Practices and Storytelling to take us From Darkness to Light!
Get ready to deepen, inspire, uplift and transform your yoga practice, teaching and life!
Through their decades of dedicated study, practice and teaching, Kate and Jasmine, Lotus Flow legends, will lead you on a powerful, practical and creative journey of deep, devotional and joyful practice, yogic study and self discovery to uplift and heal and become leavening agents in our world. This exciting training will bring to life Yoga's rich teachings through the lens of mythology and storytelling and embodying the wisdom through the chakras, mantras and mudras (spiritual hand gestures that tell stories through sacred sign language of the hands).
Inspired by the symbol of the lotus flower emerging from the mud and the infinite spiritual Yogic myths and stories of the powers light overcoming darkness, this intensive will be a rich and soulful exploration through the chakras (energy centers in the body) and the awakening of super powers that exist within us to move from darkness to light.
Perfect for yoga teachers looking for inspiration and wanting to share a transformative practice with their students
or for yogis who want to experience more depth, joy, and freedom through their practice of yoga.
Through self inquiry (svadyaya) we will write our own his/her-stories and personalize Ganesha's origin story, Laksmi being churned from the ocean of milk, Hanuman's legendary leap and many more to teach authentically and honor Yoga's roots with love and respect. By awakening the qualities of our roots, creativity, courage, compassion, honest expression, intuition and liberation we will study, practice and teach yoga as the art of living mindfully and soulfully even in midst of suffering by integrating mind, body, spirit and action to help us live more fully and in harmony with ourselves with our lives and our world.

"This was an incredibly transformative weekend-long training. The deeper I get into my yoga practice, the more interested I've become in better understanding and sharing its roots, and these 20 hours were more than I could ask for as part of that journey. Studying with Jasmine and Kate is such a gift on all levels, but learning from and engaging with them in this intimate training was truly something special. There's real magic in these myths, and these two brilliant teachers bring them to life so viscerally through movement (we MOVED!) and in "lecture" and discussion. The material was presented in a way that puts you in the stories, asking us to reflect on how universally human they are, and how they transcend time. It also brought up fascinating conversations in a safe space for sharing with amazing fellow trainees and provided helpful tips on how to design more inspired classes. Bringing those elements into my personal practice and in class design has been truly meaningful - the power of the mudra is real!"
