Secrets of Sthiti Workshop with Raymond Lucas

Secrets of Sthiti is a workshoped designed by Raymond Lucas, an instructor who for the last 14 years has taught natural movement classes, yoga, pranayama, and chanting around the world. In this workshop each individual will develop breathwork, movement, and meditative practices suited to their unique constitution and path to phisical and spiritual health. For many, Sthiti means– to stay; the priority to maintain health rather than increase strength.

As opposed to the modern division of those who only do physical practices or meditative practices, the techniques Raymond teaches and practices revolve around Breath and Prana (life-giving force) flow, the central axis, and linking energy between body and mind. His classes focus on refined and prana-based Vinyasa & Sthiti (Asana) techniques; auditory, visual & kinesthetic tools to access your breath & prana; experiencing internal prana flow through activation of the Vayus; and self diagnosis of daily health through breath analysis.
