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. In 2020, as the pandemic entered our lives, Aditi turned to yoga, to center healing and growth. 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.

As part of her teacher training, Aditi is offering free yoga classes. Participants will be asked to fill out an evaluation form post-practice. This course will be an overview of the practice and we will offer a longer series in the fall.
