Workshop + Practice with Esak Garcia

Date: Sunday, January 11, 2026
Spirit Lab Yoga Studio | 54 W 39th St, 5th Fl
Workshop: 9:30am–12:00pm
‍ e84 Intermediate Class: 1:00–2:30pm

Join us for a rare opportunity to study and practice with Esak Garcia, one of the most respected figures in the global hot yoga community.

Since 1994, Esak has devoted his life to the study and evolution of the 26&2 hot yoga sequence and the 84-asana advanced series. He is the founder of the Jedi Fight Club training method, the creator of the e84 Intermediate class, and the visionary behind the e84 Teacher Training, a two-year program dedicated to teaching hot yoga at three levels: 26&2, e84 Intermediate, and 84 Asanas.

This workshop will explore technique, structure, and depth in key postures from the hot yoga system:
Half Moon Backbend
Triangle Pose
Standing Head to Knee
Lotus Development
Handstand Concepts

You’ll learn practical tools to improve strength, flexibility, and alignment in these foundational postures, with Esak’s signature approach—precise, playful, and deeply rooted in yoga tradition.

After the workshop, we’ll put it all into practice with an e84 Intermediate Class (1:00–2:30pm), an accessible yet challenging sequence designed to bridge the gap between the traditional 26&2 and the advanced 84-asana practice.

No advanced experience is required—all are welcome.

About Esak Garcia:
Esak has been a leader in the global hot yoga community for over 25 years. Through his teachings, trainings, and community, he continues to share yoga as a path toward physical mastery and self-discovery. Learn more about Esak at www.esakgarcia.com.
