The dystopia will be livestreamed! An anonymously managed internet game lets anyone sign up to play or watch. Many watchers pay to issue challenges to a few players, who must complete the assigned stunts in the real world and livestream them via their own phones to prove they’ve completed them. Each challenge is accompanied by a monetary reward for success, with higher risks leading to higher payouts. When a shy girl enrolls as a player, she’s immediately issued an embarrassing but harmless challenge. She completes it easily, and then she’s prompted to complete an increasingly dangerous series of stunts.

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.
