We are so excited to bring you world renowned yoga teacher, Michael Stewart, visiting us all the way from Germany!​

​​

Michael brings over 35 years of teaching experience and is the creator of Shanta Vira Yoga, a complete yoga system that blends movement, breath, meditation, mantra, and subtle practices into one deeply embodied experience.

​

This weekend immersion is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with your body and breath, and explore yoga as a living, breathing practice, not just something you “do,” but something you feel and live.

​

Whether you are newer to yoga or have been practicing for many years, this is a beautiful opportunity to deepen your awareness, strengthen your connection to yourself and the poses, and experience yoga beyond what we are able to explore in a regular group class.

 

Michael has studied a wide range of yoga traditions including Jivamukti Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, and Tantra Hatha Yoga, and has spent time in India deepening his studies with respected teachers and lineages.

​

Drawing from decades of lived experience, Michael offers yoga in a way that is grounded, accessible, and deeply transformational, guiding students into a practice that is both powerful and gentle, structured and intuitive.

​

All workshops are open to all levels. You do not need to be flexible, advanced, or experienced in breathwork, mantra, or meditation to participate. Each session will be guided in a way that is supportive, inclusive, and adaptable to your body and your experience level. That doesn't mean there won't be challenges but modifications will be a available.

​

To learn more about Michael himself and Shanta Vira Yoga you can visit www.shantavirayoga.org.

​

You are welcome to attend any single workshop, or join us for the full weekend immersion.

While each session stands on its own, we do encourage students to attend multiple workshops if possible, as the practices build upon one another and create a deeper, more integrated experience.
