provided at the course. Please wear comfortable clothing and limit the use of perfumes or scents that people may be sensitive to. This course is most effective if you can get up and down off the floor without assistance.
Nora Beckjord:
Nora’s journey with yoga began in the early 80’s but in the 90’s she started a sales career that involved traveling almost every week, including International travel. The travel eventually took a toll on her body and she had a lot of neck and back pain. She started back to yoga again in 2008 and discovered Svaroopa® yoga that she now teaches. “After the first class I knew something had changed deep within my core. I felt an ease in my body and my mind was calmer than it had been in years. I became a Svaroopa® yoga teacher to deepen my personal practice and so that I could teach this amazing style of yoga to others. I strive in every class to give the experience of a pain and tension-free body.”
Nora has over 1000 hours of Svaroopa® yoga teacher training, and she’s certified in Embodyment® Yoga Therapy, Teaching Half Day Workshops and Prenatal Yoga. She’s also a Certified Yoga Ayurveda Specialist from the Himalayan Institute. She has been teaching since 2009 and takes regular continuing ed classes so that she can pass the knowledge gained to her students.

I am a former student of Nora while she was teaching Svaroopa yoga at a St. Paul yoga studio. I attended her classes regularly for a year, usually twice per week. The regular practice helped me improve my bodily comfort and flexibility, not to mention how it helped to calm the mind. After just a few Svaroopa yoga classes, I was walking differently - so much better! My hips were moving freely, as they should. Many months and regular visits to a physical therapy office in Bloomington had produced no sustained improvement for my body.
I found Nora's knowledgeable instruction, verbal cues, and individual assistance to be tremendously helpful. She's got an engaging, warm and joyful personality that can help lighten the spirit and mood of all participants.
I wish I lived closer to her new home so that I could continue a regular practice under her instruction.
Each teacher I've worked with has been welcoming and helpful. I do hope that they're soon able to get another Svaroopa yoga instructor on staff who's well-trained in that method.
Nora's knowledge and expertise are beyond superb. The most wonderful thing about her is her warm, friendly, supportive energy. I've taken yoga my entire adult life and she is absolutely the best teacher I've ever had.
Appreciated help with the blankets & blocks. Pace was nice, voice/directions flowed well.
Nora is clear, calm, warm and grounded. I enjoyed it.
Very relaxing class. Plenty of time for in-depth focus on the asanas.
Although it was new, I understood most of the instruction. I enjoyed the pace and the teacher.
I thought it was taught slow & purposeful. It was blissful & soothing. Thank you Nora!
Explanations were well presented before entering poses which is very helpful vs watching and mimicking.
Overall very pleasant- nice energy, good music, lovely experience of New Blanket Yoga.
The demonstrations were clear and well paced. Help with adjusting props helped. Thanks especially for the quicker easier poses that can be used during breaks in daily routine.
Nora explained poses step by step and she made sure we were doing poses correctly. I liked everything about the workshop. I liked that she combined silent and guided shavasana and gave some specific poses to help relieve neck & shoulder tightness.
I have been practicing Svaroopa yoga for a couple of years now and still picked up a bunch of tips that I loved! Thank you!
Nora has a very easy-going personality and makes following her instruction enjoyable.
Very thorough- slow- well explained.
It was very nice and very long restorative class. The handout will be helpful to get a routine at home.
Nora has such a great presence. She is so calming and you can totally tell she wants everyone to benefit as much as they could from the .workshop. I really liked the exercises she included in the workshop
Very slow and thorough explanations plus demo. Great spine work!
Very well prepared, fostered quietness, experienced teacher.
Deep- not what I expected but better!
Nora patiently explained and helped when needed. The best thing I have done for my SELF! Restorative with a very spiritual center.
Wonderful! I have never had so much ease or depth with standing poses.
Very good class, I can't believe it was 3 hours- it felt like 10 minutes. I definitely felt more open in the chest and shoulders after all the poses.
Good sequencing of poses- feel much less tight afterwards.
Nora is really nice, sweet and ready to help with poses and all valuable information. I really appreciate what she does.
I enjoyed the flow of the class and learned a lot about the importance of having an un-tucked tailbone and more about my pelvis. What I liked the most was that all skill levels were accommodated.
It's a wonderful experience and very helpful, especially during my third trimester. Clear explanation and provided additional support as needed. Thank you for offering this workshop!
Nora does a great job explaining and demonstrating poses. She also does adjustments as needed.
It's been very nice! Relaxing & seems to ease muscular stress & fatigue.
Great to have a yoga class that accommodates and helps you transition through pregnancy. I feel like I am doing childbirth prep when doing yoga.
The class is calming and exactly what I've needed at this time.
