Sunday July 27, 2025 8:00am - 9:15am EDT

The Solarium at Restoration

Step into a heart-centered sanctuary where gentle yoga and the soulful live music of LVDY intertwine to nurture profound self-love. Join Tara of Great Abiding Yoga and the enchanting duo LVDY (Kathleen and Aubrey) for an immersive experience designed to guide you inward. Through flowing yoga postures and LVDY's uplifting harmonies, you'll be invited to release tension, cultivate inner peace, and open to the inherent wisdom of your own heart. Inspired by Tara's poetry from 'Collecting Feathers,' 'Landing hOMe,' and 'Sacred Details,' this practice encourages you to explore the landscape of your inner self with gentle self-compassion and radiant self-acceptance.

Allow the combined power of movement and melody to remind you that your body is your home, your soul is your guide, and self-love is your inherent strength. This is an invitation to honor your body's needs, listen to the rhythms of self-care, and reclaim the tender spirit within. Release self-criticism, embrace the beauty of your present moment, and discover the liberating power of kindness and grace towards yourself. Come as you are and let the shared breath and harmonious energy create a space where you can truly embrace and cherish the love that resides within.

Bliss Body: Slow Flow, Yin, & Yoga Nidra LIMITED

Sunday July 27, 2025 8:00am - 9:30am EDT

Aurora Room at AC

When we have the spaciousness and quietude to familiarize ourselves with the mind's natural state, we get clear and spacious. Our inherent "Bliss Body" is ever-present. Underneath the continuous confluence of change, there is a stable center point of safety we can celebrate. Using ancient teachings and an intermingling of Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and Slow Flow, we’ll fine tune our methods for mindful cultivation & inherent ease. Long held floor poses encourage and enhance the Qi or energy distribution through the bones and connective tissues that bind them. These mainly static postures coax Qi into the respective Meridians (the unseen riverbeds of energy the Qi travels through), thereby encouraging a kind of needle-less acupuncture treatment. This style of practice nourishes the natural range of motion of the joints, increases the resilience and elasticity of our fascia, and slows the impact of aging. Yoga Nidra is a deeply restorative practice that guides you into a state of conscious relaxation, allowing us to come home again & again to our own inner landmark of self trust. The greatest journey doesn't take us anywhere, it just brings us more here . Join Kali for a longevity practice to return to the radiant, ephemeral BLISS BODY.

Pulling the Threads - Fundamentals of Creative Sequencing LIMITED

Sunday July 27, 2025 10:00am - 11:30am EDT

Vespara Room at AC

Yoga teachers carry a significant responsibility as they walk into the studio to teach a class. The expectations are high as they conduct the symphony of the breath, cue anatomical alignment, urge proper engagement, and teach the wisdom practices of this ancient science. All of this is layered gracefully over the architecture of the sequence. Just like any other structure, if the foundation isn't stable and secure, the building will quickly start to show its cracks.

Sequencing is the stable base that must be built to bear the weight of all the other elements that will be laid upon it. Alongside that, there is an undeniable urge to make the structure beautiful and ornate. The choreography of the body has the potential to pull our students out of their minds and allow them to float in the freedom of uninhibited movement. However, the movement must be intelligent, coherent, directed, and delivered in a concise way.

Aurora Room at AC

Give yourself the gift of deep rest and restoration in this soothing workshop designed to calm the nervous system and bring harmony to body, mind, and spirit. Through gentle movement and breathwork, we’ll prepare the body to shift into relaxation, releasing tension and stress.
A guided yoga nidra practice will invite deep stillness, while the resonant sounds of gongs, crystal singing bowls, and chimes create a vibrational sanctuary for healing and renewal. This immersive experience supports the body’s natural ability to rest and digest, leaving you feeling refreshed, grounded, and deeply nourished.
