The Holy Wake-Up Call: A Mid-Life Awakening
Full
Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.
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.

The Power of Purpose: Living With Intention from the Inside Out
Open
Limited Capacity seats available
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.

Align Your Words Like You Align Your Posture
Open
Limited Capacity seats available
This workshop is designed to bridge the gap between your yoga practice and your relationships.
You stretch your hamstrings. You strengthen your core. But how often do you practice the flexibility of your mind and the strength of your empathy? Why is it so easy to find balance on the mat, but so hard to keep it in our conversations?
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is often called the "Yoga of Speech." It helps us navigate conflict without losing our center.
Stop leaving your yoga on the mat. Come learn how to:
  • Untie the Knots: Identify the hidden needs behind your "negative" emotions so you can respond rather than react.
  • Find Your Center in Conflict: Learn to speak your truth clearly without blaming or shaming others.
  • Deepen Your Relational Flow: Transform arguments into opportunities for intimacy and connection.
This isn’t a lecture—it’s a lab. We will roll up our sleeves (and unroll our mats) to practice the art of compassionate speech.
Are you ready to stretch your heart as deep as your hamstrings?

Thriving Together: Yamas (ethics) in Life

Vitality & Longevity: Recovery & Rhythm
In this session, we’ll explore stress and recovery and why feeling energized, present, and fulfilled depends on learning how to move between effort and ease. We’ll look at what recovery really is, and what it isn’t, and why rest alone doesn’t always restore energy. This talk introduces the idea of oscillation, the natural rhythm between activation and recovery that supports a healthy nervous system and a meaningful life. Expect practical insights that help make stress more workable, presence more natural, and energy more sustainable, both on and off the mat.

The Ache in Your Heart Is Holy: Remembering the Truth of Who You Are

Flow State: Flow and the Art of Meeting the Moment
Open
Limited Capacity seats available
Flow is a peak experience that emerges when challenge meets ability. Flow is a state of full presence where effort feels natural and time seems to disappear. In this session, we’ll explore why chasing flow often pulls us out of it, and how learning when to stretch and when to steady yourself creates the conditions for flow to arise. You’ll reflect on how to find your “right edge,” both in practice and in life, so challenge feels intentional rather than forced. Expect practical insights you can bring onto the mat and into everyday moments of work, relationships, and movement as you leave the festival and return home.
