About
DharmaYoga is a prominent yoga studio located in Falmouth, New Zealand, that offers a unique and transformative experience based on the teachings of legendary Yogi Sri Dharma Mittra. Inspired by classical Eight-Limbed or Hatha – Raja Yoga, Dharma Yoga incorporates elements of flowing Vinyasa, inversions, and held poses to help practitioners discover deep healing relaxation and meditation.
Established in 1975 by Sri Dharma Mittra, Dharma Yoga is a comprehensive practise that aims to enhance flexibility, strength, balance, and concentration. Through the practise of Asanas (physical postures), the body and mind are toned and invigorated. Pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditative techniques regulate the heartbeat, de-stress the nervous system, and promote a state of calmness. Guided deep healing relaxation or Yoga Nidra is also integrated into the practise, providing stress relief, mental clarity, and physical rejuvenation.
Dharma Yoga is a practise that is both traditional and contemporary, making it suitable for practitioners of all levels in today's fast-paced world. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced yogi, DharmaYoga offers a range of daily classes, workshops, and a transformative Life of a Yogi teacher training programme facilitated by Sri Dharma Mittra and senior DYRTs (Dharma Yoga Registered Teachers).
