The Spirit of Modern Yoga

An interactive 2-hour evening lecture with Ty Landrum on 2 October 2026.

About the lecture

This lecture offers an evening of study, reflection, and lived yoga philosophy. Ty shares the teachings in a grounded and accessible way, showing how ancient wisdom can still serve as a meaningful framework for modern life. Rather than staying in the realm of theory, the talk invites curiosity about how yoga can bring clarity, orientation, and steadiness when life feels uncertain.

It is both a hopeful tribute to modern yoga and a playful celebration of somatic exploration. At its heart is the belief that, beneath the noise, glamour, and confusion, the modern yoga movement carries genuine spiritual depth. Through asana, pranayama, and meditation, we reconnect with the soul, rediscover a sense of wonder, and meet the disconnection of our time with something more nourishing and true.

Together, we will reflect on the nature of our spiritual needs and imagine fresh possibilities for what yoga can become.

The lecture can be attended on its own, and it also forms part of the Black Lotus Yoga weekend intensive. Everyone with an interest is welcome.

What to expect

This is an intimate gathering at De Roos, designed to create space for listening, reflection, and questions throughout the evening. Ty presents yoga philosophy with passion and clarity, while encouraging interaction and dialogue. You can expect to leave feeling inspired, with a renewed sense of connection and direction.

Optional Intensive: Black Lotus Yoga

3-4 October 2026

This weekend immersion offers an embodied introduction to Black Lotus Yoga, exploring philosophy through movement rather than theory. Through attentive physical practice, you will be guided into an experience of how breath, structure, and subtle techniques can support a deeper sense of embodiment.

The intensive can be booked separately, or combined with the philosophy lecture if you would like to engage with the teachings of Black Lotus Yoga through both practice and shared reflection.

The Teacher

Ty Landrum

Ty Landrum is a poet, philosopher, somatic explorer, and apprentice to the body. His path in yoga was shaped by pain and heartache, loss and confusion, old books and lost tapes, full moons, long periods of silence, cold winds, simplicity, forgiveness, surrender, and the caring words of a few good friends.

Known for his deep engagement with traditional yogic ideas, Ty has a rare gift for bringing yoga philosophy to life not only through words, but through the breathing body itself. His wish as a teacher is to share the brilliance of yoga with anyone who wants to learn.

Global Flow x Ty

Ty Landrum is returning to Amsterdam, and he is warmly welcomed back at Global Flow. He was first met during a free online yoga event in the Covid period, and his depth of knowledge, together with the way he truly embodies his practice, left a lasting impression.

Ty brings dedication, lived understanding, and humility to his teaching. Through Black Lotus Yoga, his own method rooted in Ashtanga yoga, he weaves years of study and personal practice into an approach that feels both grounded and accessible. We are delighted to host him again and to offer you the chance to broaden and deepen your practice through his teachings.
