  • Next, dive into an hour visual presentation & talk on the evolution of Yoga, observe storytelling structures in Vedāntha, Patanjali, and a unique interpretation of their influence on the Rāmāyana – which is actually a Yoga story. Discover insights into Yogic Mind science, told through an engaging narrative, essential to prepare the Mind for the Age of AI.

• Preparation: 

  • Please come on a light stomach, and an open mind. 

  • Bring Yoga mat & towel, although mats can be borrowed for a fee.

  • Comfortable pants are a good idea, but flowing kurta tops could get in the way.

• Presenter: Yogarishi Srīnivās

Srīnivās is decolonizing modern Yoga through Yoga stories from its source culture. He was initiated into Yoga at age 8 in Delhi, and since 2014 has taught a unique style of Hatha Yoga to 100+ students in California, where he was also a well known Yoga storyteller in a leading commercial Yoga studio. He is also contemporizing Yoga for the coevolution of Human & Machine in the Age of AI, that we evolve to Rishi Sapiens, as storytellers on our journey to the stars we came from.
