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!

Ayurvedic Baking Workshop with Angelina Carratie
Sunday, July 26th 4-6pm
Explore the wisdom of Ayurveda and how this ancient holistic science can be beautifully applied to baking. Ayurveda, often called the “sister science” of Yoga, is a natural system of healing that focuses on creating balance in the mind, body and spirit through nourishment, lifestyle, and consciousness.
Together, we’ll discuss modern baking practices and how they impact our health, simple ways to incorporate Ayurvedic principles into baking to support greater balance, and substitutions that can be made from specific everyday ingredients… all while still satisfying the soul’s sweetest cravings. We’ll discuss making staples such as almond milk and all the benefits dairy brings to our health.
The workshop will also include a live stovetop demonstration featuring a special pistachio fudge recipe that is not only nourishing but will satisfy your sweet tooth!
$40 advanced registration required.
Unlimited Members receive 10% off.
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.
