Frequently asked questions
Dharma Yoga Melbourne is a dedicated space for traditional yoga practice in Melbourne, inspired by the timeless teachings of Sri Dharma Mittra. My focus is to help you feel stronger, calmer, and more connected to your true nature— both on and off the mat. Whether you join a weekly yoga class in Collingwood or Fitzroy, a private session, yoga therapy, or a workplace wellbeing program, all teachings are offered with clarity, care, and authenticity.
Dharma Yoga is an independent, traditional yoga practice that goes beyond physical fitness. Keeping classes independent allows me to teach authentically, following classical yogic principles while making them accessible and practical for modern life. If you’re seeking yoga that includes asana, pranayama, meditation, and philosophy, this practice offers a complete pathway.
I offer in-person yoga classes in Melbourne (Collingwood and Fitzroy), as well as live online yoga classes on Zoom with real-time guidance. This makes the practice accessible whether you’re local to Melbourne or joining from anywhere in the world.
Absolutely. A beginner-friendly Maha Shakti class is a great place to start, or book a private intro session for personalised guidance. First-time students can access the special Intro Offer to explore the classes. If you have questions or concerns, you’re welcome to reach out directly.
Yes, tailored one-on-one and small-group private yoga sessions are available. These sessions are perfect for beginners, deepening an existing practice, or building confidence before joining group classes. If you are looking for support in healing, yoga therapy might be for you.
Yoga therapy is a personalized approach to restoring and maintaining health by using the timeless knowledge of yoga and ayurveda. Instead focusing on symptoms, yoga therapy addresses the root cause of imbalance. This means the approach is uniquely tailored to you, your lifestyle and specific needs. Find out more.
In a group class, everyone follows a shared sequence of practice. Yoga therapy is personalised one-on-one approach to healing which starts with: your health history, your constitution, and what is currently out of balance. You will receive a practice designed specifically for you. This includes movement, breath, relaxation, meditation, and simple diet and routine adjustments, and you learn how to integrate those practices into your daily life.
Yoga therapy is for anyone seeking a natural, sustainable path to health and balance. Common addressed conditions are: stress and anxiety, poor sleep, fatigue, back and neck tension, digestive complaints, or simply a sense of being out of balance. Nothing is looked at in isolation — the whole person, and their daily life, is considered
The initial consultation (90 minutes) begins with a diagnostic assessment rooted in the principles of yoga and ayurveda. Based on this assessment, you receive a tailored yoga therapy program. Subsequently, we meet again (60 minutes) to practise the program together, answer any questions that arise, and prepare you for self-practice. From there, some students return for occasional check-ins to refine their practice, others simply come back whenever they feel the need. The intention is always to make you self-sufficient.
No, it does not. Yoga therapy is a complementary approach. It works alongside, not instead of, medical care. It is never a substitute for diagnosis or treatment from your doctor or healthcare provider. If you are managing a health condition, yoga therapy can then gently support the process of restoring balance.
Yes. I offer workplace wellbeing programs in Melbourne and online, including yoga, yogic breathing techniques, desk mobility, relaxation practices, and stress-management sessions. These programs help teams feel more focused and balanced. Contact me for details.
Yoga is a process of removing what is not natural. Instead of expecting something specific, yoga helps reveal your natural state of clarity, strength, and balance. Common things students lose through consistent practice include: stiffness, poor sleep, stress reactivity, postural issues, and lack of mental focus. The result is feeling more grounded, capable, and connected.
