SUMMARY:Pillars of Longevity: Yoga for Grip Strength and Cardio Respiratory Health
DESCRIPTION:You may recognize these two leading indicators for longevity. But whatever is helpful in the future must be attained and maintained for its healthy benefits today. We’ll explore these vital health markers in remarkably doable ways. What good is it to attain if we cannot easily maintain? We’ll address wrist issues and arthritic tendencies in the base of the thumb. You’ll learn why it’s not so much strength\, but grip function&nbsp\;that’s vital. But foundational to it all is cardio-respiratory health. We’ll delve into practical and straightforward breathing practices you can easily incorporate into your daily life. The results you experience will naturally inspire simple\, steady practice.&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Luminous Coherence: A Meditation Protocol to Rewire the Brain and Unlock Lasting Freedom
DESCRIPTION: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.

SUMMARY:Roll Model Menopause
DESCRIPTION:Perimenopause and post-menopause produce vast bodywide changes to the female body. But its impact on fascial tissues has only recently emerged in scientific literature. Fascia remodels due to the presence or lack of estrogen. This transformation can result in pains that invisibly erupt out of “nowhere" in joints large and small.&nbsp\;This workshop will take you through critical data to help\, whether you are female bodied encountering these changes\, or you work with this population. Expect rollouts that support common pain complaints during peri/post/menopause including frozen shoulder\, hip pain\, breast tenderness\, pelvic floor pain and more.\nPart lecture/Part experientialPROPS: Blocks\, Strap\, Mat

SUMMARY:Somatic Psychology of Yoga: Unlocking Equanimity of Mind
DESCRIPTION:Grow into joyfulness and unconditional well-being! \n\nWe need all the limbs of the Yoga Sutra’s ashtanga yoga\, (plus a bit of help from Yoga Sutra’s Four Attitudes) to reconfigure persistent painful habits of body and mind. A brief look at the functions of the mind and nervous system reveals how and why the full range of yoga practice is potent\, effective\, and necessary.\n\nIn this intensive we’ll look at the kleshas (afflictions) in light of modern neuroscience and explore what it means to embody the Yoga Sutra:\n● Correct misalignments of survival instincts with restraints (yamas) and yoga practice\n● Practice breath-aligned movement and yogic breathing to balance the nervous system and develop interoception (mindfulness and self-awareness)\n● Correct emotional and behavior misalignment with observances (niyamas) and four attitudes—antidotes to common undesirable tendencies\n● Learn a simple short but powerful daily self-reflection practice\n● Correct conceptual and perceptional misalignments through meditation and self reflection (svadhyaya)

SUMMARY:Sati\, Gom\, Cho\, Saddha & Sustainable Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Yoga is always about being integrated — with yourself\, with each other\, with the world. Yet we forget this all the time.\n\nSati is a practice of remembering: your motivation\, basic goodness\, and inter-being-ness. Cyndi will introduce this concept\, along with Gom\, Cho\, and Sadha- the traditional Buddhist progression for establishing an integrated\, personal practice.\n\nWe will embody this work through a Sustainable Yoga practice: medium-paced vinyasa\, precise alignment and mindfulness of feelings give us tools for embodying this four-part process.\n\nAs you remember and get familiar with moving in ways that nourish\, strengthen and create physical resiliency\, your yoga practice becomes self-renewing. Breath by breath\, you will develop presence\, stability\, nimbleness\, and confidence.

SUMMARY:Radical Gratitude: Returning to What’s Real Without Bypassing What Hurts
DESCRIPTION: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&nbsp\;full\, honest landscape of our experience. This session encourages us to acknowledge difficulty while still recognizing the innate tenderness and beauty that exist.\n\nIn 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.\n\nYou 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.

SUMMARY:Yoga Nidra—the Science of Enlightened Sleep
DESCRIPTION:Yoga Nidra is both an ancient practice and a timeless state of being. As a state\, it is the sublime experience of resting at the edge of deep\, where dreamless sleep meets unbound awareness. As a practice\, it is a step-by-step methodology that moves one progressively into that state. In addition to being an effortless way to reduce stress and enter meditative awareness\, Yoga Nidra reveals pristine awareness or “clear-seeing\,” elevating how you perceive yourself and the world.In this session\, we outline the deep insights about the practice and address its relevance as one of the most powerful healing modalities for mitigating many of the challenges of modern life\, as well as the science of helping lead us to resting effortlessly in the pristine joy of being. The class includes practice(s) as well as theory. Please bring what you need to be warm\, comfortable\, and able to rest on your back (e.g.\, a blanket\, pillow\, thick mat).

