Mission Workshops and Courses:
Opening doors to something deeper
A Mission workshop gives students a chance to unpack a particular skill, technique or posture, and linger a bit longer than they would in a regular class. A workshop is a chance to explore and to ask questions. They are generally taught on a Friday night or at the weekend, giving students more time to sink in, reflect and learn.

Dharma Yoga with Kirtan
Dharma yoga is a system of classical Hatha-Raja Yoga based on the teachings of Sri Dharma Mittra, a living master of yoga. It is a devotional practice that emphasises radiant health, a clear mind and a compassionate heart.
It is important to start the New Year with the right intention. This special 2-hour class for Mission consists of a graceful, yet challenging, Shiva Namaskar Vinyasa and a short Kirtan to close. Although the Shiva Namaskar Vinyasa is challenging, it is accessible to different levels of practitioners because it is designed to meet each individual’s needs. The physical part of Dharma Yoga practice will strengthen practitioners, not only physically but mentally, and help them to deepen their spiritual practice.
Kirtan (call-and-response chanting) is one of devotional practices common to the Bhakti Yoga, and Sri Dharma Mittra regularly teaches this beautiful method of yoga practice in NYC. Through chanting you practice Dharana (concentration) that is pleasant and demands little effort. It becomes meditation when the concentration is uninterrupted. Chanting gives pleasure to the mind, and at the same time, opens and purifies the heart. Chanting with devotion will cultivate reverence and love.
This class is open to all levels, except for complete beginners. Modifications and variations will be given to make the asana practice accessible to all, so as to enjoy our time together.

This handstand course focuses on press to handstand.
The course embarks on a journey of balance, strength, and poise. The classes will unfold with careful guidance, focusing on foundational elements crucial for success.
You will delve into body tension, understanding weight distribution, and mastering proper alignment. Each session cultivates mindfulness as students gradually overcome fears and build confidence in inversions. Progression unfolds through drills targeting shoulder stability, wrist mobility, and body awareness.
With instruction, participants learn to kick up, finding stability against gravity’s pull. Amidst hard work and determination, you will discover newfound strength and agility on the palms of your hands.

Saturday 17th January: 12.30-2.30pm – Stand Up: Part 1
In this workshop you will learn (or refine) how to assist the standing poses of the sequence (warriors, folds, balances, splits)
You will learn the difference between active and passive assists, when and how to use one or the other. Introducing the “Vice principle” on how to secure the base to allow more freedom of breath and less unnecessary tension. How to be firm to create softness and vice versa.
Saturday 31st January: 12.30-2.30pm – Stand Up: Part 2
In this workshop you will learn how to assist a student practising inversions and arm-balances (including Handstand, Headstand, Pincha, Scorpion , Crow, Crow to Handstand, Spot Tripod, Straddle to Tripod, 1 Leg Crow, Galavasana, and more)
We will look at the classical entries but also more fun ones (think kicking up to handstand vs pressing up to handstand)
You will learn how to cleverely position yourself and use your stronger base muscle groups and body weight to save yourself from injury and keep your body healthy long term. How to assess if the student is ready for such a pose / transition should they ask you to try it.
The difference between assisting these poses in a yoga class setting to 1-1 or gymnastic spotting. And the different approaches to positioning and hand placement in a static vs vinyasa setting.

If you’ve ever experienced Transformational Breathwork and Sound, you’ll know it can feel almost miraculous! Transformational breathwork is a therapeutic breathing technique that can relieve physical tension in the body, emotional stresses and blockages, leaving you feeling lighter and more connected to Self. Using circular breathing, you can move into an altered conscious state and access and release deeply buried obstacles and blocks. There is no other technique that can take you as deep into yourself, in such a short period of time, as breathwork.
After the Breathwork session, you’ll continue to lie on your mat, while Pablo will bring you into a state of deep integrative relaxation using sound. Sound healing has been used for centuries to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance overall wellbeing. The soothing sounds and vibrations of the Gong, singing bowls, chimes and drum, will help create a meditative and immersive environment for you to assimilate and integrate all the benefits of the breathwork session.
We aim to show you the power of your breath and sound as vehicles for healing and enhancing your physical, mental and emotional health. The session will last for 2.5 hours, giving us space to set an intention and to share and integrate our experiences after the breathwork and sound. We will start with a breathwork session, moving into beautiful sound healing and floating off into bliss.
This workshop is suitable for everyone. For this experience, bring a bottle of water… you might want to bring a journal to make notes on your experience but this is not required. There is no movement component to this workshop, so no need to wear “yoga clothes” but please dress for comfort.
If you are aware of any heart conditions or brain conditions (ie. Epilepsy, PTSD) you may experience or could be/are pregnant please let Sally or Pablo know on the day.
