Dharma Yoga

Dharma Yoga is a graceful, yet challenging practice based on Sri Dharma Mittra’s 50+ years of classical Hatha yoga teachings. Dharma Mittra is the creator of the famous 908 Asana chart that has been a staple in ashrams, yoga studios and homes since it was introduced nearly 30 years ago. Dharma Mittra turned 82 in May of 2021 and still teaches in Manhattan. Warm up includes a few rounds of Surya Namaskara (sun salutations), then moves into the Shiva Namaskara vinyasa. This practice includes standing balancing poses, backbends, forward folds, inversions and twists. The class ends with a long guided savasana (relaxation) and pranayama (breathing techniques). Dharma Level 1 is a very therapeutic practice and can be modified to suit those new to yoga, but at the same time offers more challenging variations for students who are more advanced.
