Svaha is the wife of Shiva in His manifestation as Agni (fire).
The word SVAHA comes from Sanskrit. The inner Self is called "Sva" and "Ha" means sacrifice. When you sacrifice your little ego-self, the Self comes out. Svaha yoga center means the place where you sacrifice your so-called egocentric self.
Generally we always say, 'where have you been?' "I went to the market myself" we answer. This self that we refer to is only the physical or the mental or the intellectual self. In Indian English, in order to differentiate between the higher and the lower self, people use a capital S for the higher or the real Self and a small s for the lower self. To reach that higher Self you must sacrifice the lower self. That is what Svaha means.
Why search for the Self? The human predicament is that we are searching for something, which we are not able to find. What are you searching for? Happiness. How long do you want to be happy? Always? We want to be happy permanently. Where have we been searching for this? Outside?
Yoga teaches you to find happiness within yourself. Swami Ramaswarupananda
