Friday Night Live: Jivamukti Vinyasa & Sound Bath
A guided Jivamukti vinyasa yoga class that seamlessly transitions into a live-music meditative and healing sound bath.
Expect a well-rounded flowing practice designed to make you move and sweat as well as encourage curiosity and spiritual activation that flows gently into a long-form sound bath using sound healing instruments including antique singing bowls from the Himalayas imbued with healing mantras. The frequency of the bowls create vibrational sound harmonics that impact the sympathetic nervous system by engaging the relaxation reflex, (and disrupting the pain reflex) creating an overall deep sense of well being, meditation and relaxation.

New Moon Community Kundalini with Ashley
Kundalini Yoga is the yoga of awareness and transformation. It’s a complete practice that weaves together movement, breath, mantra, meditation and deep relaxation.
Each class is designed to balance the chakras, shift energy and guide you toward inner stillness. Classical Kundalini focuses on grounding the mind and body before inviting energy to move through the chakras.
At its core, this practice is an act of devotion, a way of honoring the universal energy that flows through each of us. All are welcome, and no experience is needed. Bring only curiosity and an open heart.
All are welcome, as modifications are offered. No experience is necessary.

Summer Solstice Cacao Ceremony, Sound and Voice Circle : An Evening of Embodiment, Expression & Presence
with Tori & Nazneen
At the dawn of the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, we invite you into a circle of opening. Cacao has been used for centuries as a heart medicine. It is a gentle, grounding plant that softens the walls we build around ourselves and invites us back into feeling. In this gathering, we'll let her do her quiet work: loosening the grip, warming the chest, and making room for what wants to be honest, what wants to be expressed, what wants to emerge from within. There's something about this turn in the season that stirs things loose. This circle is designed to meet that energy. Through movement, breath, shared reflection, and the living instrument of your own voice, we'll move together through an intimate 2 hour gathering held in community. No performance, no agenda, just an honest hour with your own inner landscape. Come as you are. Leave a little more open.
Tori is an interdisciplinary artist, wellness practitioner, and contemplative researcher weaving Eastern spiritual traditions, depth psychology, and the arts into transformative healing environments. Through movement, breath, and the resonance of the human voice, she guides journeys of self-inquiry and reconnection — inviting each participant to experience the body as a sacred vessel and the voice as a luminous instrument of awakening.
Nazneen is a yoga teacher, and forever student, with over a decade of experience building community resilience programs globally. Nazneen offers a practice rooted in awareness, compassion, and presence, drawing on the connection between mind, body, and spirit to create freedom within and nourish an internal source of resilience. She invites practitioners to move with both softness and strength, one breath at a time, allowing the ego to rest, free from judgement.

Awaken & Restore: Kundalini Yoga & Sound Bath
Create the time and space to quiet the mind and release the resistance you're holding in Return to Center. Join Yael for a candle lit kundalini yoga sequence followed by a restorative sound bath experience designed to soothe your nervous system and restore balance to your body and spirit.
We will move through a self-connecting short yoga practice to clear spaciousness within our body and mind. Using the cleansing power of the breath and mindful movement, these accessible techniques support the release of stored tension, boost energy, and guide you back to your center without force or overwhelm. From there, melt into deep rest during a healing sound bath serenade, featuring the chau gong, crystal bowls and chimes. Allow the vibrations of the sound to wash over you, dissolving mental and emotional heaviness while inviting profound relaxation. The sound works on a cellular level, helping the body shift into a meditative state where healing, integration, and renewal can unfold naturally.
No prior experience is needed— come as you are, with an open heart and a willingness to let go.
✨ Awaken your essence. Restore your connection to yourself.✨

Sacred Seasons - 20 Hour Super Sequencing Advanced Training
Reignite your passion for practice and breathe new life into your teaching! In this jam packed 20 Hour 3 Day Weekend at Lotusland Yoga SF, you will learn to practice and teach Yoga in harmony with the cycles of nature by weaving the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, the sister art & science of Life to align our lives with the rhythm of the divine. Through this unique Lotus Flow asana sequencing intensive with Lotus Flow legends, the dynamic duo- Jasmine Tarkeshi and Kate Duyn, you will dive into an in-depth exploration of Ayurveda’s basic theory of moving in harmony with the rhythms of the universe - the dance of creation, preservation and destruction. Transform your Yoga practice into a sacred ritual as you adapt your teaching and practice to sequence for the seasons and the rhythms of daily life with the planets, sun and moon, towards life of harmony that leads bliss and balance. Through the lens of Ayurveda, the science of life, we will explore movement, mantra, mudra and meditation as mystic medicine and create sacred recipes in your classes to experience unity within and our world to better benefit others. This training is open to all yoga practitioners with a 200 Hour Teacher Training Certificate from any school or other movement modalities wanting to inspire and enrich their offerings.
The word “Ayurveda” is derived from two words in Sanskrit, “ayuh” meaning “life” or “longevity” and “veda” meaning “science” or “sacred knowledge.” Ayurveda's definition can translate as “the sacred knowledge of life.” During such terrifying times where politics are destroying our planet, turning towards ancient healing rituals are the healing salves we need to empower ourselves and to share with our families and communities.The Sanskrit word for health, svastha, is a state in which the mind, soul, and senses interact harmoniously to experience a feeling of Self, wellness, and even bliss. Achieving this may seem like a hard to reach goal, but Ayurveda provides a treasure chest of elegant and insightful tools to help us get there. At its root, Ayurveda is an ancient holistic tradition born in India 5000 years ago, and way of living that can help each of us to claim and celebrate our capacity for wellness.You will learn to adapt your daily practice to the gifts of the seasons, the planet of the day, times of the day as recipes to dance with the doshas to incorporate into your life and guide others towards more ease.

Sanskrit 101: The Language of Yoga
Sanskrit is the language of Yoga's foundational texts, mantras (incantations/magical formulas), and āsana names, precisely expressing the esoteric concepts of Yoga practice.
In this workshop you will learn the sounds of each letter, become familiar with Devanāgarī (the written alphabet), and chant common mantras with confidence and precision, exploring both vibration and meaning. For the serious yoga student, yoga teachers, and the merely curious, this workshop will stoke the fires of learning, and help participants establish a personal Sanskrit practice. By the end, you will be able to read basic Sanskrit words.
Amanda studies Sanskrit with her teacher Kiranavali Devi, at the Yoga Society of San Francisco Śrī Brahmananda Ashram. She is an advanced certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher, teaching since 2000 in both New York City and at San Francisco's beloved Lotusland studio.
