Svabhava (Sanskrit: स्वभाव; IAST: svabhāva)Pāli: sabhāva; Chinese: 自性 zìxìng; Tibetan: རང་བཞིན, Wylie: rang-bzhin ) literally means "own-being" or "own-becoming". It is the intrinsic nature, essential nature or essence of living beings.
The concept and term svabhāva are frequently encountered in Hindu and Buddhist traditions such as Advaita Vedānta (e.g. in the Avadhūta Gītā), Mahāyāna Buddhism (e.g. in the Ratnagotravibhāga), Vaishnavism (e.g., the writings of Rāmānuja) and Dzogchen (e.g. in the seventeen tantras).
In the nondual Advaita Vedānta yoga text, Avadhūta Gītā, Brahman (in the Upanishadic denotation) is the sabhāva.
In the Mahāyāna Buddhadharma tradition(s) it is one of a suite of terms employed to denote the Buddha-nature, such as "gotra".
The Bhagavad Gītā (18.41) has nature (svabhava) as a distinguishing quality differentiating the varṇā.
Overzee (1992: p. 74) in her work on de Chardin (1881–1955) and Rāmānuja (1017–1137) highlights Rāmānuja's usage of svabhāva in relation to Brahman thus:
28. One self-nature (svabhava) I teach, which is removed from speculation and thought-construction, which belongs to the exquisite [spiritual] realm of the wise, removed from the two Svabhavas [i.e., the Parikalpita and the Paratantra].

However, YouTube rather impressively spotted it and under the rationale of copyright infringement rendered my video unviewable to residents of the British Isles. Hence this "UK Edition" without the Father Ted illustration.]
This sequence is inspired by a courageous student of mine who first introduced me to Svabhava mudra, or what I like to call the "heart hug". The class prioritizes time deepening in standing poses for grounding and using variations of ustrasana to prepare the body for backbends. With stability and opening, the class moves toward a peak pose of Natarajasana with deep half pigeon and sweet savasana at the end.

Gentle hands surprise me when I least expect
Anything that comes my way, anybody
So we dance, dance freely, dance just like we have
No mortals to bother us, it's electric we touch
