Meet Your Next Teacher
Yoga Journal|April/May 2017

Sri Dharma Mittra landed in New York City in 1964 and watched firsthand as yoga went from an obscure practice to a commercial mainstay. At 77 years old, he has a few things to say about what he’s witnessed and how yoga is a practice for all ages. We asked him to share his views on the evolution of yoga, and why, as the once-master of contorted asana (see his legendary poster, the Master Yoga Chart of 908 Asanas), he now places so much emphasis on yoga nidra, or yogic sleep.

Meet Your Next Teacher

YOU’VE STUDIED YOGA AT YOUR LOCAL STUDIO. And sweated through classes at workshops and festivals. But if you want to take your practice or teaching to the next level, and have ever wondered about studying with the world’s best teachers, Yoga Journal’s new Master Class program can help.

We’ve assembled nine world-renowned senior teachers, including Seane Corn, Sri Dharma Mittra, Aadil Palkhivala, and Shiva Rea, and we’re giving you exclusive access to study with each of them for six weeks. From Aadil Palkhivala’s exploration of Purna Yoga to Shiva Rea’s workshop on the intricacies of Sun Salutations, you’ll have the opportunity to study a unique variety of essential yoga topics that you wouldn’t get in a single teacher training or workshop.

Over the course of this year-long membership, each Master Class teacher will offer his or her expertise and wisdom in the form of weekly yoga practices, dharma talks, guided self-study assignments, support, and inspiration.

Plus, you’ll get live webinars with all nine Master Class teachers, access to a private Facebook community, a one-year subscription to Yoga Journal magazine, discounts on our events, and for teachers, access to low-cost liability insurance and a listing in the Yoga Journal directory.

Are you ready to get a fresh perspective, tap into ancient wisdom, and maybe even meet your lifelong yoga mentor? Start by checking out this issue’s Master Class feature, in which Sri Dharma Mittra shares a home practice designed specifically to prepare your body and mind for his intensive workshop on yoga nidra. Then, visit yogajournal.com/masterclass and use the code MASTERCLASS for a 20 percent discount on this invaluable learning opportunity.
