Awaken the radiant power within.

In this energizing and soulful vinyasa flow, Amanda Giacomini guides you through a creative sequence designed to enliven the senses, awaken the body, and ignite the inner flame of Shakti—the vibrant life force that lives within us all.

Through rhythmic movement, breath, and fluid transitions, we’ll build heat, open the heart, and activate the pathways of creative energy in the body. Expect a dynamic yet intuitive flow that invites you to move with freedom, reconnect with your instincts, and feel fully alive in your skin.

This practice is an invitation to embody your power—playful, sensual, strong, and radiant. Come ready to sweat, breathe, and rise into your full feminine glory.

Leave feeling lit up, empowered, and deeply connected to the creative pulse moving through you.

Arm balances are some of the most fun, exciting, and challenging poses of the yoga practice. They can also be intimidating and discouraging without the proper technique and guidance. This workshop will provide you with a step-by-step approach to build your confidence and help you focus on the key points that will unlock a wide range of arm balances. Each technique provided will be shared with the utmost attention to detail, providing you with the highest level of clarity.

The real potential of vinyasa yoga lies within the dynamic transitions. It is in the space between where we find true functional strength and the ability to move with intention and purpose. This class is designed to help you own those moments and to develop the control to slow a movement down, pause it, or even reverse it mid-air.

We’re moving beyond standard crunches to explore what true core stability actually feels like in a dynamic practice. It is this same presence and stability that we embody to steady ourselves between the poses that allows us to navigate the undulating transitions of life with grace and resilience. Expect a movement class that tests your balance, refines your technique, and leaves you with a more robust, unshakable foundation for every kind of flow.

Shoulder openers dissolve tension and tightness in your shoulders, and learn the biomechanics that make it easy! Many of us fall into patterns where we believe if we continually repeat an action, our goals will eventually work out. This only rings true when we are repeating a recipe for success. Matt Giordano will offer you a yoga practice that gets you into your body and gives you a strong understanding of a complex joint that can otherwise be a bit of a mystery. Having rehabilitated his own shoulder from a nearly shattered collarbone and fractured scapula, Matt’s knowledge speaks from experience and an excitement to share the tools he has picked up along the way. Boundless Freedom is appropriate for all levels.

Join Tymi Howard Bender for a deeply immersive journey into MYT — Meridian Yoga Therapy, where yoga, breath, and subtle energy practices come together to awaken the body’s natural healing intelligence.
Rooted in the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the transformative practices of yoga, this class explores how movement, breath, and intentional touch can stimulate the body’s 12 primary meridian pathways—the energetic rivers that influence our organs, emotions, vitality, and overall well-being.
Through intelligently sequenced asana, pranayama, meridian-based cueing, and guided energy awareness, you’ll experience how yoga can be used as a powerful tool for balancing the nervous system, releasing stagnant energy, and restoring harmony between body, mind, and spirit.

• Meridian-inspired yoga sequencing
• Breathwork to regulate and energize the nervous system
• Self-acupressure and acupressure point activation
• Hands-on assists and energetic awareness

• Healing mantra to support clarity and self-realization
This class is designed to be both educational and experiential, offering insights into the energetic anatomy of the body while leaving you feeling open, balanced, and deeply restored.
Perfect for yoga practitioners, teachers, healers, and curious seekers who want to experience yoga as movement, meditation, and energy medicine all in one practice.
Come explore the place where ancient wisdom meets modern embodiment—and leave feeling energized, centered, and connected 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.

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.
