RY 4 Kundalini Detox: Unraveling the Conditioned Self
To become open, we must break down our habitual self. We will employ two hour sessions, ‘round the clock, of yogic practices, creative time, detox diet/hydrotherapy/seva, rest and philosophy study to break the hold of night and day cycles and unproductive patterns, and to let go of control in order for real experience to guide us home.
RY 5 Karma Yoga: Angelic Realms & Worlds of Light
To enter the spiritual path, we must establish the witness of the mind and stabilize our consciousness in the space between the polarities of the mind. Here, the wisdom light shines through, and our ordinary tasks and creative work are the context for dissolving the false “I” and experiencing enlightenment, moment to moment.
RY 6 Tantra Path: Embracing Life & Increasing Concentration
In order to embrace and digest life as a whole experience, we must utilize the physical & subtle systems and harmonize the ordinary & extraordinary planes of existence. We must develop the discipline to resist being run by our preferences and aversions and to stabilize in both/and mind. We must understand how to have real relationships and how to manufacture more energy out of whatever comes to us. We must bring our sexual energy, our core energy, into full consciousness.
All Courses
RY 1 Foundation: Organic Rhythms
We are going to ask ourselves, “What is normal? How is life supposed to be?” Learn to shed your psychic weight, allowing micro-adjustments to fuel your path to liberation. We will introduce the three treasures of Rudra Yoga, which show us how to build and maintain a creative environment (Creation Principle), how to follow in all activity the harmonious sound (Golden Formula), and clarify the purpose of our basic human energy (Magdalena Way).
RY 2 Hatha Yoga I: Physical System & Developing Breath
We will develop awareness of skeletal alignment, moving function and breathing function. The synchronicity of body movement with breath and mental focus creates a proper container to store energy needed for expanding awareness. Ordinary activities of a human, such as eating, sleeping, working, playing and sex are performed with awareness to create and build energy.
RY 3 Kundalini Yoga: Subtle System & Developing Will
We will use exercises and teachings which combine mental focus, movements, dynamic breathing and sound to introduce the subtle system by direct experience, and to detoxify and strengthen the nervous system and all physiological systems. We must learn to make the unconscious conscious and choose supportive habits in our intention to become whole and connected to an unlimited source of energy.

RY 7 Tao Yoga: Internal Martial Arts & Stilling the Mind
We will learn to become sensitive to the teachings of nature, to still the mind and to meditate in all activities by practicing a movement series that awakens our energy pathways, heals the major organ groups through vital breaths and sounds, opens the heart and navel cavities and turns on our light body which is not bound by form. Through practices which activate our electromagnetic field, we will develop an internal defense system by which we can transmute negative energies that potentially deter our development.
RY 8 Hatha Yoga II: Discipleship & Stoking the Transformational Fire
We will explore what is required for liberation and learn to raise our digestive fire. At this stage, we must understand how to make our own the discipline of those who have come before and realized what we passionately seek. Discipleship is the means to obtain that discipline. Discipline gives us a single focus in raising our conscious-ness, results in a genuine experience with what we have learned, and makes the best use of our teacher’s guidance.
RY 9 Rudra Meditation: Complete Your Karma Transmission of Enlightened States
Our karma is finite, and we can complete our karma through the process of gathering and digesting our negative patterns that manifest inwardly and outwardly. These negative patterns are trapped energies which become spiritual fuel when digested. With our energy free, we then relax into a subtle communication with the masters of yoga and receive the direct transmission of knowledge and enlightened states.
RY 10 Sufi Way: The Heart of the Beloved
The great path of love is traveled by those who recognize that the many peoples of the world express in their own unique ways one source, one path and one goal. We stir the heart and stoke the fire of longing through ecstatic practice, songs, poetry and teachings of the heart. Dancing opens the heart and magnetizes our feet, the walks call down the divine qualities and states, spinning centers us in the real and true reality, remembrance lifts us to the beloved, and purification by fire puts it all together in one ecstatic celebration of divine being.
