Karma to Dharma 2021: An Online Yoga Community tapped directly into Ashram Life

Learn to truly "Live Yoga" through Sangha, online lectures, regular Sadhana, and Ashram Life opportunities for deeper practice and connection.

Karma to Dharma Program - 2021 cohort starts April 6, 2021

An Online Yoga Community with direct ties to authentic Yogic teachings and Ashram living

​Starting April 6, 2021 and running for its second year, “Karma To Dharma” is an opportunity for Ishtadev Niwas' core community and dedicated teachers and students of Yoga to continue lean into their fullest potential and explore living a Yogic lifestyle held by the pillars of Sangha (community) and Satsang (spiritual discourse seated in truth). 

​Karma to Dharma is the best way for new students to the Ashram along with core community members to come together to support each other to continue to bring Yoga into your world as a way of life rather than something we simply practice on the mat.  ​Through the forum and online community, this is a facilitated course that bridges worlds by existing online and in-person, giving opportunity to dig deeper into Self and into the teachings. 

Karma to Dharma 2021 will incorporate new Yogic training and philosophy lectures, regular Satsangs and online gatherings, collective Sadhana, and ongoing opportunities for free and discounted Ashram life programming and retreats.  Welcome home!
