✴️ Healing Breath, Revealing Mind: An Introduction to Vishoka Meditation
Sunday June 14, 2026 8:00am - 9:30am EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
Vishoka Meditation is a classical yogic approach to meditation that uses the subtle dimension of breath as a doorway into the mind’s natural state of clarity, joy, and inner radiance. Rooted in the Himalayan Tradition and drawing source wisdom from the YogaSutra and the Lotus Sutra, this practice offers a comprehensive yet accessible pathway toward a sorrow less state of awareness—one that does not bypass life’s challenges, but transforms our relationship to them.

In this workshop-style session, Ishan Tigunait will introduce the foundations of Vishoka Meditation, weaving together guided practice and philosophical context.  Participants will learn essential techniques that unite the subtle aspect of the breath with the mind’s power of awareness, revealing a deeper and more luminous dimension of consciousness already present within us.

This session is well-suited for both newer meditators and experienced practitioners seeking a clear, grounded, and systematic approach to meditation.

In this experiential session, we will explore:
● The purpose and essential experience of meditation in relation to yoga practice
● How breath awareness reveals our healing potential, and helps us bridge body and mind
● How an embodied experience of prana is the self-revealing dimension of mind
● Key principles that make meditation accessible, sustainable, and joyful
● How Vishoka Meditation practice supports emotional resilience and inner stability

Participants will leave with a felt sense of the practice and a deeper understanding of how meditation can become a source of clarity, healing, and inner nourishment.

Beyond the Guru: Pedestals, Power, and Accountability in Modern Yoga
Sunday June 14, 2026 8:00am - 9:30am EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
In recent years we’ve seen an unprecedented number of gurus and senior yoga teachers credibly accused of financial, sexual and spiritual abuse. As survivors grieve and lineages try to rebuild, it’s time for a bigger conversation about power relations in modern yoga.

How can we ensure better accountability in the yoga teaching space?

Can we continue to honor our sources while keeping all of us safer?

And is the age of the yoga guru finally over?

Join us for an honest conversation about hope, harm and justice, about the way power flows through practice, and about healing in community.

Meridian Flow for a Peaceful and Joyful Heart!
FULL
Sunday June 14, 2026 8:30am - 9:30am EDT
Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.
The Meridian Flow is a dynamic combination of Alignment-based Vinyasa Yoga, Chinese medicine, and Qigong. In the five-elemental paradigm, according to Chinese medicine, each season's energy corresponds to a different pair of organs' energy (or qi). The energy of the fire season (early summer) corresponds to the energy of the HEART and Small Intestine. Throughout this class, we will stimulate their energy pathways, known as meridians, by pressurizing and lengthening them in our Yoga and Qigong sets, which will create an acupressure effect. 
We will be strengthening the arms, through which the heart and small intestine meridians run, as well as stretching them to release stagnation. We will flow through yoga sequences and qigong sets specifically designed for the heart, which will provide us with a peaceful and joyful heart, the emotions that we benefit from when the heart qi is balanced, rather than stress and anxiety, which deplete the heart when the qi is maladapted. 
What makes this practice unique is the laser-like focus of meridian breathing, where the meridians are visualized as golden threads of light. This is an ancient healing Qigong technique known as Yi Qi Li, which guides energy with consciousness, strengthening the muscles of focused concentration, the 6th limb in the eight-fold path of yoga, known as Dharana, which precedes Dhyana, meditation. Therefore, this practice becomes a form of mediation in motion. You'll leave feeling a deep sense of peace, as well as a joyful energy that will set you up well for the rest of your day.

Living Symbols and Inner Practices: Bhūta Śuddhi & Cakra Sādhana – Anāhata Cakra
Sunday June 14, 2026 10:00am - 11:00am EDT
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 this 60-minutes session we will explore through lecture, discussion and Q&A how to authentically integrate these symbols and methods into personal practice and daily life.

