Program Details

Global yoga teacher and flow expert Shiva Rea joins master musicians and drummers Donna De Lory, Mayapuris, KDZ: The Kripalu Drummers, and John de Kadt; and special guests Chris Tompkins and Demetri Velisarius to create this “Living Flow Yoga Camp” for yoga practitioners and teachers. Discover the yoga, art, science, and living power of rhythm underlying the flow experience.

The retreat involves a rotation of “transformation stations,” which include

  • Sunrise meditation and mantra
  • Dynamic Prana Flow® classes with live Kirtan and drumming
  • The Vedic-tantric concept of kala and tala, time and rhythms (to create the cosmic rhythm) with Tantric philosopher Chris Tompkins
  • An outdoor “pranafication” session at the lake and forest to embody the power of nature (weather permitting)
  • An evolutionary vinyasa teachers’ lab for aspiring and experienced teachers
  • Special classes in Pranadandayoga with Demetri Velisarius
  • Wednesday night kirtan with Donna De Lory.

The magical vibration of live drumming brings you back into rhythmic balance and creates an environment of transformation. Learn a movement meditation and breath-flow practice that is centering, rejuvenating, creative, and stress-dissolving.
