catherina Ludwig Yoga, Movement & Dance

RAFA CHAMAN

The Dao of Yoga Masterclass

In the dance of existence – where body, soul, and movement converge – we are blessed to welcome the radiant spirit, Rafael Chaman, to our festival’s sacred space.

As the founder of The Dao of Yoga, Rafa invites us to join him in a conscious flow that transcends the boundaries of traditional yoga. Drawing from diverse systems and methods, influenced by the sacred philosophies of Tantra and Daoism, and graced with the richness of indigenous wisdom, The Dao of Yoga is a living organism—a dynamic, ever-evolving dance that embraces the fluidity of existence. In each movement, there lies a revelation, a connection to the divine within and without. The beauty of The Dao of Yoga is not merely in its postures but in its philosophy that encapsulates the essence of a world ever-changing, ever-evolving, and ever-adapting.

About

As a practitioner of Yoga and a devotee of universal truths that unravel the intricacies of consciousness, he is more than a facilitator; he is a living embodiment of the harmonious fusion of the ancient and the contemporary.

Having traversed the globe as both a pilgrim and an inspirational teacher, Rafa brings a wealth of experience to our Colibri Tribe. His classes are oriented towards the soul, and rooted in the profound understanding of inner and outer alignment.
