Chandra Om | Founder and Director of the North Carolina School of Yoga's Teacher Profile

Chandra OmChandra has spent most of her life in service to humanity, disseminating the ancient knowledge of how to achieve radiant health and spiritual development through the science of Yoga. She is the founder and director of the North Carolina School of Yoga, and the Senior teacher and Disciple of Sri Dharma Mittra. Chandra was born in Miami, and raised in New York, where she met her Guru and Teacher, Sri Dharma Mittra. After intense study, immersion and practice of the eight limbs of Yoga, she was accepted and initiated by Sri Dharma as Chandra Om (meaning ‘Moon’, ‘Luminous’, ‘Bright and Shining’), and remains with him to this day. Chandra was initiated into the family as a religious student who devotes herself to her teacher and the practice of spiritual disciplines—one who renounces the world in order to achieve liberation.

This is the greatest of blessings, to be accepted by the Guru and be fully charged with His aura and grace, showered in love, compassion, thoughts of renunciation, Self-realization, surrender to the Lord and fortitude. Realizing this spiritual knowledge can only be imparted psychically, mentally and mostly spiritually. She has been loyally teaching the Yamas and Niyamas through daily practice of Classical Yoga, and has always made herself available for students in need of help and direction. As a testament to her experience and knowledge her classes are continuously and predominately filled with Yoga teachers from all styles of Yoga. Known for her dedication, humor, love and kindness in teaching, every student who comes to her class is considered by her as “part of the family”. She diligently teaches the Yamas, the first step of Yoga, and in every class you will hear “without Yama, there is no Yoga”. She tirelessly promotes ahimsa (the first step of Yoga) through vegetarianism, a live diet, and kindness to all living beings especially our inferior brothers and sisters (the animal kingdom).
