About SRY - Supreme Release Yoga
Release and nourish your spine, mapping holding patterns of the body, mind, emotions, karma and ancestry. Layers resolve to reveal the wellness and truth of your being within. Through this practice you nurture, soften, rejuvenate and heal, and leave behind the viewpoint that you need to “fix” the body.
This approach decompresses the spine for a healing and transformational effect. The spine is both the anatomical foundation of the body and the conduit of the nourishing nectar {soma} and transformative feminine fire {kuṇḍalinī śakti}. SRY also offers a direct, embodied experience of timeless yogic scripture and oral tradition, and Kaya threads contemplative teachings together with the direct experience of āsana of pranayama.
If you’ve been afraid of or become disenchanted with ‘yogaland’ superficialities or the “stretch” vs “strength” binary you’ve found a home in SRY. No yoga mats, No Mirrors, No performance, No workout, No aesthetic or athletic achievement. This is truly about inner unfoldment, bliss, healing, transformation and Self love.
Supreme Release Yoga is both accessible and advanced, both gentle and deep. The only way to understand it, is to experience it!

FAQ:
Each weekly practice is about 60-75 minutes. Kaya also adds a bonus shorter practice each month. Inside the member area you can find mini practices of 5-15 minute, medium practices of 20-40 minutes, and fuller practices of up to an hour or more. The SRY Studio is deigned to fit your full yogic life. Many students enjoy doing the hour+ practices 1-2 times a week, and sustaining with a 30 minute practice on other days.
No problem! Live attendance is a treat, and many members organize their schedules to make this possible. But the real gem of the SRY Studio is the anytime-access to the full library of content to practice regardless of your time zone or schedule! The live class times will vary month-to-month to make access possible for the diverse community.
Many students of SRY have some form of pain – whether due to an injury, overuse, phase of life, constitution or otherwise. Most find that this practice is not only profoundly soothing and accessible but directly healing and resolving to pain! You can become pain-free. Still, it is impossible for even the most gentle accessible pose to work for everyone all the time. Kaya always references propping and alignment alternatives, as well as pose alternatives. If you truly need support, it is best to have one {or more} private sessions with Kaya {online} to assess what will and will not work for your body. You can leave those sessions equipped with your personalized alternatives or propping to make the studio practices work for you!
Absolutely! Dig a well! Kaya plans the SRY Studio themes in accord with her Online Program schedule so that they are a perfect opportunity for students to directly experience and embody the teachings she offers in programs like the Nectar of the Gita or the Nectar of Nidra. Students who are in those programs and the SRY Studio get a truly deep and full experience.
Welcome home. You’ll find here, not only a physical practice that is completely outside the stretch-strengthen binary of yogaland, but also outside the “yoga therapy as physical therapy in Indian clothing” problem of modern Yoga Therapy. Furthermore, you’ve finally found a practice that actually directly EMBODIES the philosophical teachings of Patanjali Yoga Sūtras, the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gītā, and Tantric Texts such as the Shiva Samhitā,
