Taste of Black Lotus Yoga
An embodied journey through mythology, breath, movement, and philosophy.
This is the yoga of breathing down into our bodies and making space for creative powers to unfold from the depths of our being.
Not about transcending and escaping our human lives but turning towards the deepest darkest corners of our being with the light of awareness.
Black Lotus explores yoga as a contemplative relationship between Awareness/Consciousness and Prana (life force energy).
Beginning with the mythological origins of yoga, we trace how consciousness expresses itself through breath, body, and movement. The energetic principles of Prana & Apana - as the most crucial movement patterns of organic life and how these patterns manifest in our asana practice.
Through mythology, movement, pranayama, and chanting, this workshop offers a direct experience of the principles that penetrate deep into the heart of the yogic tradition.

Energetics of Yoga
Move beyond form. Practice from subtle awareness.
At some point, practise needs to evolve beyond where does my foot or arm go?
Into a complete, embodied awareness of asana.
From here, practice becomes a living dialogue with subtle forces that organise movement, breath, and inner tone. Through direct experience, we begin to sense how energy moves, where it gathers or disperses, and how balance is felt rather than imposed.
In this 2-hour workshop, we will explore Prana and Apana, two fundamental energetic movements described in yogic philosophy, and learn how to feel and work with them directly in our asana practise.
Rather than adding more technique, the focus is on developing a deeper layer of perception—learning to sense energetic lines in the body and allowing movement to be guided by this awareness.
The workshop will include:
A philosophical introduction to Prana & Apana and their role in yoga practice
Embodied explorations to feel these forces in the body
Applying this awareness to common asanas, including forward folds, backbends, twists, and inversions
Ways to integrate this understanding into your regular practice for greater clarity, balance, and intelligence of movement
This workshop is suitable for dedicated practitioners and teachers who want to deepen their understanding of yoga beyond form, and experience asana as a subtle, living process.
