Platform & Content

  • Welcome — we’re so glad you’re here. Black Lotus Yoga is a progressive, breath-centered system designed to support long-term evolution in practice.

    There are six sequences (series), each with three “shades” or variants: white (most accessible), gray (more challenging), and black (most demanding). If you're just beginning, we suggest starting with the Foundations sequence which the most concise and accessible sequence in the system. From there you might move onto the white variant of the First Series. But don’t hesitate to explore the gray and black variants, too — you might find that elements of these more complex forms are already within reach. In this system, we begin at the juncture between what is accessible and what is your edge.

    Practice is intended six days per week. The idea is to move through each of the sequences available to you at least once over the course of the week — progressing upward through the series, then returning to First Series by week’s end. Each sequence has its own energetic tone and is meant to be practiced as a complete form. Unlike systems where postures are added gradually to one long sequence, Black Lotus offers each practice whole — inviting you into its full energetic signature every time you step on the mat.

    You can learn more about the Black Lotus system here.

    And if questions arise, please visit our internal community forum, where you can ask questions about the practice and connect with other practitioners.

  • You can find PDFs of the practice sheets on the individual curriculum videos on studio.blacklotusyoga.com.

    You can also download the full curriculum practice sheets here.

  • Black Lotus Yoga emerged from Ty’s deep immersion in Ashtanga Vinyasa. Ashtanga instilled in him the foundations of breath-based vinyasa and awakened the somatic intelligence that later expressed itself through Black Lotus.

    The two practices are compatible in rhythm, cadence, and energetic tone, and many students practice them side by side. You can think of them as sisters—born of the same source, kindred in spirit, but distinct in expression.

    Some students thrive in traditional Ashtanga, others resonate more with Black Lotus, and many enjoy a blend of both. Black Lotus is not meant to replace or improve upon Ashtanga, but to offer another way of touching the same deep wisdom through breath and movement.
