What do I teach?

Alongside the physical asana practice, I teach yogic breathing, purification and progressive relaxation techniques, traditional meditation styles and yogic philosophy as an integral part of a complete yogic practice.

My teaching is based on the Dharma Yoga method, as taught by a great living yogi Sri Dharma Mittra, and stems from the traditional eight-limb yoga system with an emphasis and foundation in compassion towards all living beings.

I strongly believe in cultivation of personal yoga practice as a tool to finding quietness of the mind, experiencing the clear space of awareness and connect to your true inner Self.

About

\ one·ness \

: the quality or state of being one, such as

: SINGLENESS, WHOLENESS, SAMENESS, UNION

In its definition oneness is a synonym of yoga which translated from Sanskrit means ‘union’ or ‘to join’. A wise teacher once told me that a sign of enlightenment is to see sameness in everything. Declaration of oneness is a fake-it-till-you-make-it approach on that.

My first encounter with yoga was in 2001. After threading for over 15 years on a personal transformation path through various techniques, I have discovered Dharma yoga practice in 2017. With a strong belief in cultivating personal experience, I’ve followed my heart to New York where I had the privilege to study under the guidance of a great living yogi, Sri Dharma Mittra.

My teachings are rooted in a classical yoga method and include a dynamic vinyasa system (body postures), pranayama (breathing methods), nidra (yogic sleep) and meditation techniques. I have shared this knowledge in classes, workshops and one-on-one format around Europe, North America and South East Asia. I’m grateful for this opportunity to share some of those teachings with you for the benefit of all living beings.

/ śraddhā / : faith, trust

First out of five elemental companions on the journey of Self-realization is Faith. (YS 1.20)

Faith is not believing that the process of yoga will produce results projected from the perspective of our limited egos but surrendering to the idea that the optimal circumstances for our Self-realization are already enfolding.

Yoga helps to remove ideas of what we are and want to be, freeing space for the fullness of gifts that Reality has to offer.

Meditation opens the space in which modifications (vrittis) of the mind can be reintegrated as observed experience and their constricted energy released back to the source. In time and with practice, when the meditator, the object and the process of meditation become one, Union or the state yoga is reached.
Withdraw from the senses and unveil the inner space and its infinite subtle states. Developing a habit of meditation is foundation for spiritual progress.

When does a body posture become an asana? If you ask Rishi Patañjali, it’s only when it becomes sthira and sukha, stable and comfortable. How is that achievable in our personal practice? The quickest (and likely the only) way is to remove expectations on how a posture should enfold and the attempt to control its outcome, thus witnessing its perfect manifestation.
Instead of attempting to control, renounce the results of your actions and offer your pose for the benefit of all living beings. Only then the inherent body intelligence, that holds the key to all the asanas, manifests in a temporary form and becomes truly still and timeless.

Sthira-sukham asanam (YS, II.46)

There are infinite subtle levels in each of the Ashtanga yoga limbs, from the system’s first limb and its foundation Ahimsa – non-violence – to its final step Samadhi. How does this idea of infinite progression connect Ahimsa to Samadhi?

The mechanics of the process are quite simple: “Be as you want to become”.

The process starts with practicing non-violence towards all living beings, and in time, through constant effort, Samadhi is tasted.

Eventually, in a pure moment of Grace, the Seer becomes revealed as existence-consciousness-bliss and a foundation of all existence, the all-encompassing loving-kindness towards all living beings. This is exactly the idea encapsulated in the term of Ahimsa. With this understanding the next, subtler iteration of the process starts.

#ahimsa #astavakrasana #dharmayoga #dharmamittra #yogapractice #ashtanga #oneness #yogawisdom

Tapas comes from Sanskrit root “tap” that means to burn, heat. Continuous yogic practice creates Tapas that burns impurities of the body and mind preparing the individual for the highest of all knowledge that already resides within.

“I'm composing the Atmabodha, or Self-Knowledge, to serve the needs of those who have been purified through the practice of austerities, and who are peaceful in heart, free from cravings, and desirous of Liberation.”
(ver. 1) Atmabodha, Sankaracharya

The prerequisites are stated as clear as they can be, of that there is no doubt…

Restrain from the sense objects allows inward focus of attention, that ultimately leads to Self-knowledge. Everything is already within you. Om, Shanti!

“The man of self-control moving among objects with his senses under restraint and free from attachment and hate attains serenity of mind.”
The Bhagavad Gita (II.64), Translation by Swami Nikhilananda

The Self-knowledge, transcendental by its nature, requires ones heart as a comprehension tool. Opening our heart shifts the focus of yogic practices towards observing subtle states of consciousness arising in meditation practices.
Taking a deep dive through five koshas, with a goal to reach samadhi where the true nature of Self is revealed.

Glossy yoga looks attractive on Instagram, but in real life self-practice is a daunting task that makes you both the sculptor and the marble.
Try it today… You do it because it needs to be done.

“I am just a reflection of you.” “No one can purify anyone else .”
Yoga Wisdom, Sri Dharma Mittra

Every teacher has students as a perfect mirror of themselve on their own path of self-realization.
In essence you are teaching yourself through the means of others by externalizing and clarifying the topics that your Inner Guru teaches to the individualized self.

Why declaration of oneness?

one·ness \ ˈwən-nəs \
: the quality or state or fact of being one: such as a: SINGLENESS, WHOLENESS, SAMENESS, UNION

In its definition oneness is a synonym of yoga which translated from Sanskrit means union or to join.
My teacher, Sri Dharma Mittra, states that the sign of enlightened person is to see sameness in everything. Declaration of oneness is a fake-it-till-you-make-it approach on that.
