Join us for a weekend introduction to Black Lotus Yoga: a breath-centered vinyasa system built on progressive sequences, internal alignment, and the interplay of opposing forces in the breath. Born from the same tradition as Ashtanga Vinyasa, Black Lotus is designed to be practiced independently or in a Mysore-style setting, and it beautifully complements whatever practice you already have. The system is built around six sequences, each with white, gray, and black variants that scale in intensity, so no matter where you are in your journey, there’s a way in. In this workshop, we’ll explore the philosophy and architecture behind the system together, and then bring those ideas onto the mat through a guided practice of the foundations and first series. This workshop is open to all students of the shala, at every level. Whether you’ve been practicing for years or are just finding your footing, you’re welcome here, come explore something new and see how it might deepen and enrich the practice you already love.

About Antigua
Antigua is a small city surrounded by volcanoes in southern Guatemala. The city’s cobbled 9×9 block streets are slow paced, easy-to-navigate with cafes, farm-to-table restaurants, artisan markets, and historical sites located throughout. It’s renowned for its colorful Spanish colonial buildings, this beautiful and magical city has almost five hundred years of history, with a privileged all-year-long climate. If you visit Guatemala during February and March for our training, you can expect warm, dry days, with little to no rainfall. Temperatures average in the high 70s during this time.
