Way of the Phoenix
IN-PERSON with Sianna Sherman | London, UK | April 27-29, 2022
3-day Rasa Yoga Immersion into the Alchemy of Yoga
Calling all yoga teachers, deep practitioners, and community members
We are rebirthing ourselves in 2022. We have learned so much in these last two years. We are different. We are ready to create something new and be part of a force that honors both personal transformation and collective liberation.
The alchemy of yoga holds the essential understanding that a balanced yoga practice is both Fire and Nectar. The morning sessions are dedicated to Fire Sadhana and the afternoon sessions to Nectar Sadhana.
The heating aspect of the practice is called tapasya – “that which heats up” or agni – “fire” and the cooling aspect of the practice is called soma – “moonlight” or that which offers the nectar of the practice. Agni & Soma together offer balanced energy so the yogin both burns away the dross and receives nourishment through the practices.
Without fire in the practice, there is no transformation. Without coolness in the practice, then the yogin can burn out. Fire and Nectar are the complementary opposites and the yogin cultivates both in practice and life.

✔Learn powerful sequences that embody the Alchemy of Yoga
