Yoga
“Yoga is the settling of the mind into silence.”
– The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
My path with Yoga Practice
I began practising yoga in my forties, despite having no prior background in sports or dance, in an effort to improve my physical well-being.
When I discovered Dharma Yoga, I realised that yoga goes far beyond mere physical exercise. It became a significant support for not only my physical health but also my mental and spiritual growth.
After two years of practising with Dharma Yoga teachers in London, I travelled to New York City to learn directly from Sri Dharma and completed my first teacher training in 2016. Since then, I have never looked back. I am convinced that yoga is a lifelong study, much like my spiritual studies in healing, mediumship, and Zen Buddhism. I believe that all these practices are interconnected and lead back to one ultimate source.
What is Dharma Yoga
Dharma Yoga is a system of classical Hatha-Raja Yoga. A devotional practice that emphasises good health, a clear mind and a kind heart.
Dharma Yoga is named in honour of my teacher, Sri Dharma Mittra, a revered yoga master who has dedicated his life to karma yoga—selfless service. Through over fifty years of devoted practice and teaching, he has accumulated profound wisdom, which he generously shares at his school in New York and worldwide, inspiring countless students on their yoga journey.
My Teacher
Sri Dharma Mittra
My teacher, Sri Dharma Mittra, embodies the essence of a true Yogi and spiritual guide. As a Self-Realized being, he imparts the profound wisdom that only through knowledge can we remove all pain and suffering.
With humility, Sri Dharma Mittra attributes no personal credit to the teachings he offers us. He describes his instruction as a contemporary interpretation of the classical Eight-limbed or Hatha-Raja Yoga tradition, passed down to him by his own Guru, Sri Swami Kailashananda, also known as Yogi Gupta. This comprehensive practice encompasses Asana (physical postures), Pranayama (breathing exercises), Kirtan (chanting), Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation), Meditation, and Spiritual Discourse, where we delve into sacred scriptures such as The Bhagavad Gita, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and Self-Knowledge (Atmaboda).
I am profoundly grateful to have crossed paths with such an extraordinary teacher. Sri Dharma Mittra shines as a beacon of light, illuminating the path of service to all beings through his exemplary demonstration of love and compassion.
