Bliss Body: Slow Flow, Yin, & Yoga Nidra

Tuesday June 2, 2026 8:00am - 9:30am EDT

Aurora Room at AC

Limited Capacity filling up

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

Tuesday June 2, 2026 10:00am - 11:30am EDT

The Hideaway (Ella)

Limited Capacity seats available

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.

Ayuryoga: A Midsummer's Release & Practice

Tuesday June 2, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm EDT

Vespara Room at AC

Limited Capacity seats available

Ayurveda and Yoga are two sides of the same cosmic dance, guiding us to harmony with nature and ourselves. In this unique Ayuryoga® practice, inspired by the teachings of Vasant Lad,, we’ll move with the energy of summer—flowing through breathwork, solar and lunar salutations, asana, and meditation. Surrender, release, and realign with the season’s gifts as you deepen your connection to the rhythms of nature and your own inner flow.
