✴️ The Funky Flow
Saturday June 13, 2026 6:00am - 7:00am EDT
Jiminy Peak Pavilion
Limited Capacity seats available
Kick off the weekend with a bang. Make friends, share laughs, get the blood flowing, and maybe even be crowned the Champion of Funk.
The playlist sets the vibe and the energy carries the room. This all-levels flow was created to get the people moving, but be warned… there are a few super-important, completely nonsensical rules that must be followed.
You will learn the names of your fellow yogis… or else. This class shifts into a team effort where everyone supports each other and the good vibes keep building.
At the tail end of class, one of you will be crowned Champion of Funk, and we finish with a trivia round. Not yoga trivia… the good stuff. Random facts that expand your horizons and give you the most interesting conversation starter when you get home.

Do not hit snooze on this one.
Set the alarm. Set the tempo. Start your weekend right.

Be there or be square.

✴️ Resonate Together: SonicSounds, a Rainbow Sounds Experience
Saturday June 13, 2026 6:45am - 8:15am EDT
JJ's Lodge
Limited Capacity seats available
What happens when a room full of people create sound together?

In this interactive experience with Rainbow Sounds founder Bianca Sengos, you won’t just receive sound—you’ll be part of it. Each participant will be provided with a sound therapy bowl and be guided to play, explore, and resonate together.

Through guided somatic breath, gentle movement, and sound, you’ll experience SonicSounds—Rainbow Sounds’ unique, trademarked approach to interactive mindfulness, brought to you from Australia.

Coming together to resonate is one of the latest group experiences yoga teachers are adding to their schedules—and this is your chance to feel it for yourself.

This is not a traditional sound bath. It’s a shared, hands-on experience where the room comes alive through collective vibration, connection, and play

Steady in the Storm: Finding the Middle When Nothing Feels Balanced
FULL
Saturday June 13, 2026 8:00am - 9:30am EDT
Fisher Room, Country Inn
Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.
Life rarely offers perfect conditions. Whether we’re navigating personal stress, collective uncertainty, or the everyday unpredictability of being human, balance can feel elusive and sometimes even impossible. Yet yoga teaches that steadiness is not something we wait for; it’s something we cultivate from within.

In this 90-minute session, we’ll explore “the middle” as a living practice rather than a destination; as a place of integration, presence, and internal alignment that can hold us even when the world feels chaotic. Through grounded teaching and reflective inquiry, we’ll look at how imbalance shows up in our minds, bodies, and relationships, and how we can reconnect with the inner center that helps us meet life with clarity and compassion.

You’ll be guided through an all-levels yoga practice using asana, pranayama, and meditation to help you feel steadiness in your own body—moment to moment, breath to breath. Together, we’ll work with practices that support
grounding, spaciousness, and resilience, creating space to remember the stability that’s always available beneath the surface.

This session offers a chance to pause, breathe, and recalibrate and to rediscover a middle that is not fragile or rigid, but alive, responsive, and deeply human.

Doc Maynard Pavillion
Limited Capacity filling up
Vinyasa Flow is the practice of synchronizing movement with breath, creating a continuous rhythm that links effort and awareness. Rooted in the Iyengar and Ashtanga traditions, vinyasa also allows space for creative interpretation, psychological insight, and spiritual inquiry, making it a living, evolving practice rather than a fixed form.
Because of its fluid nature, vinyasa requires thoughtful sequencing and precise cueing to support stability, integrity, and safety. When done well, it builds strength without strain, mobility without collapse, and focus without rigidity. This class explores both the physical architecture and the subtle intelligence of vinyasa practice, emphasizing how alignment, breath, and transitions work together to support the nervous system and prepare the body for meditation.
We will move through the traditional arc of a vinyasa class, including Sun Salutations, standing poses, hip openers, backbends, forward bends, inversions, yin, and restorative postures. Along the way, we will examine breathwork, the relationship between effort and ease, as well as the benefits and potential risks of common postures.
This class is designed for students who want a deeper understanding of asana, and for teachers interested in how I organize, pace, and instruct vinyasa as both a technical and devotional practice.

This could be one of the most pivotal workshops in your yoga journey. While yoga is rooted in spiritual laws, Newton’s Laws still apply—because making shapes in gravity can either heal or hurt you.

Modern yoga often treats “alignment” as the Holy Grail, but traditional alignment focuses on geometry—like stacking bones into aesthetically pleasing shapes—without fully considering force transfer and load distribution. True sustainability in movement isn’t just about arranging our bones into ideal shapes; it’s about how force moves through the body.

