Vertical Time yoga is a group of studies and practices for cultivating a connection to spirit (drala) and to earth (manifestation), for deriving strength from the past (our life experience and ancestral lineages) and for openheartedly meeting the future ("vacant" but with pure creative potential).

Primordial means "at or existing from the beginning of time" or "basic and fundamental." Each of us has an innate or primordial alignment which potentially animates the well-being of our body and state of mind as well as our direction or purpose in life. The Sanscrit meaning of Yoga is union or "to join" - in this case, to join with with vertical time, moments of awareness, epiphany and freedom.

These studies have emerged from my thirty-seven year involvement with the Buddhist and Shambhala lineages transmitted by Chögyam Trungpa, as well as the modernist tradition of the arts, the I Ching and the Human Design system, among others.
