Flip the Script: An Inversions Immersion with Kirra Michel

Open

Thursday June 25, 2026 9:00am - 12:00pm MDT

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.

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.

the body, build heat, improve flexibility, and calm the nervous system.
All levels are welcome. Modifications and variations will be offered throughout the practice
to support beginners while still providing depth and challenge for more experienced

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.

Expect an intelligently sequenced, strength-meets-flow practice designed to focus the mind, awaken the heart, and unify breath with movement. As the body moves, attention sharpens; as attention steadies, meditation arises naturally.
