“DHARMI has truly been a life altering experience for me. I was guided to change my thought process and as a result, I had an emotional release that instantly healed crippling physical pain I had been experiencing for over two years. I’ve learned from the DHARMI teachings to release my fears and was able to tap into my creative side that I had not explored since I was very young. I feel the DHARMI teachings have taught me to peel back layers of my consciousness that were blocking my true potential, and because of this I feel truly blessed.”

“Throughout the course of a powerful, thoughtful and healing two-day Dharmi session, Christelle was able to guide me through the process of completely reconnecting with my inner self and identifying who I really am at my core.
This intricate dance involved moving into a space that allows me to feel much more open, light and at peace.
I am now truly connected to myself and empowered to connect both internally and externally from a meaningful and uninhibited place.
The difference this has made in my life and the lives of my children, husband, friends and co-workers is dramatic and tangible as our relationships have become much deeper, richer and that much more real.
Christelle takes great care in guiding her students through the entire Dharmi process to ensure that we return to our lives with the tools needed to manifest the changes made through this process.
For me, it has been the most impactful form of introspective work I have ever done and I am so grateful for this powerfully deep and wonderful transformation.”

About five months ago I began the DHARMI program and with excellent guidance and introduction to visualization, meditation and mudras I have been able to work at conquering my fears, both in and out of the water.
The program has helped awaken my inner strength and self-confidence and affirm my determinations more clearly. It is teaching me to become stronger both spiritually and physically and to attain a sense of connection to the inner self and the outer world.
I feel blessed to have accomplished this much until today and I am looking forward to continue my journey of learning and practicing the steps of the DHARMI dance.
Many thanks,

“DHARMI has been part of my spiritual practice for about seven years now. As a person who is constantly eager to learn and grow, I have tried many different techniques and practices. DHARMI is completely unique-of course because that is its essence!
DHARMI is a way for me to develop and reveal myself to myself that always results in me feeling positive, engaged, and excited about the opportunities of life and how I choose to experience life’s opportunities.
As well DHARMI has opened up a connection to my animal guides in particular, the strong graceful giraffe reaching for the tops of trees laughing as the leaves tickle her nose.
I feel deep gratitude for this practice and many times blessed to receive and share the pure insight and wisdom from the heart of Christelle.”

“I joined the Dharmi Dance with the simple aim of healing a problem I had with my hips (*) for the previous few months….. I knew nothing of The Dharmi. I just knew that I was struggling physically and needed help!
Just over a year later I look at how my life has changed how my dance has taught me to honor myself, how delving into the masks has opened up aspects in me I never thought existed…
I now feel like I have a direction, that I am in line with my Dharma. I always wondered why that in my current job things didn’t come naturally to me… I have finally discovered what does comes naturally and am shifting my life in that direction!
This year I became a Dharmi mentor, guiding others on their dance! I realized, while in Costa Rica on my training, that this guidance, while I am honoring my dance, does come naturally. That through my connection I am able to guide others in their steps… It invigorates me and fulfills me to help and teach others! I am also halfway through my first yoga teacher training!!
On my second Dharmi training in Costa Rica, Behind the Masks, I, without any previous intention, connected to my birth name Rowanna, a name I had rejected since before I can remember insisting I wanted to be called Anna!! I never wanted to be different, individual… I just wanted to be plain, simple Anna….
Through my dance I now love the individuality, the femininity that Rowanna invokes and now to the delight of my family have returned to using it!!!
I can only thank Christelle and Dharmi for all the possibilities it has opened my eyes and my heart too!!!
Life is forever changing and I am ecstatic to see how my dance is bringing me into the future in these exciting but challenging times !!!

(*) Through the DHARMI Dance, the dancers explore the emotional memories and intelligence memories, some believes related to themselves and their reality, that cam limit the flow of energy in their physical body. As all is connected in a holistic way. Through the release of energy, it allows the manifestion in the physical and material world, of their divine purpose.The healing is aligned with the process of opening to their path, engaging in their life’s purpose and freeing their process of evolution.
A physical symptom can open awareness into a holistic meaning, and spiritual connection.

“As a dancer with Christelle’s guidance, I can attest to the overall feeling of wellness and empowerment fostered by practicing the theories of DHARMI. Truly, after having attended several sessions conducted by Christelle, I can understand why these ancient cultural techniques have endured the test of time.
Employing the skills I learned, I feel I have become better at my trade. I now exude utmost confidence when I perform my craft and I captivate the audience’s attention more completely. I have become more creative with my tricks and most importantly I believe in what I do.
In sum, I highly recommend learning about this culturally unique art form and practicing it to anyone who dares to dream. I predict an upcoming renaissance of these empowerment techniques which will be brought on through Christelle’s ingenious vision and appreciation of past cultures together with the present reality.”

“I initially met Christelle Chopard attending one of her Restorative Yin Yoga Classes at Browns & Co. located in Miami Beach.
Her confidence, knowledge, professionalism and detailed attention to each movement in class drew my immediate respect for her practice. At the same time I was going through some personal changes and I attended one of the the DHARMI workshops which drew my attention even closer to a more individualized program through the The DHARMI Practice. I am a now a DHARMI Dancer and Christelle’s insightful help and consistent care has helped me and continues to bring harmony and peace in my life’s Journey. Christelle’s integrity, dependablity, good judgment and mature outlook ensure a logical, practical and healing approach to life.
“”Christelle: I would like to thank you so much for the time we spent at a Dharmi consulting. While I was walking to you today I felt so much heaviness on my shoulders and my posture was almost crunching. After meeting with you I left feeling a huge burden taken off me, my shoulders felt light and I was walking with my head up 
Amazing!”"
I am happy to give her my wholehearted endorsement and I would recommend The DHARMI Practice to anybody that wishes to improve and build a harmonious, peaceful and healthy life style.”

“I’ve been practicing the philosophy DHARMI, and have had positive results from it. I’ve focused on being aware at the same instant my problem/argument would typically occur (in the car). And by focusing my mind on something else (the sunset, the birds, looking out the window) I can avoid a reaction/argument which has the possibility of ruining our day and bringing negative energy between us two. Now, we found more harmony in our communication, even when we have to drive together during the day.”

“Dear Christelle,
It was a lovely workshop today. I am delighted to potentially have broken through a negativity “feeling that my creativity and positivity is stifled.” I am looking forward to practicing my new found affirmation, “I offer creativity and positivity. Thank You!”

The day after spiritual healing:
Dear Christelle: You have worked your magic – I’m 80% healed and wanted to reach out to thank you. I have refrained from taking any further Aleves or Tylenols, as I thought it might interfere in the wellness process – and believe I’ll be totally fine by mid-end week. You are a gift from the gods. Namaste.

“When DHARMI came across my life path, I was in the process to discover who I really am.
DHARMI has been “the tool” that help me see and connect with my real self, to bring love and light into my life.
Thanks to DHARMI I have become a happy successful dancer today!
And because life is a dance, I have learned to follow its rhythm as I follow the music when I danced!
The technique in the DHARMI Practice is clear, simple and effective!
Let’s all dance harmoniously together.”