DESCRIPTION:Garth Stevenson is a double bassist and composer known for creating music in direct communion with the natural world. On a 2010 expedition to Antarctica with biologist Dr. Roger Payne\, Garth imitated whale calls on his double bass\, attracting a dozen sei whales to their icebreaker.

SUMMARY:Against the Grain: The Courage to Heal in a World That Pulls Us Apart
DESCRIPTION:In a culture shaped by speed\, comparison\, performance\, and constant noise\, it can feel almost natural to abandon ourselves in the name of fitting in or keeping up. But meaningful healing and genuine presence often asks us to\nmove in the opposite direction. It asks us to slow down\, listen inward\, and reclaim what the world teaches us to ignore.\n\nIn this 90-minute session\, we’ll explore what it means to heal “against the grain\,” especially when external pressures or internal habits push us toward disconnecting\, perfecting\, or overriding our own truth. Through grounded discourse and thoughtful reflection\, we’ll look at the subtle patterns that masquerade as strength or goodness\, and how yoga philosophy helps us discern what truly supports growth\, clarity\, and connection.\n\nYou’ll be guided through an all-levels yoga practice using asana\, pranayama\, and meditation to help you sense what alignment feels like in your body—moment by moment\, breath by breath. Together\, we’ll explore how embodiment becomes a compass for living with integrity\, compassion\, and courage\, even when the world pulls us in a different direction.\n\nThis session is an invitation to return to yourself\, trust your own inner knowing\, and walk a path of healing that is honest\, grounded\, and deeply your own.

DESCRIPTION:The Upanishads state that there are two ways to quiet the consciousness: &nbsp\;A complete elimination of desire and pranayama.\n\nJoin Paul Menard as we take the time to dive into breathing with the intention of moving into quiet. Together we will explore pranayama as a means to soothe\, focus and free consciousness. Time will be spent preparing the body and mind to accept the gifts that pranayama has to give and practicing breathing techniques as a pathway to stillness.\n\n“Pranayama Regulates not only the flow of energy but also restrains the movement of the mind. Pranayama clears and soothes the febrile brain which hampers right thinking and reasoning\, and the mind is lifted toward meditation. “ BKS Iyengar

SUMMARY:Embodied Insight: The Chakra System & the Psyche
DESCRIPTION:This class explores the intimate relationship between the psyche\, the nervous system\, and the body through the lens of the chakra system\, held within a trauma-informed\, psychological\, and spiritual framework. The work of understanding how our beliefs\, emotions\, and survival patterns live in the body has been central to my own healing and remains the foundation of my teaching.\nTransformational inner work invites us to turn toward the aspects of ourselves we’ve learned to avoid\, suppress\, or judge. Rather than bypassing discomfort\, we learn how to meet it with awareness and skill\, allowing insight and compassion to replace reactivity and self-betrayal. When internal narratives are brought into consciousness and worked with somatically\, the body can release long-held tension\, and the mind can reorganize around greater clarity and choice.\nDuring our time together\, we will explore shadow work\, trauma and the brain\, nervous system regulation\, and the chakra system as a map for understanding both psychological patterns and energetic flow.

SUMMARY:Living Symbols and Inner Practices: Bhūta Śuddhi and Cakra Sādhana – Anāhata Cakra
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nDeep methods of&nbsp\;Inner Practice evolved in the tradition of Tantric Laya Yoga&nbsp\;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.\n\nIn 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.\n\nIn this first 90-minute session of the series\, we will\n- Explore the cakra symbol system as a “microcosmic” map that reveals both our dysfunctional patterns and our innate untapped potentials.\n- Introduce the methods of Bhūta Śuddhi&nbsp\;and Cakra Sādhana\n- Work with these methods in a practice focused on the&nbsp\;Anāhata Cakra

SUMMARY:✴️ Breaking Myths: Stories from the Mat to Flight
DESCRIPTION:Journey through the rich tapestry of yoga's ancient stories while dismantling the modern myths we tell ourselves about what our bodies can do. In this playful\, accessible class\, we'll explore the Hindu epics and legends behind familiar asanas\, discovering how these timeless tales connect to our own practice. Then we'll put theory into action as we approach arm balances with curiosity rather than fear\, using blocks and mindful progression to prove that flight is more accessible than you think. Whether you've never left the ground or you're looking to deepen your understanding of these poses\, you'll leave with new stories—both ancient and personal—and perhaps a few surprises about your own strength and capability.\nAll levels welcome.