The Practice as Sacred Alchemy: Magick, Ritual, and Yoga
Sunday June 14, 2026 10:00am - 11:30am EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
Magick is often described as the ability to shift energy through intention, and this is precisely what happens when movement, breath, and prayer are woven together with awareness. When practiced this way, yoga becomes an alchemical process, transforming contraction into expansion, fear into insight, and habit into conscious choice.
In this class, practice is approached as ritual. Movement becomes devotion. Breath becomes invocation. The body becomes a living altar through which we engage transformation not as an abstract concept, but as a lived, felt experience. When intention is embodied, yoga moves beyond exercise and becomes a means of aligning personal healing with something larger than the self.
Together, we will move through a soulful and intelligently sequenced practice that includes Sun Salutes A and B, standing poses, backbends, forward bends, inversions, meditation, mantra, mudra, and prayer.

Designed for both aspiring and current teachers, this workshop is experiential and transformational. Participants will move, reflect, and reconnect with their own inner authority. You’ll leave feeling grounded, capable, and inspired, thinking: “I want to be in rooms like this more often. I’m ready to grow into my voice and share this energy.”

Limited Capacity filling up
Reconnect to the deep intelligence of your center. In this slow, steady practice, we’ll explore the pelvis as the body’s structural foundation and a potent energetic hub. We’ll begin by mapping the functional anatomy of the pelvis. Through accessible movement, you’ll learn how these structures collaborate to provide stability, mobility, and ease in daily life. Expect practices that illuminate how the pelvis moves with breath, how the pelvic floor responds to load and release, and how balanced engagement can support the spine, hips, and core. From there, we’ll shift into the energetics of the pelvis, exploring this space as the seat of grounding, creativity, and inner radiance. Using guided breathwork, visualizations, and slow, fluid movement, we’ll attune to the subtle rhythms of  flowing energy and the rooting and creative spark of first and second chakras. You’ll be invited to sense the pelvis not just as anatomy, but as home—an anchor point for intuition, presence, and personal power.

Your Practice is the Brand: Me Mode™ for Yoga Teachers + Students
FULL
Sunday June 14, 2026 12:00pm - 1:30pm EDT
Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.
The most powerful thing you offer as a teacher isn't something you manufacture, rather something you already embody. 
This workshop invites yoga teachers into Me Mode™, a practice-based approach to teaching that honors your nervous system, your truth, and the particular way you move through the world. 
We'll start on the mat. Through a carefully shaped practice, we'll let sensation, breath, intuition, and stillness do what they do best—  reveal what's actually there.
From there, we'll explore what it means to teach from the ground of your own life, rather than from comparison, trends, or the exhausting work of performing. You won't leave with a formula for "building your brand." You'll leave with something quieter and more durable: a clearer sense of what makes your teaching feel true, and how to speak from that place without dimming yourself or burning out.
Through reflection, embodied inquiry, and tools you can actually use, we'll work with:
  • What makes your teaching feel honest and unmistakably yours
  • How to shape felt experience into words that land
  • Ways to share your work that don't cost you your energy or integrity
While Sonia is happy to share on-camera/ social media tips and answer questions on growing your audiences & reaching goals of selling out retreats, please note this isn't a lecture on visibility. It's a space where your practice, insight, and presence converge so you can teach from who you are, not who you think you should be.
*Please bring a journal to this workshop.

Rather than pulling the practice apart, this workshop emphasizes the integration of movement, breath, and meditation, showing how their combined effect supports strength, balance, and a sense of wholeness. The Kaia Methodology uses four core themes—philosophical focus, alignment, peak pose, and physical focus—to create a well-rounded class that leaves you feeling integrated. This workshop is ideal for students and teachers who want a deeper understanding of functional yoga and a practice that feels strong, grounded, and complete—on and off the mat.

• Tune into your soul by taking a ride with your wise guide inside

In this 90 minute teachers practice, we will look at many bodies in several different shapes and address each person's individual needs dependent upon what the body presents. This will assume you have some experience with putting your hands on students and are looking to train your eye to see what exactly each body needs. We will analyze where the body needs more (or less) earth, more (or less) fire, more fluidity, less rigidity, more breath or more space. The result is using hands on adjusting beyond a 101 perspective; you will refine your ability to make the time you spend in a students’ space feel unique , satisfying and revelatory.
