Styles and levels
Most of the classes at svara YOGA are vinyasa in its several forms: a body and breath flow, a mindful and slow version, and a mindful and strong class that brings in elements of ashtanga, pranayama and a little yoga philosophy. Yin yoga is the other main thread, with longer holds and props for support, including a Sunday evening yin class. Breathwork and meditation appear in many classes, and calmer sessions are offered for those who want to slow down.
The classes are grouped by level as well as by style. Yoga Basics is a five-part course that introduces one focus per week, such as rotations, heart openers or backbends. Experienced practitioners will find strong and flowing options, and there is a members-only course for those who want to practice together in a fixed group.

Practice at svara YOGA is weighted toward the evening, with most classes falling after work. Morning classes begin from 9:30am, and the busiest start times are around 5pm, 6:30pm and 8pm. Weekends hold a smaller share of the schedule, including the Sunday evening yin class that closes the week.
Beyond its own classes, svara YOGA works with two partner studios in Hamburg. Classes from Temple of Halima offer hatha yoga with an emphasis on balancing the body's energy, and Biohealth.Love contributes fascia yoga, which combines gentle and dynamic movement with work on the connective tissue.