SUMMARY:Demystifying The Bandhas
DESCRIPTION:The popularity of vinyasa-based yoga practice has created a wide interest in the theory and practice of Mula\, Uddiyana and Jalandhara Bandha – the “yogic locks.” In this workshop\, Leslie applies his unique\, experiential approach to clarify and\, above all\, simplify the practical\, anatomical basis of these powerful\, yet widely misunderstood tools.\n\nThe good news is the moment you first learned to coordinate breath and body movement\, you were intuitively\, implicitly learning bandha. From this perspective\, deepening your yoga consists of nothing more than uncovering our innate ability to find support and spaciousness through breath-centered practice.

SUMMARY:Vocal Release: A Healing Journey Through Voice\, Sound & Movement
DESCRIPTION:In these challenging and uncertain times\, many of us are carrying unexpressed emotion and stress in our bodies and voices. This trauma-informed workshop invites participants into gentle vocal and movement practices that support nervous-system regulation\, emotional release\, and authentic expression.\n\nThrough breath\, sound\, call-and-response\, intuitive vocalization\, and accessible movement\, participants explore voice and vibration as pathways to connection\, grounding\, and collective care. No singing or movement experience is required — all voices and bodies are welcome.\nMusic as Medicine\n\nLive 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.

DESCRIPTION:Step into the sacred role of the Cauldron Keeper and explore the ancient\, lunar-rooted practices of the Moon Witch as a vessel of transformation. This immersive workshop weaves together moon wisdom\, ritual\, and embodied intention to help you tend the inner cauldron\, the place where intuition\, emotion\, and magic alchemize.&nbsp\;Through gentle movement\, breathwork\, and guided reflection\, we will clear residual energy from the past cycle and create space for what is ready to emerge.

SUMMARY:Embracing Abundance: An Introduction to the Mantras of Sri Sukta
DESCRIPTION:The Sri Sukta is a sacred cluster of sixteen mantras dedicated to the Divine Mother as the source of abundance\, nourishment\, and sustaining power in the universe. Far more than prayers for material well-being\, these awakened mantras align consciousness with the subtle forces that support wholeness\, vitality\, and inner prosperity.\n\nIn this immersive workshop\, Ishan Tigunait will introduce the Sri Sukta within its yogic and spiritual context\, exploring how mantra functions as a living force rather than a symbolic chant. Participants will learn one mantra from the Sri Sukta in depth\, including its meaning\, energetic quality\, and proper pronunciation. Through practice\, Sri Sukta becomes a direct experience of inner abundance that naturally expresses itself outward into the world.\n\nThis session is accessible to practitioners of all levels and is especially meaningful for those interested in mantra\, the Divine Feminine\, or cultivating a more supportive and nourishing inner landscape.\n\nIn this session\, we will explore:\n● The purpose and spiritual significance of the Sri Sukta\n● How mantra works to awaken abundance and nurturance\n● The meaning\, sound\, and practice of one Sri Sukta mantra\n● How inner prosperity becomes the ground for outer fulfillment\n\nParticipants will leave with a lived experience of mantra practice and a deeper understanding of abundance as a spiritual and embodied reality.

SUMMARY:✴️ Align Your Words Like You Align Your Posture
DESCRIPTION:NVC in Action\, a workshop designed to bridge the gap between your yoga practice and your relationships.\nYou stretch your hamstrings. You strengthen your core. But how often do you practice the flexibility of your mind and the strength of your empathy? Why is it so easy to find balance on the mat\, but so hard to keep it in our conversations?\n\nNonviolent Communication (NVC) is often called the "Yoga of Speech." It helps us navigate conflict without losing our center.\n\nStop leaving your yoga on the mat. Come learn how to:\n​​​​· Untie the Knots: Identify the hidden needs behind your "negative" emotions so you can respond rather than react.\n· Find Your Center in Conflict: Learn to speak your truth clearly without blaming or shaming others.\n· Deepen Your Relational Flow: Transform arguments into opportunities for intimacy and connection.\n\nThis isn’t a lecture—it’s a lab. We will roll up our sleeves to practice the art of compassionate speech.\nAre you ready to stretch your heart as deep as your hamstrings?

