Embrace the Essence of Slow Beauty: A Forest, Waterfall & Drip Sauna Journey LIMITED
Thursday July 24, 2025 10:00am - 4:00pm EDT
Immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature and rediscover your inner radiance with Tara and Jessica's "Slow Beauty" experience, a nourishing offering within the vibrant Love Shine Play Festival. Journey with us as we gently weave together the grounding energy of the forest, the revitalizing magic of a waterfall, and the soothing warmth of a traditional drip sauna.

Our day begins with a scenic drive to the breathtaking Catawba Falls hike. There, Tara will guide you on a mindful hike through verdant trails, inviting you to connect deeply with the earth through an opening invocation and grounding practice. Feel the forest awaken your senses as we make our way to a hidden gem.

At the majestic waterfall, Jessica will lead you in a time of gentle exploration and connection. Allow the cascading waters to wash away any tension as you embrace the natural beauty surrounding you. Jessica will also offer nourishing snacks and the opportunity to indulge in the earth's embrace with provided clay masks, enhancing your natural glow.

After our time by the waterfall, we'll embark on a leisurely hike back, carrying the serenity of the forest with us. A short drive will then lead us to the comforting embrace of Drip Sauna. Here, the gentle heat and rhythmic dripping will further melt away stress, leaving you feeling deeply cleansed and renewed.

Join Tara and Jessica for this unique opportunity to slow down, connect with nature, and nurture your well-being as part of the inspiring Love Shine Play Festival. We can't wait to share this rejuvenating journey with you!

Fire Element Yin Practice – Embracing the Mess & the Magic LIMITED
Friday July 25, 2025 8:00am - 9:30am EDT
In Chinese Medicine, the Fire element governs the Heart Meridian, the seat of our spirit and the bridge between chaos and clarity, passion and peace. Fire energy invites us to embrace the full spectrum of our experience—joy and sorrow, exhaustion and inspiration—without resistance. It is the element of deep feeling, connection, and radiant presence.

Through a heart-centered Yin practice, we will gently stimulate the Heart and Small Intestine meridians, dissolving energetic stagnation and softening the protective armor around the heart. Expect deep holds, compassionate self-inquiry, and breathwork to cultivate both tender vulnerability and fierce aliveness. In honoring both the mess and the magic, we learn to trust the fire within—burning away what no longer serves while illuminating our deepest truths.

Come ready to surrender, expand, and rekindle the spark of your own wild, untamed heart.

The Wisdom of Rest LIMITED
Saturday July 26, 2025 8:00am - 9:30am EDT
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.

Journey Into Deeper Oceans of Mindfulness LIMITED
Saturday July 26, 2025 4:00pm - 5:15pm EDT
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
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.

Bliss Body: Slow Flow, Yin, & Yoga Nidra LIMITED
Sunday July 27, 2025 8:00am - 9:30am EDT
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
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.

Embracing the Mess: Yin & Let Go LIMITED
Sunday July 27, 2025 12:00pm - 1:30pm EDT
This isn’t about fixing anything. It’s about sinking into what is—our messy, unfiltered selves. In this class, we’ll hold space for discomfort and let go of the need for control. Through deep yin postures and breath, we’ll soften into whatever is showing up. It’s a practice of being with what is, without resistance, without judgment. Just allowing the magic of the moment to unfold. To close, we’ll drop into Savasana with the peaceful tones of handpan by Adarooo, grounding us back into the stillness.

Shining Through the Storm: Building Sri LIMITED
Sunday July 27, 2025 2:00pm - 3:15pm EDT
When life’s chaos calls for our attention, how do we stay open to it without losing touch with the magic within? How do we move through the darkness without being consumed by it, and return to our true nature—whether you call it Atman, Buddha nature, Christ consciousness, or simply our most authentic self? In this class, we’ll cultivate śrī, our inner radiance, not to deny the mess, but to shine a light as we navigate through it.
Through energizing asana, breathwork, meditation, and mantra, we’ll build a steady foundation that allows us to embrace the chaos while staying connected to our light. This intermediate-level practice will guide you back to your true self, offering clarity and strength amidst life’s storms.
