About the Collaboration

This special weekend is a co-hosted collaboration between Cihangir Yoga (CY) and Alma Hotel Zurich.

Cihangir Yoga is an established yoga school and studio network based in Istanbul, co-owned by Chris Chavez and known for its structured, method-based approach to modern yoga practice. Alma Hotel is recognized for its thoughtful hospitality and dedicated wellness space in the heart of Zurich.

Chris has been staying at Alma for over 15 years and considers it a home in Zurich, making this collaboration a natural and meaningful continuation of a long-standing relationship.

Together, this weekend brings intelligent movement, refined structure, and embodied depth into an intimate two-day experience.

About the Weekend

Clarity & Depth explores how precision and presence coexist in modern yoga practice and teaching.

Across two focused sessions, participants will experience both the architecture behind meaningful practice and the embodiment of that structure through intelligent movement.

Participants are welcome to attend one workshop or both. Attending the full weekend offers a more immersive and integrated experience.

-Saturday / Clear Teaching. Deep Practice.

For Teachers & Experienced Practitioners

Hours : 11:00–13:00

A focused 2-hour workshop combining structured lecture and integrated practice.

This session explores how clear methodology creates deep experience — and how intelligent structure allows presence and spiritual depth to emerge naturally in teaching.

We will explore:

• What makes a class feel genuinely meaningful

• The difference between theme and transmission

• How clarity in sequencing creates safety and depth

• The role of language and energetic containment

• How intention becomes embodied rather than performative

The workshop concludes with a guided practice demonstrating how clarity and

depth support one another in real time.

-Sunday / Strong. Clear. Deep.

For Dedicated Practitioners

Hours: 11:00–13:00

A 2-hour guided practice designed for practitioners with prior yoga experience.

This session embodies the principles explored on Saturday through strong yet progressive sequencing, refined transitions, and integrated breath.

Expect:

• Intelligent, layered sequencing

• Sustainable strength building

• Clear and progressive structure

• Integrated breathwork

• Moments of stillness and depth

A practice designed to leave you feeling strong, centered, and deeply connected.
