Don't miss this opportunity to study with
on of the Dharma Mittra
“Everything is an act of adoration to the Lord”, says Dharma, who is often referred to as the “teacher’s teacher”. Born in central Brazil, Dharma first studied yoga from books that he borrowed from his younger brother in the 1950s. As a boy, being raised Catholic, he was fascinated by the concepts of Karma and reincarnation and wanted to know what would happen if he died. In a Manhattan ashram in 1964, Dharma began studies with Swami Kailashananda, known as Yogi Gupta, who became his guru. In 1974, Dharma opened the Dharma Yoga Center in Manhattan, and in 1983 he started work on the now famous poster of the 908 asanas, which today hangs in ashrams, studios, and gyms around the world. The effects of Dharma Mittra’s classes are remarkable and life changing. Students and teachers from around the world are forever changed by the simple, ancient teachings, which embrace all aspects of the science of Yoga. Dharma is a true living Yogi, a rare gem in the world of Yoga today. DHARMA MITTRA COURSE DESCRIPTIONS Full Weekend $325.00 (plus gst) Saturday, October 20, 2007
