Dharma Richards

Dharma Richards, E-RYT, is founder, owner, and senior teacher of Yoga Garden in North Carolina, and director of Yoga Warriors International. Dharma incorporates a classical hatha-raja style of teaching that encourages organic movement and an open heart. Born and raised in Asheville, North Carolina, Dharma’s yogic journey began two decades ago, leading to multiple teacher trainings in the hatha, raja, and Kundalini traditions. Her first payment for teaching a class was an Asian pear freshly picked from a student’s fruit tree. Dharma’s certifications include Kundalini, Core Strength Vinyasa, prenatal, children’s, vinyasa, Yin, and restorative yoga.
