James M. Duncan Jr. Branch Library

Beth Patridge Meeting Room

All levels are welcome to stretch, breathe and cultivate connections with body-heart-mind-spirit

This free class is rooted in the classical teachings of Sri Dharma Mittra and builds upon the foundational sequence to gently explore new depths of practice. Like all Dharma Yoga, this advanced beginner-to-intermediate level sequence blends the physical discipline of hatha yoga with the meditative and introspective qualities of raja yoga, using posture (asana), breathwork (pranayama), and meditation to promote vitality, inner stillness, and radiant peace.

Students will be guided through Surya Namaskar (sun salutations) and a slightly more dynamic variation of Shiva Namaskar (held poses), with options offered throughout to support students of all levels. Expect a complete and balanced practice that may also include mantras, guided deep relaxation in savasana, and alternate-nostril breathing (nadi shodhana) to calm the nervous system.

This sequence remains accessible to all levels, including beginners. Modifications and the use of props are always encouraged to ensure a safe and supportive experience for every-body.
