Into the Depths
an immersion like no other
begins sept 9, 2023
a note from your guide...
I am thrilled to announce the third iteration of Into the Depths, my extended immersion into the yogic process of reflection. This program continues to exceed my expectations. The level of engagement, the devotion of the community, the scope of transformation among the participants, all of this has been astonishing.
A sure sign of the success of the program is the volume of students who continue to enroll for a second or third consecutive year. There is a contagious passion here for exploring the wilderness of the soul, together with the loving support of our community. And like the experience of yoga, each pass is unprecedented, refreshing and new.
I want to emphasize that this is not an academic course. The aim is not to delineate all the diverse schools and lineages of yoga, much less to defend any particular ideological strain. Instead, we are interested in how diverse yogic myths (especially those of Siva and Sakti), yogic traditions (classical and tantric) and authors (old and new) can help us in elaborating a yoga that speaks to our hearts.
There are no requisites here, no exams, no accreditations, but something finer and more profound—an invitation to dive deep into the inner tradition of yoga with an amazing community of sincere seekers from around the world, who are ready to embrace the confusion, the heartache, and also the sublime wonder of being alive. If this pulls on the strings of your heart, you are absolutely welcome to join.
Over the last couple of months, I gave a series of three philosophical talks designed to prime you for the course, and answer any questions that you might have about its content and purpose. The recorded talks may be found towards the bottom of this page, labeled "The Myth of Kundalini". Enjoy.
warmly,
Ty
Meet Your Guide
Ty Landrum learned yoga from pain and heartache, loss and confusion, old books, lost tapes, full moons, long bouts of silence, cold winds, simplicity, forgiveness, surrender, and the caring words of a few good friends.
He draws inspiration from children, saffron, sage, carob, almonds, chocolate, wise women, gnarled old men, olive trees, deep rivers, steep mountains, quaking aspen, honeybees, love songs, sunrises, laughter and deep breath.
Ty has an unwavering love for this unique somatic discipline, which he began practicing back in 2005. With a formal background in philosophy (PhD University of Virginia), Ty has an unusual power for illuminating the dynamics of yoga with color and creativity.
Ty shares his love of yoga in studios and retreat centers around the world. He lives with his wife, Shayan, and their two wild children.
