Steady in the Storm: Finding the Middle When Nothing Feels Balanced

Saturday June 13, 2026 8:00am - 9:30am EDT

Fisher Room, Country Inn

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.

Through accessible movement, lunar-informed breathwork, and guided meditation, this practice gently quiets mental overactivity and supports nervous system regulation. Woven with contemplative INSIGHT inquiry, participants experience how steadiness arises not through effort, but through alignment, containment, and listening.

In the midst of collective spaces, stimulation, and constant interaction, it’s easy to feel scattered or energetically drained. This Kundalini Yoga experience offers a grounded, intentional practice focused on cultivating awareness, clarity, and healthy energetic boundaries.

Bringing the Mind Back Home: A Guided Experience of Vishoka Meditation

Saturday June 13, 2026 8:30am - 9:30am EDT

Doc Maynard Pavillion Sponsored by Yerba Madre

This guided class offers a direct, embodied experience of Vishoka Meditation through an integrated sequence of movement, breath training, relaxation, and seated meditation practice. Designed to meet practitioners where they are, the class gently guides the mind away from fragmentation and toward a felt sense of inner steadiness, clarity, and ease.

Through breath-aligned asana and systematic relaxation, participants will prepare both the body and nervous system for meditation. The practice culminates in a guided introduction to Vishoka Meditation, a classical yogic approach that uses the subtle dimension of the breath to reveal the mind’s natural luminosity and joy.

This session is appropriate for all levels and especially supportive for those seeking a meditative experience that feels grounded, nourishing, and sustainable.

In this class, you can expect:
● Breath-aligned asana to cultivate ease and inner awareness
● Systematic relaxation to calm the nervous system and experience inner space
● Meditative pranayama to refine attention and prepare the mind to turn inward
● A guided experience of Vishoka Meditation

Foundation, Form, and Freedom: The Body and Beyond

Saturday June 13, 2026 10:00am - 11:30am EDT

Doc Maynard Pavillion Sponsored by Yerba Madre

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.

Yoga Optimized: Physics With Feeling

Saturday June 13, 2026 10:00am - 11:30am EDT

Jiminy Peak Pavilion

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.

Healing Our Ancestral Roots: Uniting Through Afro Flow Yoga®

Saturday June 13, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm EDT

Jiminy Peak Pavilion

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

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 Sponsored by Yerba Madre

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.
