about.
Philly D's dharma Hip Hop Yoga brings together mindfulness themes with positive hip hop music and interactive movement. It's part workshop, part class. His passion is to not only share yoga with participants, but help educate on the history & power of hip hop. All the music Philly D uses in class is uplifiting & strategic.
"It's yoga with a concious swagger."
Every class begins with an Inspirational Dharma Talk. This is where the program finds it's roots. For the Asana (physical practice) portion of class Philly D chooses hip hop music based on the message of the talk.
Example: If the Dharma Talk is around the them of "DUKKHA" (suffering/struggle), then he would choose songs around how we get in our own way, and how we can overcome struggle.
At the end of class there is a guided meditation, giving room for the effort & energy to settle & strengthen each participant.
