Kaia Methodology

Sunday June 14, 2026 12:00pm - 1:30pm EDT

Limited Capacity seats available

The Kaia Methodology is a workshop led by founder Gina Norman that explores how sequencing, strength, breath, and awareness work together to create a sustainable, full-body yoga practice. Through a steady, intelligently paced class with ample hands-on assists, Gina helps students feel and understand why yoga is taught as a complete system—not as isolated poses. 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.

Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.

This 75-minute practice blends gentle movement, yin-inspired stillness, and guided Yoga Nidra to help you unwind and restore. We begin with slow, intentional flow to warm the body and soften & hydrate the fascia, then shift into longer-held postures to release tension and nourish connective tissues. Class closes with Yoga Nidra, a guided meditation known as “yogic sleep” or NSDR (non-sleep deep rest) which supports deep rest, nervous system balance, and better sleep.

Designed to calm the parasympathetic nervous system and support recovery, this class is perfect for athletes, busy professionals, and anyone needing space to let go and if you're looking for a reset so you can take even more of the fabulous other offerings at the Berkshire Yoga Festival! You’ll leave feeling grounded, rested, and renewed.
