Remembering, together, that our body is a living temple, our breath is a sacred gift perpetually inviting us to both witness and experience the holy now.
Just as architecture relies on a considered foundation, balance, integrity, and intentional design ~ so too does our practice. Weaving grounding postures into vinyasa flow, allowing feeling to express with ease as we warm and open our bodies, preparing for a kriya to experience the divinity within. Moments of stillness and reflection are woven throughout, encouraging presence at the edges where intention takes form.
This is physical and spiritual, this is structural support and ever-expanding joy ~ this is the reminder that the treasure we seek is within.

Kundalini Express ~ Backbends & Breath Alchemy
LIMITED
Friday July 24, 2026 8:00am - 9:30am EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
One of the most profound contributions of the yoga tradition can be encapsulated in the phrase Kundalini Shakti ~ the serpent power that awakens at the base of the spine. This is the primordial energy that pierces through the layers of resistance and ultimately sets us free to express our full dynamic nature.

Awaken your serpent power in this uplifting practice of breath, backbends, and brilliance of being. This session will open with Sianna’s signature “Breath Alchemy” series, followed by a progression of backbends leading to full wheel pose with lots of fun variations along the way. Masood will bring the sonic alchemy with beats, hardpan, and mantra medicine.

Backbends untie the knots of the heart and free up stuck energy to enhance the whole bioenergetic system. This intelligent sequence pulses with symmetrical and asymmetrical backbends to build healthy alignment for practice and everyday posture.

Practice the alchemical way. Learn the ancient wisdom of the Kundalini Shakti and how to access superconscious states of being.

Rasa Yoga is a bhakti fusion of asana, mantra, mudra, myth, pranayama, meditation, functional anatomy, Tantric yoga philosophy, shadow work, and soul alchemy.

Strong is good. Sustainable is better.

This class is about building a body that actually holds up. We’ll focus on strength, mobility, and joint integrity, slowing things down where it matters so you can move better, not just more.

Instead of chasing intensity, we’ll refine the fundamentals that support everything else you do, whether that’s yoga, lifting, or daily life.

This is the work most people skip… and the reason things eventually break down.
You’ll leave feeling more connected, more capable, and with a clearer understanding of how to train your body for the long game.

Most people try to think their way into their next chapter. This workshop starts in the body instead. Participants use guided movement and dance to physically embody the version of themselves they're working toward, not as visualization but as direct somatic rehearsal. The coaching framework grounds the experience: identifying what they actually want, locating where resistance lives in the body, and using movement to shift it. Ends as a full dance party where the room collectively holds its intentions in motion.

Limited Capacity seats available
This immersive workshop weaves together the subtle wisdom of marma therapy, the transformative power of pranayama, and the heart-opening grace of bhakti-infused movement. Designed as a holistic journey inward, the experience invites participants to reconnect with their inner vitality, balance the nervous system, and cultivate a deep sense of devotion and presence.

The session begins with guided pranayama led by Mitesh Raichada, who will skillfully introduce breath practices to regulate energy (prana), calm the mind, and create a grounded, receptive state. Through intentional breathing techniques, participants will awaken subtle awareness and prepare the body for deeper energetic work.

Sneha Raichada will then guide an exploration of marma points—vital energy centers in the body rooted in Ayurvedic tradition. With gentle touch and mindful attention, participants will learn how to stimulate and balance these points to support physical, emotional, and energetic harmony.

Building on this awakened state, Seán Johnson will lead a gentle bhakti vinyasa sequence designed to open the heart and invite a sense of devotion and connection. Infused with music, mantra, and fluid movement, this creative practice encourages participants to move from the inside out with love and intention.

Together, these three modalities create a deeply nourishing and integrative experience—one that harmonizes breath, body, and spirit, and leaves participants feeling centered, uplifted, and connected to the heart.

Free your Hips and Hamstrings
LIMITED
Friday July 24, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
Tight hips and hamstrings are among the most common complaints in the human body — and among the most misunderstood. What we experience as stiffness or discomfort is often the result of years of accumulated tension, postural imbalance, and unaddressed trigger points that no amount of stretching alone will resolve. This is why your yoga sometimes doesn't help, like at all.

This hands-on, results-oriented workshop teaches you how to actually get into the tissue — using self-myofascial release and targeted trigger point techniques — so that the yoga that follows can land somewhere new.

We'll work systematically through the hip flexors, glutes, hamstrings, and surrounding structures to address:

Hip flexor pain and chronic tension — the hidden driver behind low back pain
Common hip and glute complaints — including piriformis tension
Pelvic stability and balance — because a well-released pelvis is a well-supported pelvis, and that foundation changes everything above and below it

We'll close with a yoga sequence designed to integrate and deepen the release work, so your body can actually receive and hold the openness you've created.
You will leave with a clear self-care protocol you can use at home — and very likely, hips that feel like they belong to a different body.

