Bending Backward, Moving Forward
Backbends seem to get all the glory in yoga practice. And for good reason! These are challenging asanas that go right to the heart of the yogi’s intentions – to live a life filled with love. Backbends create room for fearlessness, and that is a challenging quality to practice and embody. But, through backbending, we become much more comfortable with moving fearlessly in our lives.
Sacred Vibration
Sacred Vibrations includes a vigorous physical practice in which sight is taken away, so that only the ears and other senses are available to feel the effects.
Myths of the Asanas
Myths of the Asanas explores the myths behind yoga’s sacred tradition.

Ganesh: Overcoming Obstacles (Friday, 11am-1pm)
Ganesh is often thought of as the remover of obstacles, but we might prefer to think of him as the revealer of possibilities. This class highlight’s Ganesh’s story and talks about how shifting our perspective literally makes problems go away. Through intelligently sequenced vinyasa, yoga mythology and some chanting, we find out where problems really come from and why they are integral to our personal transformation within a yoga practice.
Kali & Durga: Winning the War (Saturday, 3-5pm)
Kali and Durga are goddesses that help us to wage the internal battle and overcome our ego and fear. This is very helpful in the process of yoga as we try and deconstruct who we think we are in favor of loving what is. Work through a vigorous vinyasa practice, along with chanting and live music, yoga philosophy and yoga sutra to embody what these teachings offer us – freedom and happiness.
Myth & Mantra Workshop: Kirtan with Storytelling (Sunday, 3-5pm)
This workshop explores the mysticism of yoga mythology found within the music of kirtan. Kirtan literally means “to cut” and is a yogic practice that allows us to cut through the veil of impermanence to reveal the light. Music has been a part of every culture throughout history, and the culture of music within yoga allows us to continue our yoga practice long after the bending of asana stops and it also brings to life some of our favorite tales from yoga mythology. This workshop contains chanting and lecture. Be prepared to sit comfortably.