DESCRIPTION:This gently contemplative session asks: what would happen if we brought consent into the heart of our yoga? Is there a way to be together\, side by side\, and cherish our uniqueness\, our differences\, and even our brokenness together? If we pause to notice the moment in which we decide to say either ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to the practice\, what might we achieve\, on the mat\, off the mat\, and in the world?\nThese surprisingly profound enquiries will be explored through quiet movement\, a little optional pair work\, and a nourishing yoga nidra together. Suitable for anyone ready to think a little deeper about what it is we’re doing\, alone and together\, on the mat.\n\n

SUMMARY:Feet: Your Mobile Foundation
DESCRIPTION:Most building foundations are rock solid and designed not to move. Our human foundation is different. If our toes\, feet\, and ankles don’t move properly\, our foundation is compromised. Problems can “trickle up" and affect knees and hips. It’s challenging to have good balance and a healthy gate if part of the foundation is rigid. Come to this workshop to mobilize all the working parts from the knees down. We’ll address the vital role of the big toe and how to keep it healthy. We’ll even have some fun with gate analysis so we can put it all together for a healthy\, happy stride.&nbsp\;

DESCRIPTION:Need an Aerial Pass? Purchase one here.\nThis session will begin with a gentle aerial flow as we explore the topic of mindfulness. Following the movement part of the class we'll further the discussion on eating mindfully as we enjoy some light snacks and appetizers (vegan options will be provided).\nAerial yoga helps with the decompression of the spine. Turning upside down increases the release of neurotransmitters which decreases anxiety and stabilizes mood. Other benefits of aerial yoga include increased lymphatic flow which boosts the immune system. &nbsp\;The pressure put on the diaphragm helps to improve lung health and the pressure on internal organs helps with digestive issues. &nbsp\;Going upside down also helps with blood flow to the brain improving memory\, and slowing the aging process. &nbsp\;\n\nIf you are pregnant\, have extremely high or low blood pressure\, or have osteoporosis\, please don't practice aerial yoga.\n\n

SUMMARY:✴️ Navigating Midlife Change: The Edge Method for Women's Resilience & Well-Being.
DESCRIPTION:A moment when pushing harder stops working. When the body asks for something different. That moment is The Edge.\nIn this in-person experience\, Kelli Musa introduces The Edge Method\, a nervous-system-first approach designed for women navigating midlife change\, emotional fatigue\, and the quiet loss of trust in their bodies.\nThis session explores how chronic stress\, hormonal shifts\, and long-held survival patterns shape energy\, mood\, and physical resilience—often beneath conscious awareness. Rather than forcing calm\, fixing symptoms\, or chasing balance\, participants are guided to understand what regulation actually feels like inside the body.\nThrough grounded education\, gentle awareness\, and embodied practices\, women will learn how to meet their physiology with safety instead of effort. The result isn’t control—it’s responsiveness.\nAttendees leave feeling clearer\, steadier\, and more connected to themselves\, with tools they can use immediately—on the mat and in daily life.\nBecause the body doesn’t need to be pushed harder—it needs to be heard.\nWhat You’ll Experience\nWhy trying harder stops working in midlifeHow stress affects your body and hormonesWhat your nervous system actually needsHow to help your body shift out of survival modeSimple ways to feel calmer and clearerSigns your body feels safe againTools you can use right away

SUMMARY:Tantra Sadhana — Doorway to Inner Freedom & Abundance
DESCRIPTION:Scriptures proclaim\, “You are the creator of your destiny.” We have the ability to identify and choose the path that leads to true freedom and abundance. This is what tantra sadhana is all about. There are numerous tantric practices: some complex\, some straightforward\; some enticing in the beginning and perplexing at the end.\n\nIn this keynote\, Pandit Tigunait shares the time-tested practice of tantra vidya which is sweet and insightful right from the start\, and fulfilling at each step of our progress. This practice is based on his latest book\, Sri Sukta: Tantra of Inner Prosperity.\n\nThis presentation will enable you to gather the tools needed to confront and conquer the forces of uncertainty\, fear\, and confusion sweeping across both our inner and outer worlds.

