While the sprawling studio in the Flatiron District is not as glamorous as some of the more jazzed-up yoga studios around the city, the Dharma Yoga center commands a level of respect thanks in part to its illustrious founder Sri Dharma Mittra. The renowned teacher has been learning and practicing yoga for more than a few decades now and is widely respected among his peers. The center itself is done up in calming hues with good use of natural elements to induce a sense of tranquility like no other. From beginners to advanced, customers at this studio go through an excellent regime of traditional yoga and other techniques to unite the body and mind.
