Next workshop: Bhakti & Mantra , September 3rd, 4:30pm EST.
Registration required at least 24 hours in advance and we’ll send you the zoom link.
Bhakti is the Yoga of the Heart & Devotion. It’s practices include deep listening and remembering the sacred or divine in everything. We’ll explore heart-centered practices that get us in touch with the nourishing, creative energy that exists within all of us and the power of embracing your authentic voice.
Bhakti includes storytelling, mantra, singing, creativity, dancing, praying, and bringing intentions of love and devotion into everything we do - even the mundane simple things in daily life. Deanna will share tools for embracing the healing power of our voices with self-compassion and non-judgement. These practices raise our consciousness and support us in holding space for all parts of ourselves, others, and the full spectrum of our human experience - leading to more joy, peace and conscious living.
Topics for upcoming workshops will be announced soon for the dates below. These will include: Bhakti/Mantra (Yoga of the Heart), Ayurveda, Yoga Sutras/Philosophy, Restorative Yoga, Pranayama (breathing practices), Chakras & Subtle Body and more… if you have a topic you want to explore, let us know at info@dhyanayogaarts.com.

From Deanna:
Yoga and it's Sister Sciences include so much more than just poses - this vast world beyond supports our holistic well-being ... physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. I love creating space for dialogue around how these ancient teachings and ancient technology apply to our real-time everyday life.
Often I get to share these teachings in teacher trainings, but I feel it's accessible to everyone and want to open the doors for anyone who wants to participate.
These teachings support a deeper understanding of ourselves, others and our world. They give us tools for the mind and help us in measuring experiences against our own "truth meter" so we can live with more joy, ease, wisdom, and compassion and trust the guidance that comes from within.
Dharma has many meanings, including "teachings of truth" or "universal laws" that support personal purpose, spiritual growth and universal balance.
I've studied many spiritual traditions over the years, and one of things I've found is that they all have similarities that point in the same direction. When we practice with heart and sincerity, it deepens our connection to Source (however we connect with it) and empowers us to bring awareness to the way we're living. For me, it strengthens discernment, kindness, strength, resilience, courage, gentleness and the ability to abide in unconditional love.
We'll explore these "truth and wisdom teachings" in the topics above to support your unique path of Yoga and Self-realization. I look forward to opening up the conversation with you and hope you'll join me. May you be happy, healthy, safe and live with joy and ease!

Introduction to Yoga for Back Care & Scoliosis with Deanna Sidoti
Sign up by 9/1/26 to save $50 with Early Bird
November 6th-8th 2026
For certified yoga teachers & students with back conditions. All levels welcome.
Yoga for Backcare & Scoliosis is different from other types of yoga. It's a specialized practice designed specifically for students with back conditions, including herniation, scoliosis, spondylolisthesis, stenosis, general back pain, and joint issues.
As yoga teachers, when we understand how to adapt practices intelligently and effectively, we can guide students in bringing awareness to their postural patterns and habits - and that awareness can create incredible change.
Working with neutral spine, joint stability, and specialized strength-work practices support students in relieving discomfort, alleviating pain, developing strength safely, and engaging with yoga in a way that feels joyful and sustainable.
I’ve seen students arrive feeling hopeless, convinced their backs could only get worse, and leave feeling confident that they can navigate their practice and daily life with more ease, strength, and freedom of movement. They reconnect to the activities they love, move with clarity, and cultivate a sense of vitality they thought was lost.
This 3-day immersion offers a hands-on, experiential approach to Yoga for Backcare & Scoliosis - practical tools and guided practice to support students in exploring yoga safely, effectively, and with awareness.
Schedule:
November 6: 2:00–5:00pm
November 7: 9:00am–12:00pm and 1:00–4:00pm
November 8: 10:00am–1:00pm and 2:00–5:00pm
Eligible for 15 Yoga Alliance Contact Hours & CE
We'll explore:
Principles of the central and autonomic nervous system to support healing and regulation
Key spinal anatomy: what to look for and avoid
Fundamental backcare principles, posture patterns and neutral spine practices
How to strengthen the back and core in the presence of back issues, with attention to joint stability
How to adapt yoga practices for different types of back conditions, including herniation, stenosis, spondylolisthesis, hyperkyphosis, hyperlordosis and general back pain
Restorative and supported practices for acute and post-acute conditions
Clear teaching cues and class directives that encourage self-awareness and conscious choice
Alignment-based practice and intelligent sequencing
An introduction to Yoga for Scoliosis: techniques, modifications, and progression strategies
Creating a safe, grounded space for students to learn and explore
This immersion is for yoga teachers looking to deepen their knowledge and confidence in teaching students with back concerns, as well as for yoga students seeking an intelligent, effective approach to their backcare practice.
Deanna Sidoti is a Yoga for Backcare & Scoliosis specialist and founder of Dhyana Yoga Arts in New Jersey. She has helped hundreds of students with a wide range of back conditions through clear, compassionate, and empowering teaching that supports healing, resilience, and self-awareness.

Restorative Ropes Mini-Retreat with Ally Vinci
Sunday, September 13th, 1-3pm
Discover the transformative power of gentle and restorative yoga, all supported by the use of the Yoga Rope Wall.
We’ll begin with a series of gentle, active-restorative postures using the rope wall to explore a greater sense of spaciousness and support through the body, relieving tension and allowing for deeper awareness in the poses.
Then, we’ll transition into passive-restorative postures, giving you space to sink into deep relaxation with the support of bolsters, blankets, blocks, and the rope wall. Restorative yoga invites you to surrender deeply into each posture, facilitating release and rejuvenation on physical, mental, and subtle levels. Restorative yoga aids in balancing the central nervous system, strengthening immunity and reducing stress, among many other benefits.
By combining the grounding support of the rope wall with the nurturing embrace of restorative yoga, this ‘retreat’ inward will leave you feeling refreshed and replenished.
Space is limited. Advance registration required.

The Beauty of Ayurveda with Christine Dorocki
Saturday, September 26th, 12:15-1:45pm
Discover the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda, the sister science of yoga, and learn how to create more balance, energy, and vitality in your everyday life.
In this engaging and accessible workshop, you’ll explore the foundational principles of Ayurveda, including the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), the six tastes, daily routines, seasonal living, and simple practices that support digestion, sleep, immunity, and overall well-being.
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, Ayurveda teaches us how to understand our unique constitution and make choices that nourish body, mind, and spirit. You’ll leave with practical tools you can begin using immediately to feel more grounded, resilient, and connected to your natural state of health.
Perfect for beginners and anyone curious about holistic wellness, this workshop blends ancient wisdom with practical application to help you experience the beauty of living in harmony with nature.