SUMMARY:✴️ The Ceremony Within: Experience Your Own Energy as the Master Teacher
DESCRIPTION: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.&nbsp\;\nMara 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.\nMara 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

SUMMARY:Sacred Ceremony: Music & Collective Ritual
DESCRIPTION:As the sun sets and the land holds us\, we gather in community for a sacred\, embodied ceremony — a living prayer of movement\, music\, story\, and collective remembrance.\n\nRooted in Afro-Indigenous wisdom\, this ceremonial flow weaves the 500-year Indigenous prophecy with African diasporic and ancestral healing technologies — music\, dance\, call and response\, somatic awareness\, and collective ritual. Together\, we move from separation to connection\, from contraction to liberation\, from forgetting to remembering.\n\nWe will:\n • Awaken awareness of our shared humanity\n • Heal the waters within — emotional\, ancestral\, and energetic\n • Offer prayer and movement for the healing of our collective sacred waters\n • Release what no longer serves\, individually and collectively\n • Call in love\, harmony\, and responsibility for future generations\n\nGuided by Afro Flow Yoga® co-founders Leslie Salmon Jones and Jeff W. Jones\, participants will be led through an immersive journey of embodied storytelling\, tracing the arc of human evolution\, our shared ancestry\, and our inseparable relationship with the natural world. Through rhythm\, breath\, voice\, and movement\, we remember what has been forgotten: that we belong to one another and to the Earth.\n\nSupported by live music\, sonic soundscapes\, voice\, rhythm\, visuals\, and call-and-response\, this multi-sensory experience invites hundreds of bodies to move as one living organism — raising the vibration of love through intentional\, prayerful\, collective motion.\n\nThis is a ceremony of remembrance and reclamation.\n\nA bridge between past\, present\, and future.\n\nA call to the here and now.\n\nTogether\, we dissolve the illusion of separation — between self and other\, human and nature — and answer our sacred instructions: to care for ourselves\, for one another\, and for the planet.\n\nAll are welcome. No experience necessary. Come as you are.\n\nLeave renewed\, connected\, and committed to co-creating the world we want to live in — for now and for generations to come.

SUMMARY:Steady in the Storm: Finding the Middle When Nothing Feels Balanced
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nIn 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.\n\nYou’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\ngrounding\, spaciousness\, and resilience\, creating space to remember the stability that’s always available beneath the surface.\n\nThis 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.

SUMMARY:Discover Joy in Backbends
DESCRIPTION:The backbending practice can be some of the trickiest poses in Yoga\, and can seem like either something you just can or cannot do. While some people naturally have more flexibility in an arched position others have to take a more studied approach. In this workshop we will go over techniques that will bring joy and ease to your back bending practice. Those that are less flexible will focus on techniques to unlock tension. Those that have an established back bending practice will be able to take themselves to a whole new level using precision in their approach!

SUMMARY:Foundation\, Form\, and Freedom: The Body and Beyond
DESCRIPTION: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.\nBecause 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.\nWe 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.\nThis 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.

SUMMARY:Yoga Optimized: Physics With Feeling
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nModern 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.\n\nUnderstanding 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.\nEoin’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.\n\nYou’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.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:✴️ You’re Not Broken: A Mindfulness Workshop for People Who Overthink
DESCRIPTION: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.

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. &nbsp\;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.

SUMMARY:Intro to Teaching Yoga for Fertility & Hormone Optimization
DESCRIPTION:Yoga teachers looking to find an amazing niche should consider learning how to work with individuals who want to get pregnant. 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.\n\nMelissa 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.\n\n

SUMMARY:Healing Our Ancestral Roots: Uniting Through Afro Flow Yoga®
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nMoving 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.\n\nMusic as Medicine\nLive 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.&nbsp\; 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.

SUMMARY:Living Symbols and Inner Practices: Devatā Yoga – Lakṣmī
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nDeep methods of&nbsp\;Inner Practice evolved in the tradition of Tantric Laya Yoga&nbsp\;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.\n\nIn 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.\n\nIn the second session of the series\, we will\n- Explore the symbolism of the Vedic Gods and Goddesses as “macrocosmic map” that reveals what the Ancients called our Divine Human Potentials.\n- Introduce the methods of Devatā Yoga\n- Work with this methods in a practice focused on the Mahā Lakṣmī

SUMMARY:The Neteru: Embodying Sacred Forces of Life
DESCRIPTION: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.\nIn 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.\nThis 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.

