Flip the Script: An Inversions Immersion with Kirra Michel

Open

Peaks Ballroom - The Peaks Hotel & Spa @ 136 Country Club Dr, Mountain Village, CO 81435, USA

Limited Capacity seats available

There's something quietly revolutionary about turning the world upside down — and Kirra Michel is here to show you exactly how it's done. This Thursday deep-dive immersion breaks down the art and science of inversions with the kind of precision, playfulness, and infectious joy that Kirra brings to everything she teaches. We'll explore alignment, mechanics, and the specific strength patterns that make inversions not just possible, but sustainable — meeting every body where it is and building from there. Through guided, progressive practice you'll develop real confidence, refined technique, and a body awareness that will transform not just your inversions but your entire practice. Expect to work hard, laugh often, and discover capabilities you didn't know you had. Strength first. Flight when it's earned.

Bring blocks and a strap if you have them.

Yoga | Aging: Perimenopause & the Art of Transitions

Open

What the #@&%! is happening?
Who am I now?
Where did my energy, vitality, and sense of purpose go?

If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone. Perimenopause often arrives quietly—until suddenly we realize we’re in the middle of it. The shifts can touch every part of us: body, sleep, mood, resilience, identity.

In this half-day immersion, we’ll explore how yoga can support us through seasons of change—whether you’re in perimenopause, post-menopause, or simply navigating the transitions that come with aging and evolving. Through movement, breath, rest, and reflection, we’ll practice meeting change with steadiness rather than resistance.

Together we’ll work with:
Stability — grounding the nervous system, finding steadiness in the body and emotions

Strength — supporting muscle, bone, and resilience through sustainable, intelligent movement

Sustainability — learning rest practices to support sleep, stress regulation, and recovery

This offering centers the lived experience of women while welcoming others who want to understand the transitions more than half of the population moves through—and how to support partners, friends, and themselves through change with more care and awareness.

Come as you are. This is a space to move, rest, ask honest questions, and meet this stage of life with more clarity, compassion, and strength.

Christine Anderson opens the Telluride Yoga Festival the way only she can — with soul, fire, and a room full of people ready to remember what their bodies are capable of. This breath-driven power vinyasa builds progressively, layering strength and play as the energy in the room rises: standing balances that sharpen your focus, arm balances that surprise you, heart openers that crack you wide open — all of it accessible, all of it alive.

This practice was never about pushing harder. It's about waking up — to your breath, your edges, your capacity to thrive. Because when you move with that kind of awareness, the energy doesn't just stay on your mat. It travels. It's felt by the person beside you, behind you, across the room. That's the Telluride magic. That's Thriving Together.
