Love Shine Play Festival 2026

From a still glowing bead of dew to a floating blossoming white moon steeping quietly in the serene landscape of your heart, our body softens into Akash, spaciousness as we become our breath, that flows like a calm river through your body as you steep slowly, softening until the joints become quiet portals, melting any hidden tension while held by the earth. In the stillness of yin, the mind and body unfold naturally like petals opening to the morning light.

Vinyasa Flow is the practice of synchronizing movement with breath, creating a continuous rhythm that links effort and awareness. Rooted in the Iyengar and Ashtanga traditions, vinyasa also allows space for creative interpretation, psychological insight, and spiritual inquiry, making it a living, evolving practice rather than a fixed form.

Because of its fluid nature, vinyasa requires thoughtful sequencing and precise cueing to support stability, integrity, and safety. When done well, it builds strength without strain, mobility without collapse, and focus without rigidity. This class explores both the physical architecture and the subtle intelligence of vinyasa practice, emphasizing how alignment, breath, and transitions work together to support the nervous system and prepare the body for meditation.

We will move through the traditional arc of a vinyasa class, including Sun Salutations, standing poses, hip openers, backbends, forward bends, inversions, yin, and restorative postures. Along the way, we will examine breathwork, the relationship between effort and ease, as well as the benefits and potential risks of common postures.
This class is designed for students who want a deeper understanding of asana, and for teachers interested in how I organize, pace, and instruct vinyasa as both a technical and devotional practice.

Drop into your own power, rhythm, and radiance. This session moves you through an exhilarating fusion of dynamic yogic and somatic movement, rhythmic breathwork, and vibrant connection that invites your energy to rise and your spirit to wake up. Breath-infused sequences and liberating movement patterns help you access deeper reservoirs of vitality, clear emotional stagnation, and embody the frequency you want to live from. Expect moments of meditative self-inquiry, intention-led soundscape, and that unmistakable feeling of coming back online. You’ll walk away recharged and attuned to your own sacred rhythm.

Let go of everything you think yoga is and experience a movement class that’s challenging yet fun, fluid yet deeply educational.

Based on Eoin Finn’s groundbreaking new book Yoga Optimized, this Blissology session blends strong, feel-good movement with science-backed techniques to help you feel looser, stronger, and more alive not just today, but for decades to come.

Our motto is “yoga is a feeling, not a shape,” so expect to sweat, smile, and learn powerful tools that improve your body intelligence and expand your “movement span,” the number of years you can move with power, grace, and zero pain.

Come ready to flow, let go of emotional baggage, and experience yoga that heals, transforms, and makes you feel incredible from the inside out.

This highly informative and rigorous practice will help you expand your body awareness, increase your strength, and maximize your flexibility. Through targeted muscle engagements and joint alignments, you will learn how to change the way you sit, stand, move, and practice yoga. This class will empower and inform you on the necessary techniques that create long-lasting changes in your body.

Inspired by Buddhist mindfulness and nervous system regulation techniques, this session offers a deep reset for body and mind. Using Yin Yoga, breathwork, and meditation, we’ll cultivate the art of pausing—learning to move through life with more presence, creativity, and joy. Perfect for those craving stillness and a reset from life’s constant movement.

Your spine is your body’s central channel and when it moves well, everything feels better. This class blends strength work, mobility, and a fluid vinyasa flow to open up your front body, fire up your and strengthen your back body, and create a sense of spacious ease. We’ll move with purpose and heart, and play at the edge of what feels strong and open.

Your core is the body’s command center—the place where strength, stability, and intelligent movement begin. In Core Command, we dive into the powerful network that makes up the trunk of the body, integrating the pelvic floor, abdominals, hips, glutes, psoas, and hip flexors into one coordinated system of support and strength.

This dynamic, vinyasa-inspired practice builds deep, functional power from the inside out. Through mindful sequencing, controlled transitions, and breath-driven movement, you’ll activate the muscles that stabilize the spine, support posture, and create efficient, resilient movement patterns throughout the body.

Expect a strong, steady burn balanced with fluid mobility as we awaken the deep core, tone the glutes, strengthen the hips, and cultivate awareness of the pelvic floor—the subtle yet powerful foundation of the entire body.

Walk away feeling stronger, more connected, and fully in command of your center—moving with greater confidence, control, and ease both on and off the mat.

You don’t need to earn your rest.

In a weekend full of movement, this is your invitation to pause. Through guided breath, body awareness, and subtle visualization, you’ll be led into a state between waking and sleep—where the nervous system can finally reset.

There’s nothing to achieve here. No shapes to perfect.
Just space to soften, release, and receive.

This practice supports recovery, mental clarity, and deep restoration, so you can actually integrate everything else you’re doing.
You’ll leave feeling grounded, reset, and more like yourself.

An energizing journey that blends dynamic vinyasa yoga with qigong-based energy work to connect with and circulate prana throughout the body. Through breath-led movement and rhythmic transitions, you will cultivate vitality, clear stagnant energy, and reconnect with your inner radiance. The practice closes with a deeply calming soundbath that invites the body into deep rest and integration. Leave feeling spacious, radiant, and quietly luminous.

We live in a world that keeps us braced. The butt tightens, the hips grip, the shoulders creep toward the ears — and after a while, we stop noticing. The body simply becomes the place where the weight of uncertain times takes up permanent residence.
This workshop offers a systematic, deeply satisfying path back to greater ease. Drawing on somatic awareness, myofascial release, and nervous system science, we'll work through the body's most common stress-holding sites using tools that are accessible, effective, and immediately repeatable at home.

Together we will explore:

Therapeutic shaking and tremoring — one of the body's oldest and most underutilized self-regulation tools, used to discharge held bracing and reset the nervous system at its roots

Soft foam rolling for the hip flexors and glutes — the body's emotional core, chronically contracted in anxiety and stress, and profoundly responsive to patient, intentional release

Breathing practices for self-regulation — targeted breathwork that speaks directly to the autonomic nervous system, shifting us out of fight-or-flight and into a felt sense of safety

We'll close with a grounding yoga sequence to integrate everything the body has just released, helping you arrive back in yourself as a place you actually want to be.

Close The Love Shine Play Festival with a signature Blissology journey, a moving, breathing ceremony that gathers the energy of the weekend and turns it into something deeply personal and lasting.
Most people never pause long enough to get clear on what they truly want. This is your moment to listen.

We move through strong, fluid vinyasa to build heat, release tension, and open the body. Then we shift into breath and stillness, quieting the noise so something real can come through.
When the body opens, the mind follows.
When the mind is clear, your direction reveals itself.
From that place, we move into a closing ceremony together.

You will write a letter to your future self, the one shaped by what you choose, beginning now. Not a wish. A decision.
Stop bobbing around. Start surfing the waves of your life, the ones your future self will thank you for.
