Wheel yoga class
Learn and explore the many benefits of the Dharma Yoga Wheel in this guided class. We will learn how to safely back bend, increase flexibility, breathe deeply in the postures, increase blood flow, and learn how to use the wheel to deepen your practice. A traditional Vinyasa flow style will be incorporated. This class is for all levels. Pranayama
Pranayama is one of the basic practices of yoga, though it is often neglected in exercise based yoga classes as taught in gyms and fitness centers. Prana means energy, life force or breath. Yama is translated as restraint, or control. When we work with our breath, we gain access to our life force energy.Pranayama is traditionally thought to be a much more powerful practice than asana and therefore some systems of yoga don’t introduce pranayama until some mastery of asana is attained. However, basic pranayama is accessible to the most beginner student, even those whose physical impairments and injuries prevent most asanas. In addition, pranayama is an access point to the subtler aspects of yoga and is tremendously helpful in developing body awareness, mindfulness, focus and stamina. Yoga nidra & Deep healing yogic relaxation

Each session includes different special practices and lectures. Do not miss this powerful healing class. |
Psychic Development Technique
Psychic Development is a specific course of Yoga techniques to use the higher mind to achieve your life's goals and successfully fulfill your destiny. Everything is created in thought form before it manifests into the material world. Therefore thoughts precede physical action. When mental projection techniques are employed through psychic development, we avoid wasting time in misguided actions due to the interference of the lower mind. Psychic Development is about using the higher mind (the metaphysical mind), honing and wielding it like a machete in the jungle to cut through the myriad problems of the lower mind and weak, uncreative thoughts, using the higher mind instead to manifest your thoughts. It allows us to fulfill our duties and responsibilities as well as achieve life's highest goals. Yogi Gupta (Guru of Sri Dharma Mittra) was the first to bring these techniques and teach this most useful course in the USA for the benefit of mankind. |
