Love Shine Play Festival 2026

True balance isn’t a static destination you reach; it is a dynamic, ever-shifting dance that requires your steady presence. Rather than a fixed point of perfection, it is a continuous process of tiny adjustments and mindful refinements in response to life's movement. By exploring physical postures that test this steadiness, we will learn to embody this fluidity and practice the real-time corrections needed to stay connected to your center.

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.
Expect a dynamic yet grounding practice that weaves together:
• Meridian-inspired yoga sequencing
• Breathwork to regulate and energize the nervous system
• Self-acupressure and acupressure point activation
• Hands-on assists and energetic awareness
• A guided Meridian Circuit body scan
• 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.

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.

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.