Understanding how tension and compression act on the body in yoga helps us move efficiently and gracefully. This workshop shifts from a shape-first approach to one based on physics. You’ll learn to work with gravity, distributing forces wisely through muscles, fascia, and bones to enhance stability and freedom.
Eoin’s gift is simplifying complex concepts, but more importantly, you’ll experience what optimized movement means for your unique anatomy. The Blissology tagline is, “Yoga is a feeling, not just a shape,” and in this immersion, you’ll embody that truth.

You’ll leave with insights into sarcomeres and connective tissue and tools to guide your body toward better function—on and off the mat. Science is a gateway to the soul. You will learn to move in ways that feel good and cultivate reverence, kindness, and wisdom—the three pillars of Yoga Optimized.

In this soothing and restorative aerial yoga class, we combine the benefits of traditional yoga with the support of a hammock to help you deepen your stretches and release tension in the body.

This class is designed to improve flexibility, increase range of motion, and promote relaxation by utilizing the hammock as a prop for assisted stretching and gravity-assisted poses. Through slow, mindful movements, you’ll gently lengthen and open up tight muscles while grounding your mind in the present moment. The hammock will support your body, allowing you to explore deeper stretches without the strain of traditional floor-based stretches. Expect to hold poses longer and focus on slow, controlled breathing, allowing you to release deep-seated tension and improve your overall mobility.

This class is ideal for anyone looking to enhance their flexibility, recover from physical stress, or simply unwind in a gentle and supportive environment. No prior aerial yoga experience is required—just bring an open mind and a willingness to stretch both your body and your comfort zone!

This class is perfect for beginners as well as seasoned yogis looking to deepen their practice and relax the body. Suitable for all levels, no prior aerial experience required—just a willingness to try something new!

Potter Brothers
Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.
If you’ve ever thought, “Why does my mind do this?” — this workshop is for you. We’re two sisters who grew up with anxiety, overthinking, and a whole lot of self-doubt. Between the two of us, we’ve spent years in therapy learning something we wish someone had told us earlier: you’re not broken for thinking the way you think. You’re human. And your mind is just trying to protect you — even when it gets a little loud. This workshop is less about “doing” and more about listening — to our story, to yourself, and to a different way of understanding your mind. We’ll share the perspectives, reminders, and tools that helped us through our hardest seasons, and offer simple shifts you can carry with you into everyday life. Our hope is that you leave not trying to control your mind, but feeling more connected to it — and a little more able to live presently in moments that used to feel overwhelming. Expect a reflective, conversation-style experience with space to pause, write, think, and simply take things in at your own pace. There’s no pressure to speak, perform, or participate in any specific way. This is a space to feel understood, gather what resonates, and leave a little lighter than you arrived. Come exactly as you are. Overthinking and all.

Pilates is an amazing, comprehensive form of exercise that was created by Joseph Pilates. His original name for the work was Contrology; Contrology is the complete coordination of the body and the mind. It is only when Joseph passed that the work took on the catchier name of Pilates. Mat Pilates is a type of exercise that was based on Joseph Pilates original repertoire that includes doing the Pilates movements off the machines onto the mat. Some of these exercises are similar to many yoga poses. Examples of these exercises include: planks, side planks, long sit, spine stretch, and various other exercises.  All of the exercises target specific areas of the body to strengthen and stretch the muscles. Pilates helps elongate the muscles, help with flexibility, strengthen and lean out core muscles, and reduce overall tightness. This class can be modified for all ages, fitness levels, and body types.

Fertility Yoga is the groundbreaking work that explores the different yoga techniques that balance our hormones and release our stress. By releasing our stress our bodies are better able to function with our reproductive needs. Yoga helps with fertility in a number of ways: through stress reduction, encouraging hormonal balance, helping people with their mental health, and helping with pain relief. Yoga is also known to help boost endorphins. The same way that women get balancing of the hormones, a man can also see improvement of sperm production practicing yoga. There have been studies that show that doing fertility yoga during Ivf or art helps increase the chances of getting pregnant as well. Yoga is also helpful for relaxing the muscles of the hips and pelvis to promote a healthy pregnancy. When teaching each fertility yoga class the class ends with a discussion and meditation involving balancing the chakras associated with fertility. This way every pathway is focused on in this fertility yoga class.

Melissa Boyd is a master teacher with over 30 years experience as a movement specialist. She spearheaded the first program for yoga and fertility in Long Island and worked in collaboration with two infertility clinics and a wellness group bringing the work into fruition. Melissa has been teaching yoga for fertility for over 20 years, and now continues to take on private or couple clients, as well as teaching risings in it.

