FREE* YOGA

I'm offering two free* Dharma Mittra yoga classes each week though mid-July as part of my teacher training.




These Level I classes are suitable for all levels of student - from raw beginners to seasoned practitioners who wish to slow down. I find this meditative sequence helpful to my ashtanga practice; it opens the hips and shoulders like nothing else. It also seems to magically alleivate aches and pains caused by everything from air travel to overpracticing. These classes are small - very small - and you will get all of the personal attention you need. They each end with pranayama (breathing techniques) and a brief meditation.



FRIDAYS, 10-11AM, through July 11
Silverspace, 1474 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago
(Just south of North/Milwaukee/Damen; look for the black door, just north of the Bongo Room). Yes, we will be holding class on Friday, July 4.


TUESDAYS, 11:15-12:15AM, through July 8
Yoga Trek Center, 911 S. Lombard Ave. in Oak Park
(It's literally a few steps from the CTA blue line's Lombard stop and the Eisenhower Expressway's Austin exit).


*(NOTE: The suggested donation for each class is $5, which benefits future teacher trainees. If you can't afford $5, you are welcome to come anyway).





DHARMA MITTRA WORKSHOP

This amazing session -- it means "The Great Practice" - will help to deepen your yoga practice. It begins with spiritual Purification discourses and continues with in-depth, long and challenging Shiva Namaskara posture practice, a classical hatha flow that is invigorating but not exhausting.
