All Dharma Yoga classes are based on the Shiva Namaskara Vinyasa flow: a series created by Sri Dharma Mittra specifically designed to strengthen and purify the entire system. Following the vinyasa portion of the class is a specific series of stationary poses. Also included in each class are breathing exercises, chanting, deep relaxation, meditation and a brief philosophical discourse.

Our teachers offer a supportive environment for students to practice easefully and make rapid progress towards the ultimate goal of Yoga. Students new to the style can expect a concentrated, yet playful practice space, rooted in the foundational principle of Yoga: Ahimsa or Non-Violence. We encourage students to come to the practice free from expectation, without any sense of competition or judgment.
