BLACK LOTUS WORKSHOP

CHARLOTTESVILLE

November 3-7, 2025

Black Lotus Yoga is a new form of vinyasa yoga designed to be practiced in the Mysore style. With six smooth and adaptable sequences, the system gives you a brilliant structure in which to explore. In Black Lotus Yoga, you are encouraged to explore, by playing with the postures, blending the variations, and rediscovering the internal forms. The idea is to make a ritual of listening to the body, of moving the body around the breath, and of holding space for the creative sap to overflow. This is the evolution of modern yoga—a potent, playful and forgiving practice that gives tradition new life.

This workshop is a formal introduction to Black Lotus Yoga. Here you can learn how the system works, how to use it, how to improvise with it, and how to move forward through the sequences over time. We will look closely at the First and Second Series of the Black Lotus system, taking the postures one by one, showing how to work with their many variants, and exploring the patterns of breath and movement that bring them alive.

This workshop is for anyone who wants to learn Black Lotus Yoga, as well as for people who are already practicing the system and want more understanding. No experience with Black Lotus Yoga is necessary. All interested are absolutely welcome to join. The whole system is new, and we invite you to share in the excitement. There are no requisites to join this intensive, but an open heart and mind. Beyond that, all who want to learn are welcome.