Healing Our Ancestral Roots: Uniting Through Afro Flow Yoga®
Saturday June 13, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm EDT
Jiminy Peak Pavilion
Limited Capacity seats available
At its heart, yoga means to unite. This embodied Afro Flow Yoga® workshop invites participants into a compassionate exploration of ancestral and collective stories carried in the body — not only those of our bloodline, but those we inherit as part of the human story.

Moving through both joy and pain, we explore the shared dynamics of the oppressed and the oppressor, cultivating self-reflection (Svādhyāya), grounding, and choice. This 90-minute session is an opening rather than a deep dive — planting seeds for continued inquiry, daily practice, and collective healing.

Music as Medicine
Live music and sound are woven throughout the experience, offering support rather than spectacle. Jeff W. Jones’ multi-instrumental music, rhythm, and sonic textures create a grounding and responsive foundation for movement and somatic awareness.  Morley’s soulful voice and layered soundscapes, together with Stan Strickland aka Rajahn’s masterful wind instruments and vocalizations, deepen the sound field — supporting nervous-system regulation, subtle body awareness, and collective presence. Together, music and movement form a living dialogue that gently awakens energetic flow and the vibration of love and healing — always in service of embodiment, choice, and care.

Living Symbols and Inner Practices: Devatā Yoga – Lakṣmī
Saturday June 13, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm EDT
Crane East
Limited Capacity seats available
We all have the recurring experience of frustration and suffering - from different causes, and at different levels of intensity - throughout our daily lives. In response to this recurring experience, we seek to release suffering and find fulfillment outwardly and, as a result, become entangled in what the Ancients called the ‘world of name and form’. This misguided seeking perpetuates the recurrence of unresolved issues, frustrations, tension, and suffering that we all experience throughout our lives.

Deep methods of Inner Practice evolved in the tradition of Tantric Laya Yoga through which we can break this recurring cycle, realize our true nature, actualize our innate potentials and, ultimately, become free. These methods of practice relied on complex symbol systems.

In this series of three classes, we will explore two of the most important symbol systems, the methods of practice evolved to work with them and, finally, how to integrate these symbols and methods into our personal practice.

In the second session of the series, we will
- Explore the symbolism of the Vedic Gods and Goddesses as “macrocosmic map” that reveals what the Ancients called our Divine Human Potentials.
- Introduce the methods of Devatā Yoga
- Work with this methods in a practice focused on the Mahā Lakṣmī

The Neteru: Embodying Sacred Forces of Life
Saturday June 13, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm EDT
Doc Maynard Pavillion
Limited Capacity seats available
In ancient Egyptian cosmology, the Neteru (Gods and Goddesses) were understood as living forces of intelligence that move through nature, the body, and consciousness. Rather than distant deities, they represent aspects of life we already experience: illumination and shadow, grief and renewal, courage, desire, truth, and transformation.
In this class, we approach the Neteru as energies to be felt and embodied, as opposed to ideas to be studied. Through movement, breath, reflection, and meditation, we explore how these forces live in the nervous system, the emotional body, and the choices we make. The practice becomes a way of recognizing and engaging the sacred movements already shaping our inner and outer lives.
This class offers a grounded, embodied entry into working with the Neteru as guides for awareness, balance, and integration, inviting a deeper relationship with the intelligence of life itself.

✴️ Saraswati — Key to the Treasure Trove of Tantra
Saturday June 13, 2026 4:00pm - 5:30pm EDT
Doc Maynard Pavillion
Limited Capacity seats available
At the heart of the tantric tradition stands Saraswati, the radiant embodiment of knowledge, intuition, and the hidden currents of wisdom that guide every seeker. In the esoteric teachings of the Durga Saptashati, she is revealed as the gatekeeper to the vast treasury of tantra vidya, and the one who holds the key to unveiling the deeper nature of reality. Known as maha maya and yoga nidra, Saraswati illuminates the many layers of human experience, from the most ordinary to the most sublime, and shows us how to move skillfully between them.

In this transformative session, you will explore this multifaceted divinity not as a symbol, but as a living force that unlocks access to the true heart of tantra. You will also learn the meaning and practice of a rare and sacred Saraswati mantra, preserved in both the Vedic and tantric traditions, and discover how this mantra opens the doors to clarity, creativity, and inner awakening.

From this vantage point, this session expands into the wider world of tantra itself—a tradition that, for millennia, has offered a priceless trove of techniques to support and accelerate our spiritual growth. Yet today it is often overshadowed by confusion and sensationalism. Some encounter rituals, mantras, kundalini, and chakras; others become absorbed in deities and mystical practices.

