Dharma Yoga
DHARMA YOGA is based on the teachings of legendary Yogi Sri Dharma Mittra in NYC.
It is a wonderful interpretation of classical Eight-Limbed or Hatha - Raja Yoga, that includes elements of flowing Vinyasa, inversions and held poses that will help you to discover deep healing relaxation and Meditation.
Dharma Yoga was created by Sri Dharma Mittra in 1975. The practice of Asanas (physical postures) tones and invigorates the body and mind, leading to enhanced flexibility, strength, balance and concentration.
Pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditative techniques regulate the heartbeat, de-stress the nervous system and calm the mind. Guided deep healing relaxation or Yoga Nidra relieves stress, calms the mind and recharges one’s physical body.
Dharma Yoga is a complete practice that will lead to radiant health, a peaceful life and, eventually self-realisation. Dharma Yoga is traditional, yet contemporary — perfect for all kinds of practitioners in the fast-paced world of today.
Sri Dharma Mittra
“It is my greatest joy to share with the students this knowledge that I have acquired over the past 50 years of practice and study. Dharma Yoga will give one’s body the power and strength to have resistance to common illnesses and diseases.
With proper encouragement and increased faith in the teacher, one can improve his physical body and mental attitude rapidly, thereby igniting the higher motives of making one’s self useful to himself and all mankind.”
Sri Dharma Mittra, founder of Dharma Yoga, age 86, has been teaching classes continuously almost every day since he first started in 1967. To this day, he still makes himself available regularly to anyone who walks through the doors of the New York Dharma Yoga Center in need of help and direction.
He is affectionately known as the "Rock of Yoga" or the “Teachers’ Teacher”.
Dharma Yoga with
Michael
Michael started his Yoga practice with the legendary Yoga Master Sri Dharma Mittra in 2007, whilst living in New York.
With the true inspiration of his Master’s way of teaching this holy science of “settling the mind into silence”, Michael became Germany’s first accredited Dharma Yoga teacher in 2009. He moved back to Germany where he started to teach his own classes in Hamburg for 6 years before he moved to London in 2016.
In 2023 Michael received his 500 hrs DY LOAY TT certification (Yoga Alliance RT) and then in 2024 his 700 hrs DY LOAY TT certificate. He is continuously teaching many groups, corporate, and 1on1 classes all over London and online via Zoom.

Philosophy of Yoga
The Sanskrit word yoga means “union” and “integration”, the “tightening” of the body to the soul. Yoga has been proven to have health-promoting effects and alleviates symptoms such as sleep disorders, headaches and depression through targeted exercises. Stress-related illnesses are avoided through regular yoga, as many treatments are based on meditation and breathing exercises.

Sri Dharma's
"Master Yoga Chart of
908 Postures"
In 1984, Sri Dharma completed the Master Yoga Chart of 908 Postures as an offering to his Guru for all yoga aspirants. This original masterpiece was meticulously assembled from over 1,350 photographs of posture variations he took of himself, all before the computer age. Over 300 of these now-popular posture variations were created by Sri Dharma, though he will always say they only came through Divine intuition.
The poster has been an invaluable teaching tool for decades. It can be found in yoga studios, schools and ashrams worldwide, including in India.
"Michael is a fantastic teacher, genuinely cares about his practice and students. I’ve been a student for over a year and I wouldn’t change to any other yoga studio."
