Wisdom Tent - Village Pond Plaza Near Westermere Building @ 646 Mountain Village Blvd, Mountain Village, CO 81435, USA

Have you ever felt like a cosmic 2x4 hit you across the head, often labeled as a mid-life crisis? Join this interactive lecture and discover the wisdom that yoga offers to view midlife not as a crisis, but as a profound opportunity for self-discovery and alignment with what truly matters. According to yogic teachings, we go through four distinct stages (ashrama) in a lifetime. Now is the time to stand for who you are, who you want to become, and to live in accordance with the season of your life. Dive into the conversation, gather yogic wisdom, maybe even laugh and embrace midlife as a sacred wake-up call.

Bandha are energetic seals or locks that we can create through isolated muscular actions in the body. They are most commonly referenced in support of alignment in asana, but three of them can take us beyond the physical and into the subtle dimension of prana. It is said that our vital force is diffused and thus, less potent, and that this has a direct impact on the mind’s potential. Harnessing the power of bandha can enable us to focus prana and facilitate the deepest levels of purification and transformation, enlivening and empowering all that we give our energy and attention to. This class will involve practices that interweave asana, pranayama, mudra, bandha, mantra and meditation

Practice isn't directed toward a goal; your practice is your realization. In this heat-building vinyasa flow, Elena weaves asana into a living ceremony, each breath and transition stripping away what no longer serves, revealing the clarity that was always underneath. Drez's sound holds the room with pulse, devotion, and space braided together, until the movement stills and you arrive, fully, in your seat. There in the concluding silence you'll land in the recognition you've been circling all along: Your practice is your realization.

Purpose isn’t about goals or achievement; it’s about what keeps you grounded when life feels full and when it feels uncertain or demanding. In this session, we’ll explore purpose as an internal anchor — something that genuinely matters to you and quietly guides your choices, energy, and direction. You’ll discover how purpose supports you not only in difficult moments, but also on good days by fueling curiosity, openness, and growth. This is a practical, reflective conversation about living with intention and staying connected to yourself, both on and off the mat.