Holosomatic Breathwork Journey
LIMITED
Friday July 24, 2026 4:00pm - 5:30pm EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
Leave with a clearer mind, a lighter body, and a deeper connection to yourself.

This is a space to go inward. To listen, feel, and let something move.

Holosomatic Breathwork uses conscious connected breathing and music to shift your state of awareness. Over the course of three hours, we create a grounded, intentional container that supports you in exploring what lives beneath the surface.

We begin by arriving. The first hour is about setting the space, learning the technique, and understanding how to navigate your experience so you feel supported as you go deeper.

From there, you’ll move into a 60-minute active breathing phase. The music builds. Tribal, rhythmic, immersive. Loud enough to help you drop out of the thinking mind and into something more instinctual. This is where the experience opens.

People often describe this as a drug-free psychedelic experience. It can bring emotional release, clarity, connection to past experiences, or a sense of expansion that’s hard to name but easy to feel.

During the breathwork, you’ll be lying down on a yoga mat. You may want to bring an eye mask, a blanket or towel to cover up, or wear non-restrictive clothing. None of this is required, but it can support your experience. You will likely work up a sweat during the active phase.

The final portion of our time is dedicated to integration. This is where things begin to land. You’ll have space to rest, reflect, and, if you choose, share what came up. Integration is a key part of the process. It’s not something we rush.

This work can support nervous system reset, release stored tension, and bring awareness to patterns that usually stay out of reach. Many leave feeling more open, more grounded, and more connected to themselves and others.

We ask that you stay for the full session and help keep this space confidential. That’s part of what makes it safe enough to go there.

Please note: This practice is not recommended for those who are pregnant, have a history of seizures, cardiovascular conditions, severe asthma, recent surgery, or are currently experiencing acute mental health conditions. If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out or consult with a medical professional before attending.

Wild Waters is an invitation to come home to the body — raw, fluid, and unapologetically alive. Inspired by the untamed nature of water and the primal intelligence that lives within each of us, this sensual, rhythmic flow reconnects you with the sacred wisdom of embodied experience. Through spirals, circles, hip-led movement, wave-like transitions, and grounded breathwork, we explore instinct, pleasure, power, and presence. The practice emphasizes organic expression and intuitive movement, dissolving rigidity and inviting freedom, softness, and vitality.
 
Expect fluid shapes, sacral activation, and moments of stillness that allow sensation and inner knowing to rise to the surface. Breath, sweat, and movement become a language of self-trust — an intimate dialogue with the body that awakens joy and aliveness.
 
This offering is intentionally sultry, playful, and deeply grounding — a space to reconnect with the sensual experience of being human and to move from a place that feels untamed, authentic, and profoundly alive.

Limited Capacity seats available
You’re not broken. You’re not depleted. You’re angry. You’ve been making yourself smaller, quieter, more palatable, and the cost has been your fire. This immersion is for the woman who is done negotiating with her own life. We’ll begin with breathwork designed to regulate and activate, calming the nervous system first, then building energy through rhythmic breath patterns that wake up what has gone dormant. From there, Faith guides you through a fierce and honest reflective practice: where have you been leaking power? What boundary have you been afraid to set? What desire have you been calling “selfish” instead of calling it yours? The middle of this session moves into embodied expression, somatic movement, sound, rhythm, letting the body say what the mind has been censoring. We close with intention, boundary-setting, and a grounding meditation that doesn’t soften you back down. You’ll leave with fire you can actually use.

Yoga as Water for a World on Fire
LIMITED
Saturday July 25, 2026 12:00pm - 1:30pm EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
Yoga as Water for a World on Fire: Centering the great and universal vows of the beginning path of yoga is at the heart of the practice as well as the heart shape of this offering. Because the world is on fire. This is not a bypass, this is not feel-good glitter - this is an unflinching look at the reality of now. And, in response, how our devotion, our love, and our yoga are the medicine, the panacea, and the path.
Water offers the wisdom of ultimate adaptability, of cooling, flowing, giving life. Water teaches us to soften without collapsing, to recognize the vessel of now and respond with intention rather than urgency. Flowing like water, we meet resistance with patience, and we carve space through repetition. Rather than an escape or an avoidance of what is burning all around us, this is how we carry water, literally and metaphorically, to all life, including ourselves. To refresh, replenish, and especially to re-source – this is an act of care, not only for ourselves but for the world we inhabit.

The Practice as Sacred Alchemy: Magick, Ritual, and Yoga
LIMITED
Saturday July 25, 2026 2:00pm - 3:00pm EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
Magick is often described as the ability to shift energy through intention, and this is precisely what happens when movement, breath, and prayer are woven together with awareness. When practiced this way, yoga becomes an alchemical process, transforming contraction into expansion, fear into insight, and habit into conscious choice.

