Dharma Mittra - Maha Sadhana - Level 2

Maha Sadhana: The Great Practice presents the jewels of wisdom from Sri Dharma Mittra’s nearly 50 years of yoga practice—an extraordinary life dedicated to self-realization. Maha Sadhana Level II is appropriate for experienced students and presents asana, pranayama and meditation practices designed to carry the practitioner deep into the heart of yoga. In this DVD, Dharma presents Level II of his remarkable teachings, an approach to yoga respecting the great foundations of this ancient practice: asana, pranayama, meditation, ethical rules, and spiritual study. The DVD includes instruction and guided practices for asana, pranayama and meditation, as well as exclusive discourses by Dharma on the spiritual journey.

CONTENT:
The Maha Sadhana DVDs are the first professional instructional videos ever presented by Sri Dharma Mittra, famous for his Master Yoga Chart of 908 Postures, which is seen on the walls of many prominent yoga studios throughout the United States and overseas. Sri Dharma is sometimes called “the teacher’s teacher”, and has introduced tens of thousands of students to the practice of yoga since he began teaching in 1967.

Maha Sadhana Level II contains two unique special features: a blissful 20-minute kirtan performance by Dharma and the story of his famous poster.

REVIEW:
"This is indeed a great practice, not only in length but also in information… As the first generation of American yoga teachers ages and passes on, it’s essential to preserve a record of yoga’s legacy worldwide to remind future generations of their roots. This DVD is important not only for its instruction but for its historical value as well."

"These two DVDs are the first instructional videos ever presented by Dharma Mittra, who runs the Dharma Yoga Center in New York City and is famous for his Master Yoga Chart of 908 asanas. In these well-produced videos, each four hours in length, Dharma (born in 1939 in Brazil) shares the knowledge and insight gathered from more than 50 years of yoga practice. Those years include 11 as a bramacharya, a celibate religious student, devoted to his guru, Swami Kailashananda (Yogi Gupta).

“The richness of information on these DVDs makes them a valuable resource for students at all levels and from all schools of yoga. The best part for me, though, is just watching Dharma practice and hearing him talk. The deep devotion with which he does the asana, pranayama and meditation practices is truly inspiring. And the charming humor, wisdom and love with which he speaks reveal a being who has realized his divine nature and shares it with us here."