Pandit Tigunait, drawing on a thousand-year lineage of tantric masters, will cut through this modern jungle of misunderstanding to reveal the rich and sublime essence of tantra. You will learn how to discern which aspects of the tantric tradition resonate most deeply with you, how to navigate common pitfalls with confidence, and how to follow a path that leads directly to inner fulfillment and true freedom.

As a species, humans have been walking erect for about 2 million years. Yet, in what amounts to an evolutionary blink of an eye, the natural unprocessed earth has literally been pulled out from under our feet. We have leveled, paved, and otherwise smoothed out the unpredictable terrain our feet evolved to live upon. Added to this insult is the injury of restrictive footwear and poor gait habits.  It’s no wonder we have an epidemic of physical ills in the industrialized world that can be traced back to our compromised foundations.

This workshop will delve deeply into the anatomical structure, function and retraining of our feet as the foundation for a healthy asana practice and for living more fully functional lives as happy bipeds.

✴️ Is Yoga Anti-War?
Saturday June 13, 2026 4:30pm - 5:00pm EDT
Clark Room, Country Inn
Limited Capacity seats available
In this global moment of war, chaos, and destruction, yoga practitioners might feel inclined to turn to yoga philosophy for ethical guidance and a broader understanding of the moral implications and relationship between yoga and war. While it is common and tempting to turn to “ahimsa” as a foundational tenet of yoga philosophy and thus regard yoga as inherently non-violent and anti-war, such interpretations offer simplistic readings of yoga philosophy. 

So what does yoga philosophy say about war, from a historic and contemporary standpoint? I believe that nuancing our understanding of yoga philosophy with respect to war strengthens both our capacity to turn to yoga as a moral compass and our impact when we wish to harness yoga's power toward more liberatory purposes. In this half lecture, half participatory workshop session, I invite you to join me in a dialogue on the politics of yoga, war, and empire; and in a commitment to strengthen our collective movement toward liberation of all beings.

Mountain Top Outside
Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.
Begin your journey with a scenic chairlift ride to the summit of Jiminy Peak, where sweeping views of the Taconic Mountains set the stage for a truly unforgettable evening. From there, you’ll be guided on a short, gentle hike down a forest trail to a secluded outdoor glen tucked into the mountainside.

Waiting for you is critically acclaimed bassist and composer Garth Stevenson, who will weave live music, meditation, and storytelling into an immersive forest-bathing experience. As the light softens and the day transitions toward dusk, allow the resonance of sound and nature to guide you into stillness, reflection, and connection.

Following the experience, participants will return via chairlift as the mountain glows in golden hour light—an unforgettable close to a magical offering.

Please note: This outdoor session is weather-dependent. In the event of adverse weather, the experience may be modified or canceled.

✴️ The Ceremony Within: Experience Your Own Energy as the Master Teacher
Saturday June 13, 2026 7:00pm - 8:30pm EDT
Doc Maynard Pavillion
Limited Capacity seats available
This is a unique experience developed by Mara Lee Gilbert for the purpose of learning the structure of ceremony itself as its own medicine; and how our greatest teacher in this lifetime is our own energy. The structure you will experience here is based on South American style plant medicine ceremonies, where Mara received her training. However, part of her work is bringing back the memory that every human on the planet has an ancestor that practiced ceremony in their own way, their own right, that connected our lineages to the Earth, and our spirits, no matter what culture or tribe it is related to. This is the art of learning the ceremony of being Human, and walking the on-going ceremony that is our lives. We remain sober for this ceremony - no plants are consumed. 
Mara says: Come to Ceremony to connect more completely with the medicine that is You by deepening your relationship with your prayers and intentions, and recognizing the role you are playing in how they get answered. This is a space to take greater responsibility for how we are experiencing our lives. Bring your prayers. Bring Yourself, exactly as you are in this moment.
Mara sings, chants and shares prayers, in her unique style, which she channels from our collective ancestors and the Earth, to enhance and deepen the experience for all participants in profound ways

✴️ New Moon Ritual: Planting Seeds of Intention
Saturday June 13, 2026 9:00pm - 10:00pm EDT
The Sanctuary
Limited Capacity seats available
Join us for a nourishing New Moon Ritual designed to help you slow down, turn inward, and consciously begin a new cycle. You'll be led to release the previous cycle and clarify intentions aligned with what you truly want to cultivate. The June Dark Moon arrives as a threshold between late spring and early summer; a quiet pause before outward expansion. It carries themes of integration, nourishment, and intentional growth, inviting reflection before momentum builds.
The June Dark Moon is less about pushing forward and more about conscious preparation, creating a stable inner container so what emerges in the coming weeks can grow with integrity and support.
Come as you are: curious, open, or simply in need of a pause, and leave feeling clear, grounded, and connected to the quiet power of new beginnings.