RY 11 Tibetan Yoga: Developing Wisdom & Skillful Means
We will learn to direct energy up the central channel to stabilize meditation as a natural state. Deity practices assist us in unveiling our compassionate, skillful and limitless being. The teachings show us that the objective world is fluid rather than. Solid, and karma is a choice from which we can be released by a turn of the mind.
RY 12 Shamanic Intro: Stabilizing the Natural State of Mind
Relating sensitively to the 5 elements, the 5 flows of energy and the unseen nature beings gives us great support and a healthy environment in which to stabilize our naturally clear, meditative state of mind. We will focus on acquiring full consciousness in the waking state.
RY 13 Shamanic Ngondro: Clarifying Pure Intention to Practice
We have studied our condition and chosen awareness over the dream, and now we purify our intention to practice. We dedicate our efforts to the ultimate freedom of all beings, open deeply to those who guide and support us with their stabilized awareness, and we walk in the master’s footsteps. We become the deity of the natural mind- empty, vital, potent!
RY 14 Shamanic Dream Yoga: Consciousness in Dreaming
We will extend our practice of awareness in the waking state to our dream state. In our dream state, we learn to apply practice to clarify ourselves and situations, just as we have learned in our waking state. Once lucidity develops, we play and develop magical qualities. In our waking state, we apply the fluidity and changeability of our dreams, so that we are always operating from our limitless creativity through all situations and experiences.
RY 15 Shamanic Sleep Yoga: Consciousness in Deep Sleep
To attain the deathless state, we must die before death and surrender our point of view entirely to the sound of Truth. We must learn to send our consciousness out of the body and bring it back in with ease and naturalness to be able to maintain our attention and natural state through the great transitions. The cycle of life moves from the time between death and conception, through the time between conception and death and finally, when the great realization occurs, to the center!
RY 16 Shamanic Chod: Cutting the Body Identity
It is our attachment to this body and this physical reality which produces the fear of change and ultimately death. We experience limitations and fear because the omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, eternal and boundless nature of Pure Source is contradicted in a time-space-reality body and overtaken by the illusion of a separate self. When we cut through this illusion, we break free into the reality of our essential being, which hosts the five eternal powers.
RY 17 Shamanic Tummo: Burning Karmic Seeds
We will clear obstacles of the physical body and realm, from more gross to the most subtle in nature. In this purified state, we manifest a light body and work from that internal structure of channels and chakras to create purifying heat to burn the karmic seeds, so they cannot sprout and bear fruit in the future.
RY 18 Shamanic Dark Retreat: Developing Inner Vision
First we will learn the practices that correct our dull or anxious mind to prepare us to rest steadily in the space and light of our inner being. Then we will learn the particular practices that we will perform in isolation. Signs of attainment begin with the effortlessly still body, steady and pervasive energy, and the clear and spacious mind.
Once complete with the preparatory exercises and confidence is gained in the practices, each practitioner will go on a solitary, 1-3 day personal retreat (scheduled individually.) {Shamanic}
RY 19 Shamanic Phowa: Conscious Dying & Attaining the Deathless State
To attain the deathless state, we must die before death and surrender our point of view entirely to the sound of truth. We must learn to send our consciousness out of the body and bring it back in with ease and naturalness to be able to maintain our attention and natural state through the great transitions. The cycle of life moves from the time between death and conception, through the time between conception and death and finally, when the great realization occurs, to the center!
RY 20 & 0 New Being Way:
A new cycle of life begins. We bring perfection down to earth. We have grown ourselves and stabilized our state, so now we have the possibility to make the kind of world that every child knows is supposed to be. This is the culmination of yoga and the fruit of claiming a conscious life.
“Rudra refers to the digestive fire in the navel and the aspect of Lord Shiva that removes obstacles. Yoga means union. Rudra Yoga is the power to digest and get nourishment from every experience and live every moment in a unified state.”
