Great practice Ty! You'e definitely addressed some of the shadows of the Ashtanga Vinyasa series in making the strength and openings way more accessible! For years now I've been practising, teaching and refining an eerily similar standing and backhanding sequence. This makes me think that having experienced a lot of Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga and observed the barriers to progress and frustrations in a diverse range of students leads to adapting certain powerful changes to the benefit of all who practice. I still managed to learn a lot from the squatting and sitting approach you taught here. Thanks for your generosity!
Starting the very first day of 2024 practicing BL with you in person, has been one of the most magical thing happened in my life. Thanks for sharing it also here. Blessings...
What a class 🤩. Starting my new year (2025) with this class and that was really satisfying. Thank you for sharing and happy and healthy new year to all. Namaste 🙏🏼🍀
Thank you for this wonderful preview. I'm really excited about this system and really curious to see how you manage progression with the different variations and between the series (i.e. is the progression white, gray, black in 1st into white 2nd or does the system intend to jump back and forth at certain positions and variations). The first series in black already looks challenging for beginners (I'm a little afraid of the black variation of sixth, in case this is even meant to be practiced), so I'm really excited about the things to come.
Indeed, this is the most advanced version of the First Series! The white and gray variants are more accessible. There is also a Foundations Series, which is more accessible still. All of these will be released soon, with the new website. To answer your question about the progression: You do not have to master the black variation of the First Series before exploring the Second Series. (The white variant of the Second Series is easier than the black variant of the First). If you have a good time with the gray variant of any series, then you will most likely have a good time with the white variant of the next series up. As for the black variant of the six series, it scares me too! LOL. Most practitioners will find some variant of the first two series challenging but approachable, and will be able to progress eventually into the white or gray variants of the third and fourth.
Hey Ty, that felt great, some of my favourite ways to play and vary those postures, it’s great to have a new form to be able to practice Mysore style, my private practice looks a lot like this but then sticking to the script in a Mysore room, can’t wait for face to face led classes and Mysore style rooms no doubt popping up around the place, happy holidays, thanks for the free intro 🙏🏼

Thanks for asking. Black Lotus Yoga is a new form of vinyasa yoga designed to be practiced in the Mysore style. The practice is based upon traditional Hatha principles. It works with the dynamic balance of prana and apana to invite the life energy to flow. There are six series in the system. The practice emerged from my own twenty-year study of Ashtanga Vinyasa. It came organically, and unexpectedly, and has become the focus of my daily practice and teaching. I am honored to share it with you.
The opening chant is the yuyam vayam mantra: yuyam vayam vayam yuyam ity asit matir āvayoh kim jatam adhuna yena yuyam yuyam vayam vayam “You were me and I was you Thus, once it was, that we were one But what has happened now by which You are you and I am I?”
Sing a Song 🙏 im Yoga sagt man, man singt auch einen Kirtan oder chanten … Also, man singt mantren (Mantra… Zum Beispiel wie Oooohhhhhmmmm und wiederholt sie immer)… also chant heißt singen… Auch reden wir davon, wenn wir Phrasen nur still im Kopf wiederholen… Das chatten ist Teil viele Kulturen und Religionen, etwa auch im südamerikanischen Schamanismus oder den indigene Australien im Sufismus oder in Yoga
Brilliant, thank you for a wonderful Series, Ty! Hugs from Horsham to all the family with wishes of peace on the inside and love towards all, Irina ❤

Thank you for sharing this practice
What’s the chant?
The opening chant is the yuyam vayam mantra:
yuyam vayam vayam yuyam
ity asit matir āvayoh
kim jatam adhuna yena
yuyam yuyam vayam vayam
“You were me and I was you
Thus, once it was, that we were one
But what has happened now by which
You are you and I am I?”
Sounds like light language.
