Dharma Mittra Yoga in Seattle

In August of 2008 I went through the life changing experience of completing the Dharma Mittra 200 hour Life of a Yogi teacher training course. I have already begun teaching classes privately and wherever I am as karma yoga for no charge. What I liked so much about this training was it that emphasized the spritual side of yoga first. The asana physical practice is used as a gateway to achieve the ceasing of the chattering of the mind stuff (citta chatter) in order to achieve union with the divine Self that lives internally in the space to the right of the physical heart. This Atman Self is what we carry with us from incarnation to incarnation. It will never leave us. When you and I are in this place of Atman we say Namaste denoting that then there is only one of us. Here I am in one of my most favorite poses Pinchamayarasana (forearm balance) during the training. Here I am at my graduation ceremony on October 11, 2008 being presented my certificate by Dharma Mittra.
