Yoga Immersion
with Michael Gannon and Jasmine Nash
Yogaloft, Playa del Carmen
January 17-24, 2027
Union of Two Lineages
Join Michael Gannon, aka The Yoga Dealer and Jasmine Nash in Playa del Carmen, Mexico for a 1-week yoga immersion into 2 powerful yoga lineages.
We will spend half of our practice time focused on the Ashtanga lineage, including Michael’s signature Gannon Power Vinyasa Yoga (GPVY) class. The other half of our day will focus on the Ghosh lineage, from which Bikram yoga and the 26&2 class was derived.
Participants will have the chance to practice twice per day as well as attend technique workshops focused on both lineages.
You don’t need to have any specific level of practice or familiarity with either lineage in order to attend the week, but we recommend the week for those who have a regular yoga practice.
This is a chance to experience in your own body and mind (or as Gannon says, The Bodymind) what happens when 2 impactful lineages join forces!

About Michael Gannon
In the late 90s, the practice of yoga lured Michael away from chaotic deal making in the American advertising and music industry. He subsequently spent 10 years studying in India with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (1915 – 2009) learning the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd series of the traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa system. Authorized directly by Jois in 2001 to teach, Gannon has taught in over 50 countries on five continents.
Having trained over 600 teachers worldwide in Ashtanga and Power Vinyasa Yoga, his unique teaching style makes the transformational powers of yoga accessible to all with the desire to learn.
Gannon additionally uses a broad range of meditation and breathing practices to guide people in transcending their self perceived limitations.
Taking on the playful moniker long ago, “The Yoga Dealer”, he founded the Yoga Dealer Brand in 2005. His live teachings have been extended over the years via many DVDs, the first ever Ashtanga Yoga App on iPhone/Android, and the online video platform yogadealer.com/practiceonline. His first book, Ashtanga Yoga Made Simple — A Practice For All Levels, was published in 2018.
On his home beach in Mexico, Gannon designed, built, and directs one of the most beautiful yoga schools on the planet, Yogaloft Playa del Carmen. When he’s not traveling, it is here that he spends time at the feet of his three most powerful gurus — his daughter and two sons.

She is also one of four leaders of Jedi Fight Club, a posture-development curriculum created by Esak.
A dedicated yoga athlete since 2012, Jasmine was the Canadian Champion from 2019 to 2021. She thrives in group settings and is known for creating transformative, high-level yoga travel experiences.
