Berkshire Yoga Festival 2026

What is kundalini anyway? How can we have an embodied experience in a safe and supported way? These are the themes that will be explored as we journey through spinal suppleness, mantra meditation, connection and community. The whole point of this immersion is to have a lived experience of your beauty, grace and perfection. No self improvement required, simply show up as you are.

Luminous Coherence unites modern science and ancient wisdom. This is a breakthrough, evidence-informed protocol that draws from neuroscience, CBT-informed self-inquiry, mindfulness, and tantric kriya meditation. Initially, the technique accelerates access to unified—non-dual—awareness. Progressively it then is applied to retrain default patterning in the brain and nervous system, transforming maladaptive mental, emotional, and behavioral tendencies. The result is a new and expansive sense of freedom––moment to moment to moment.

Research shows the practice provides “significant” measurable gains in emotional resilience, stress recovery, daily functioning and discipline, trauma-linked reactivity, creativity and insight—in seasoned as well as newer meditators. Rather than chasing peak experiences, the practice leads one to the stable healing ground of coherence, clarity and compassion for yourself, others and the world.

Grief is a sacred teacher - an expression of love, loss, and transformation. In this healing workshop, we journey through the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—to explore how nature’s wisdom can support us in moving through grief with compassion and grace.

Through a blend of grief yoga, breathwork, meditation, and somatic practices, we will honor our emotional landscapes and awaken the body’s natural capacity for healing.

In this 90 min class we will explore the depths of our inner landscape and where there is unprocessed and unexpressed e-motion (energy in motion). Giving opportunities to experience active choice throughout the class, and notice how we respond to discomfort and where we can deepen into self kindness.

It's tempting to use gratitude as an escape route from discomfort. But true gratitude is not a demand to pretend everything is fine; it’s the capacity to see and embrace the full, honest landscape of our experience. This session encourages us to acknowledge difficulty while still recognizing the innate tenderness and beauty that exist.

In this 90-minute session, we’ll explore gratitude as a steady, honest, and embodied practice that dismantles the myth of toxic positivity and roots us in reality while creating space for possibility. Through a blend of heartfelt discourse, meaningful reflection, and an accessible all-levels yoga practice, you’ll discover how gratitude can be a grounding force without glossing over the truth. We will explore how deep presence becomes transformative, supporting clarity, connection, and full integration.

You will be guided through an all-levels yoga practice utilizing asana, relaxation, pranayama, and meditation to feel gratitude from the inside out, through sensation and embodied awareness. This layered approach is designed to foster clarity, connection, and deep integration, allowing you to cultivate a sustainable sense of appreciation that is both honest and whole. All are welcome to explore this powerful path of presence.