SUMMARY:✴️ Saraswati — Key to the Treasure Trove of Tantra
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nIn 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.\n\nFrom 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.\n\nPandit 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.

SUMMARY:A Yoga of the Foot: 3 Easy Points for being a Better Biped
DESCRIPTION: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. &nbsp\;It’s no wonder we have an epidemic of physical ills in the industrialized world that can be traced back to our compromised foundations.\n\nThis 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.

SUMMARY:Healthy Lordotic Curves of the Spine
DESCRIPTION:Between the ribcage and the spine\, we have over 100 articulating surfaces. Stickiness or rigidity in one area can lead to excessive movement in other parts. This sequence of movements and shapes targets the health and function of the two lordotic parts of the spine\, the neck and lower back. We use them to reveal incongruous movement patterns\, resolve pain\, and generate health throughout the spine.

SUMMARY:✴️ Is Yoga Anti-War?
DESCRIPTION: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.&nbsp\;\n\nSo 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.

SUMMARY:✴️ The Ceremony Within: Experience Your Own Energy as the Master Teacher
DESCRIPTION: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.&nbsp\;\nMara 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.\nMara 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

SUMMARY:✴️ Healing Breath\, Revealing Mind: An Introduction to Vishoka Meditation
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nIn this workshop-style session\, Ishan Tigunait will introduce the foundations of Vishoka Meditation\, weaving together guided practice and philosophical context.&nbsp\; 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.\n\nThis session is well-suited for both newer meditators and experienced practitioners seeking a clear\, grounded\, and systematic approach to meditation.\n\nIn this experiential session\, we will explore:\n● The purpose and essential experience of meditation in relation to yoga practice\n● How breath awareness reveals our healing potential\, and helps us bridge body and mind\n● How an embodied experience of prana is the self-revealing dimension of mind\n● Key principles that make meditation accessible\, sustainable\, and joyful\n● How Vishoka Meditation practice supports emotional resilience and inner stability\n\nParticipants 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.

SUMMARY:Meridian Flow for a Peaceful and Joyful Heart!
DESCRIPTION: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.&nbsp\;\nWe 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.&nbsp\;\nWhat 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.&nbsp\;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.

SUMMARY:Living Symbols and Inner Practices: Bhūta Śuddhi & Cakra Sādhana – Anāhata Cakra
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nDeep methods of&nbsp\;Inner Practice evolved in the tradition of Tantric Laya Yoga&nbsp\;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.\n\nIn 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.\n\nIn 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.

SUMMARY:The Practice as Sacred Alchemy: Magick\, Ritual\, and Yoga
DESCRIPTION: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.\nIn 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.\nTogether\, 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.&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Embodied Confidence: Teaching From the Inside Out
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is for festival-goers who feel the spark of teaching—or who want to deepen the way they show up in any room they enter. Abby blends nervous system awareness\, self-trust\, voice\, and presence to help participants step out of their heads and into their bodies. You’ll explore teaching as leadership: how to hold space with confidence\, speak from authenticity\, and embody who you are rather than imitate someone else.\nRooted in the philosophy behind Radiance Yoga’s signature classes—known for being packed week after week—this session offers a behind-the-scenes look at what truly creates magnetic\, impactful experiences. It’s not about choreography or cues alone\; it’s about energy\, clarity\, and connection.\nDesigned 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.”

SUMMARY:Rooted Radiance: A Pelvic Awakening Practice
DESCRIPTION: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 &nbsp\;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.

SUMMARY:Your Practice is the Brand: Me Mode™ for Yoga Teachers + Students
DESCRIPTION:The most powerful thing you offer as a teacher isn't something you manufacture\, rather something you already embody.&nbsp\;\nThis 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.&nbsp\;\nWe'll start on the mat. Through a carefully shaped practice\, we'll let sensation\, breath\, intuition\, and stillness do what they do best— &nbsp\;reveal what's actually there.\nFrom 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.\nThrough reflection\, embodied inquiry\, and tools you can actually use\, we'll work with:\nWhat makes your teaching feel honest and unmistakably yoursHow to shape felt experience into words that landWays to share your work that don't cost you your energy or integrityWhile 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.\n*Please bring a journal to this workshop.&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Kaia Methodology
DESCRIPTION: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.

DESCRIPTION: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.