In this class, practice is approached as ritual. Movement becomes devotion. Breath becomes invocation. The body becomes a living altar through which we engage transformation not as an abstract concept, but as a lived, felt experience. When intention is embodied, yoga moves beyond exercise and becomes a means of aligning personal healing with something larger than the self.

Together, we will move through a soulful and intelligently sequenced practice that includes Sun Salutes A and B, standing poses, backbends, forward bends, inversions, meditation, mantra, mudra, and prayer.

Saturday July 25, 2026 2:00pm - 3:15pm EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
This is NOT a gentle practice. It is one of the most powerful active meditations in the world, and one of the most liberating.
Developed by Osho as a technique for modern bodies carrying modern stress, Dynamic Meditation moves through five stages over 60 minutes: chaotic breathwork, cathartic release (sound, free movement, letting the body express what it holds), a mantra jump, stillness, and celebration. The music guides each stage precisely.

Many people find this practice transformative on the first attempt. Others find it confronting. Both are welcome. What it asks is simple: show up, follow the stages, and let go of control. The meditation does the rest.

Appropriate for adults with no serious cardiac or respiratory conditions. Wear loose, comfortable clothing you can move and sweat in. Eyeshades strongly encouraged. Not recommended for those in acute emotional crisis or active trauma.

Sunday July 26, 2026 8:00am - 9:30am EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
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.

Authentic Relationships: Cultivate Fulfilling Connections with Astrology
LIMITED
Sunday July 26, 2026 10:00am - 11:15am EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
Join counseling astrologer and integrative mentor, Mary Kathryn Jackson, as we unlock the keys to building healthy, mutually supportive relationships where everyone feels valued, deeply known, and free to be themselves. Using astrology as a roadmap, we’ll explore communication styles, emotional temperaments, and relationship needs, teaching you how to work with each other, not against each other, so you can cultivate connections that are truly enriching and authentic.

Through practical and playful discussion, you’ll learn the range of relationship needs through the lens of astrology, helping you navigate your connections with clarity, compassion, depth, and freedom for individuality in togetherness. We’ll discuss communication prompts to apply in real-life relationship scenarios, offering you new perspectives on how to work well with your loved ones. This is about building and nurturing relationships where each person can thrive and grow — children, partners, family, and friends.

Whether you're new to astrology or have been studying it for years, this workshop offers fresh perspectives and practical tools to deepen your relationships and enhance genuine connection. All are welcome. Come alone or bring a friend. This will be a lecture and discussion learning experience (a fun and helpful one, at that!) Bring your notebook.

Release and Empower: A Breathwork Ceremony
LIMITED
Sunday July 26, 2026 10:00am - 11:30am EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
Release tension and connect with your intuition in this intimate breathwork ceremony.
After a short introduction on how to safely perform the breath, you’ll lie down, get comfortable, and be guided through active breathwork, set to carefully curated music to carry you through your journey inward. Afterwards, you’ll float away into bliss, clarity, and unconditional love in a deeply restorative meditation. We’ll close the ceremony with time for journaling to integrate the intuitive guidance received, and open the space up for supportive sharing and reflection.

This breathwork style is called ‘conscious connected breathing’, based on a circular and rhythmic three-part breath pattern. By activating new neural pathways in the brain, you will lift the veil to your subconscious mind. This allows the clarity of your intuition to come through with clarity, compassion, and multi-faceted awareness. There are no limits to what answers you may receive!

Please note that this can be a very intense style of breathwork that may cause some hyperventilation side effects. Not recommended for those with cardiovascular disease or heart/respiratory conditions (ex, high/low blood pressure, history of heart attacks or strokes, severe asthma), if you’re prone to fainting, or if you’re pregnant.

Please bring a cloth or an eye mask to cover your eyes!

Unclench: Somatic Myofascial Release for Anxious Times
LIMITED
Sunday July 26, 2026 12:00pm - 1:30pm EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
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.

Limited Capacity seats available
Sanctuary of Sound is a one-hour sound bath with gong, mindfully curated to offer deep rest, nervous system regulation, and a return to inner stillness. After some gentle stretching and breathwork, participants are invited to lie down comfortably and be held in a cocoon of resonant sound as waves of vibration from the gong move through the body and the surrounding space.
This is not a practice of doing, it is the ultimate “undoing”, a practice of receiving. The vibrations of the gong offer healing, refuge, and a reset – clear of habitual thought patterns, clear of stress, tension, and fatigue. This is the sanctuary of sound, the sanctuary where we allow our body to fulfill its inherent capacity for restoration, healing, and insight.
No experience is necessary. Simply arrive, rest, and allow sound to hold you.

Most people never pause long enough to get clear on what they truly want.

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.
