Dharma Yoga Level 1
October 12 @ 9:00 am - 10:30 am EDT
An event every week that begins at 9:00 am on Saturday, repeating until October 26, 2024
Dharma Yoga is a modern interpretation of classical Eight-limbed or Hatha-Raja Yoga, deeply rooted in ethical precepts that includes elements of flowing Vinyasa, inversions and held poses that will help you to discover concentration, meditation, abiding contentedness and deep healing relaxation. Breathing exercises (pranayama) and meditative techniques regulate the heartbeat, de-stress the nervous system and calm the mind. Guided deep healing relaxation or Yoga Nidra relieves stress, slows down the thoughts, calms the mind and recharges one’s physical body. A complete practice that will lead to radiant health, a peaceful life and, eventually self-realization. Dharma Yoga is traditional, yet contemporary — perfect for the fast-paced world of today.

About the teacher:
Aditi is a urban researcher, based in New York. Aditi grew up practicing yoga in her community center in Mumbai, India.

Since then she has been practicing ashtanga yoga and reaping the benefits of this deeply meditative practice. To share this experience with everyone, Aditi has been teacher training at the Dharma Yoga Center in New York, learning under Shri Dharma Mitra.
