Sacred Flow: Bellydance for Presence & Power LIMITED

Saturday July 26, 2025 8:00am - 9:15am EDT

Bellydance is more than movement—it’s a meditation in motion. In this soulful session, we’ll use the fluidity of bellydance to tap into deep presence, mindfulness, and body awareness. Through intentional movement, breathwork, and guided reflection, you'll unlock a sense of grounded confidence and inner stillness. Come as you are, leave feeling embodied, present, and fully in tune with yourself.

Vespara Room at AC

The world feels like it’s on fire—or sinking under water. So now what? The Bhagavad Gita isn’t just an ancient text; it’s a spiritual survival guide for our messy, modern times. In this class, we’ll explore how Arjuna’s crisis on the battlefield mirrors our own struggles. When everything falls apart, how do we rise with purpose?

We’ll dive into the core teachings of dharma (sacred duty), karma (right action), surrender, detachment, and the cycles of the yugas, uncovering how these timeless principles offer clarity in the chaos of life. Through grounded philosophy and real-talk reflection, you’ll leave feeling connected to your deeper path, even amidst the rubble. This is the class that will remind you: even in the mess, there’s magic.

The Wisdom of Rest LIMITED

Saturday July 26, 2025 8:00am - 9:30am EDT

Aurora Room at AC

We have a tendency to pin our exhaustion onto our chests like a badge of honour, hovering just above complete burnout as our nervous system spins out of control begging for a reset. This is your chance. A time to settle into a deep understanding that rest is your birthright, it is not something that needs to be earned or ashamed of. It is this knowing that allows us to soften back into our innate ability to heal and to connect to our intuition, our inherent creativity and our endless imagination. Yoga Nidra is the pathway home. A practice of returning. Of allowing ourselves to fall back into the open arms of deep rest. This workshop is an introduction into some of these rest practices. We will spend time in conversation around the history, tradition and techniques of these practices and then drift towards them, wandering down the pathway of untangling until we land softly into our Nidra nest. You will walk away feeling rested and more deeply connected to that clear voice inside of you that calls out for you to slow down, be quiet and listen.

Fascia is the bio-intelligent structure that holds us together. It can be thought of as the 'organ of organization' as it keeps our bones upright, holds our organs in place, and supports the pathway of the nerves.
On an energetic level, it is the medium in which the meridian system is inlaid, thereby the vehicle for the migration of Qi through the subtle body.

In this workshop, we map out the anatomical layers of fascia and practice different techniques to release the connective tissue. We will focus on yin and yang styles of asana and fluid movement patterns to enhance the flow of prana through the fascial planes.

Let the breath guide you into deeper oceans of mindfulness. Embark in the gift of stillness through Yin yoga while unleashing fresh energetic pathways that yield to Prana and restore the flow within. Through steeping in specific asanas by lying on the earth in longer held poses, we will explore our many diverse emotions and how they are expressed within our inner landscape. We are vessels of transformation. How can we overcome the experience of facing what we cover up or run from? It begins with this present breath ready to face what arises. Navigated by our Breath of Life, the sticks and branches are cleared in this inner river of blessings. Awareness grows as we simply allow the rising of the inner light to shed rays of clarity on any darkness or obstacle by simply trusting in this journey with our present breath that carves out our life. Like waves returning to the ocean and shore of our being, we have the power to return to our breath and observe what arises and anything that doesn’t serve us begins to dissolve. We continue to anchor into our breath again and again in this safe space where our hearts pulsate with life in a continual rhythm. Yin yoga benefits in improving this energetic flow of chi in our organs and works on the deeper tissues of the body. Using this ancient knowledge, you will unleash your highest potential by restoring the flow in mind and body and leave refreshed and renewed on this beautiful path of yoga.

Pranayama & Mantra: Entering the Gap for Profound Presence LIMITED

Saturday July 26, 2025 4:00pm - 5:15pm EDT

Vespara Room at AC

In the ever-constant flow of life, we often find ourselves caught in the rush of thoughts, distractions, and external stimuli. But within each of us lies a sacred space of stillness — a gap — where true presence and clarity emerge. In this workshop, we will explore how pranayama breathing techniques and mantras can be used as tools to access and deepen this profound gap of awareness. This session will guide you through a series of breathwork and chanting practices designed to quiet the mind, regulate energy, and lead you into the space between thoughts — the "gap." By focusing on the breath, sound, and its rhythms, we can cultivate an experience of pure consciousness, tapping into a state of presence and insight. This workshop is open to all levels, whether you’re new to pranayama and mantra or a seasoned practitioner. You’ll leave with practical tools to quiet the mind, nurture inner peace, and access the timeless space of presence. Come join us and experience the power of breath and sound to connect with the gap — the space where transformation happens.

Cacao Ceremony ~Honoring the Mess and the Magic LIMITED

Saturday July 26, 2025 4:00pm - 5:30pm EDT

The Hideaway

Many ancient cultures know that cacao (the pure essence of chocolate) opens the emotional center of our body - our heart chakra. With all that is going on in the world, this medicine can support us in holding it all, the mess and the magic. In this session we will merge the medicine of cacao and the wisdom of yoga practices to explore and empower the heart. Through a simple cacao ceremony, gentle asana, chanting, and live music you will be sweetly surprised how you may have access to your heart and the hearts of others. When the heart, the voice, and the people around us are open and relaxed, we can access magic.
