Yoga Darshana

Imagine transforming your entire relationship to your body—not through force or ambition, but through the precise, patient art of alignment. Yoga Darshana is a seven-day immersive workshop that invites you to explore Iyengar Yoga as both a refined physical practice and a profound philosophical system for living with wisdom and presence. Led by Kofi Busia, a revered teacher with five decades of devoted practice and study in the Iyengar tradition, this workshop at Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY (August 9–15, 2026) offers a rare opportunity to go deep—to understand not just how to do a pose, but why precision matters, and how alignment itself becomes a gateway to insight.

This is not a beginner's class. Rather, it is an invitation for yoga teachers, fitness instructors, helping professionals, and serious practitioners who have already established a foundation in Iyengar Yoga and are ready to refine their understanding at the deepest level. Through postural work (asanas), breath practices (pranayama), and focused mental cultivation, you will engage both the practical and esoteric dimensions of yoga—discovering how proper muscular engagement and anatomical awareness can shift your body, your mind, and your experience of being alive.

Kofi Busia brings meticulous attention to each student's unique body. His corrections are offered with care and specificity, helping you recognize your body's true capacities and honest limitations—a gift that transforms how you practice and how you live.

What to Expect

Over seven days, you will move through a carefully sequenced exploration of asanas and pranayama, each session building upon the last. The atmosphere is focused and contemplative, balancing precision with compassion. Expect detailed verbal cues, hands-on adjustments tailored to your individual structure, and time for integration and reflection. You will leave with a deeper understanding of alignment principles, a more refined personal practice, and practical tools to bring this wisdom into your daily life—whether you teach others or practice for your own ongoing evolution.
