“What is the key
To untie the knot of the mind’s suffering?
Benevolent thought, sound
And movement.”
—Hafiz Laughing Lotus Yoga cofounders Dana Flynn and Jasmine Tarkeshi help us inspire our yoga practice through the heart-awakening, soul-shaking, mind-blowing poetry of the great mystics and yogis, and ignite our own soul’s longing to merge with the infinite. We learn mantras to serenade our deepest self and mudras to express our many divine moods. Our yoga postures become prose as we weave them together through the ecstatic rhythm of our breath. Together, we become passionate poets through the sacred language of vinyasa, liberating our spirit, healing our body, and quieting our mind. Anyone at any level of yoga experience is welcome.
