MIND FLOW YOGA

A 10-week, 75-hour Journey to Embody Wonder and the Sublime

TESTIMONIAL

Raphael swiftly combines

Mindfulness, Meditation, and Yoga Asanas

and carves a path

taking you slowly to a trance-like meditative state,

connecting you to somewhat strangers in the room

with vibrant energy and positive ambiance

as you experience

fluid, gentle, strengthening bodily movements

that allow you structured freedom

to explore your range of motion and creativity.

- Mairi, Yoga Teacher, New York, USA

ABOUT

MIND FLOW YOGA is an exploration of Being.

it synthesizes ancient insightful concepts with contemporary ideas and practices in a seamless flow, to experience Wonder and the Sublime

This FLOW is a creative existential practice. It is a system of that integrates

• Yogic Practices: Body Posture (Asana), Breath Work (Pranayama), and Meditation (Samadhi)

• Philosophy and practice of South Asian Dance rooted in The Natya Shastra, the first treatise on art and dance as a existential practice

• Playful improvisation that is scientifically evidenced to increase cognition, imagination and creativity

• The force of the natural world where we are moved and danced by the flows of wind and water.

In MIND FLOW YOGA our movement and dance is a sculpting of space and time. Here one finds stillness in movement and movement in stillness

The FLOW, supported by existential study, invites you to then experience Wonder and the Sublime in daily life moments; and an exploration of embodying this Wonder as your essential quality of Being.

WHAT SETS MIND FLOW YOGA APART

This program embraces both practice and theory, blending history, philosophy, art and science into a holistic and non-dogmatic approach.

It is based on over 55 years of practical and theoretical research including my doctoral thesis:

Toward a Deep Ecology of Art, Technology and Being

MIND FLOW YOGA’’s approach emphasizes the importance of personal exploration and the fluid nature of understanding.  By framing foundational concepts as tools rather than absolute truths, the program encourages a flexible and individualized approach.

It acknowledges the impermanence and complexity of the world, suggesting that individuals benefit more from cultivating their own inner guidance—an anchor for stability and a compass for direction—than from adhering strictly to external or fixed systems of belief. This approach fosters adaptability, self-awareness, and personal growth.

MIND FLOW YOGA encourages:

• Personal exploration of meaningful, ethical living in a chaotic world

• Insights into Yogic and dance philosophy, Zen art, Sufi rituals, and more

• Practical tools to enhance creativity, movement, mindfulness, and well-being

TESTIMONIAL

A Journey of Transformation

I had a magic experience in Raphael’s class…

At first, I was reluctant to move,

but as I connected breath with movement,

my body felt energized,

my skin vibrated,

and my mind entered bliss
