THE METHOD
Six Sequences
Three Shades
Black Lotus Yoga has six sequences, arranged in order of difficulty, together with a Foundations sequence designed to ease you in. The numbered sequences all have three shades — white, gray and black. These are meant to be blended. By working with shades, you can scale the sequences up or down to adapt the practice to your needs.
White
Short and accessible. The white variant goes straight to the point. This is the way in.
Gray
Full and challenging. This is the practice entire, without excess.
Black
An amplification. Too much for most days, but there when you want to play.
Black Lotus Yoga is gentle on the body and sweet on the soul. Instead of focusing on linear progression, the system invites you to feel into whole sequences, appreciate how they unfold, and explore deeper variants of the postures only when you are inclined. This is not a practice for achievement, but for the contemplation of embodied experience. The practice is designed to be sustainable — so you can practice for a lifetime.
FOR WHOM?
A practice for anyone,
ready to explore.
seasoned practitioners
You have practiced for years and learned much along the way, but the structures that once served you now feel confining. You need room to explore, and renew your love of yoga.
inspired seekers
You know the world by experience. You want to break in, and taste the nectar of yoga. You seek an open door to a new world of embodied meditation.
evolving teachers
You earned a certification, but you sense that your training was just the beginning. You want more depth and structure in your teaching, and connection to a living tradition.
philosophical explorers
You find depth and inspiration in spiritual philosophy, but you get lost in the abstractions. You want to embody the wisdom. You seek a somatic practice to bring it alive.
If this resonates, our studio is for you.

THE TEACHER
Ty Landrum…
learned yoga from pain and heartache, loss and confusion, old books, lost tapes, full moons, long bouts of silence, cold winds, simplicity, forgiveness, surrender, and the caring words of a few good friends.
He draws inspiration from children, saffron, sage, carob, almonds, chocolate, wise women, gnarled old men, olive trees, deep rivers, steep mountains, quaking aspen, honeybees, love songs, sunrises, laughter and deep breath.

QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked
How does Black Lotus compare to Ashtanga?
Black Lotus grew out of Ashtanga, but it stands on its own — a sister practice, kindred in spirit, distinct in soul. The variant structure makes Black Lotus more accessible, and allows practitioners to take each sequence whole. The Black Lotus sequences are designed to be uplifting to the spirit, and gentler on the body over time, while providing enough depth to explore for a lifetime.
Is Black Lotus for beginners?
Yes. Black Lotus was designed to welcome new practitioners. The Foundations sequence was created specifically for beginners, and the white variant of the First Series is a short next step. The starting point is strong, to be sure, but consonant with the rest of the system. In Black Lotus Yoga, we like to play at the edge.
Is the trial really free?
Yes. The trial gives you seven days of full access to everything. Cancel before day 7 and you will not be charged a dime. After the trial, monthly is $30 or annual is $280. You can cancel anytime.
