Pre-conference IMMERSION: VybYoga™ The Science of the Somatic Reset (add-on)

A 5-Hour Immersion with Dr. Sundar Balasubramanian (half on the red rocks, half in the classroom)
In 2026, the frontier of wellness is not just in how we move, but in how we vibrate. Join us for a comprehensive 5-hour immersion into VybYoga™, a proprietary practice from PranaScience that turns your own body into a laboratory for healing.
This is a journey into Active Resonance. We harness the body’s natural frequency through rhythmic mechanics and breath to generate healing responses from the inside out. Grounded in the research of the PranaScience Institute, this intensive explores the Systemic Triad: the critical intersection of the Neuro, Immune, and Circulatory systems.
The Immersion Curriculum:The Mechanical Prime (Active Resonance): Learn to generate endogenous (self-generated) vibration through specific rhythmic movements to “fluidize” the fascia. By tapping into your natural frequency, we lower interstitial pressure and make the tissue more receptive to systemic repair.
Coherent Music & Rhythm: Practice within a sonic environment of coherent music designed to harmonize with the body’s innate rhythms. This auditory anchor works in synergy with your movement to synchronize biological systems and deepen your internal resonance.
PranaScience Breathing & Vagal Toning: Led by Dr. Sundar, learn specialized breathing techniques incorporated into the practice. We focus on strengthening the “Vagal Brake” to shift the nervous system from a state of stress to deep recovery.
Systemic Flux: Experience how the synergy of self-generated vibration, coherent sound, and intentional breath facilitates a “cellular washout,” clearing metabolic waste and optimizing the environment for your immune system to thrive.
The ExperienceThis 5-hour format allows practitioners and teachers to move past the “how” and into the “why” of their practice. This is a journey of Mindful Agency—achieving a state of absolute internal equilibrium where you are both the instrument and the conductor.
“Don’t just be a passenger in your practice. Become the flow.”
Flyer Sidebar / Quick Facts:Format: 5-Hour Intensive (Single Day)
Focus: Mechanobiology, Systemic Flux, and Vagal Tone.
The Method: 100% Active Resonance.
Features: PhD-led research insights, Coherent Music, and PranaScience™ protocols.

Pre-conference Immersion: Awaken: A Red Rock Chakra Ritual (add-on)
Thursday April 23, 2026 10:30am - 1:30pm MST
This is a ticketed add-on. If you would like to join please register for the immersion at this link. 

Awakening dormant potential, we move from the deep roots of the earth to the expansiveness of the sky, activating an entire channel of energy within your body.

Your vibrant system of energy — the seven powerful portals known as the chakras — influence your physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.

Enjoy a multi-sensory experience to clear and energize the system with strong, fluid, chakra-inspired yoga sequences, breathwork, meditation, expressive movement and sounding.


This is not just a class — it is a chakra ritual. A space to reconnect with your body’s wisdom, align with your inner power, and remember the radiant version of you that’s ready to rise.

Open to practitioners at all stages, this experience offers both a potent initiation and a deepening for those already on the chakra path.

Come ready to move, feel, release, and awaken — supported by the land, the breath, and the living energy within you.

When these centers are awake and energy is flowing, we feel grounded, creative, courageous, and free.

Practicing outdoors amplifies the work — the Earth becomes our root, the vast sky our crown, and the land a place of transformation.

Requirements & Preparation: Mobility & fitness level: All participants must be capable of hiking 2-3 miles on uneven surfaces as well as navigate various gradients of terrain without the assistance of a walking aid or third party. Each participant must maintain a current health level that is conducive to hiking at 4000 + elevation without jeopardizing the safety of self or others.

Opening Ceremonies, Keynote with Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, and Resilient Beings Immersive Music with Max Ribner
Thursday April 23, 2026 6:00pm - 9:30pm MST
Join us as we gather for an intentional start to the 14th Annual Sedona Yoga Festival. 

Keynote: Doorway to Inner Prosperity with Pandit Rajmani Tigunait Peace and predictability are the foundations of prosperity and lasting happiness. Yet since World War II, these qualities have never felt more scarce than they do today. In this moment of global uncertainty, each of us is being called to reflect on our personal dharma and to discover a reliable path toward inner clarity, stability, and confidence.

To move forward, we must rekindle trust in ourselves, in our resolutions, and in our capacity to bring meaningful change to both our inner and outer worlds. The time-tested wisdom of the sages reminds us that such trust goes hand in hand with inner security, peace, and lasting prosperity.

As a leading authority on yoga, tantra, and the living tradition of meditation, Pandit Tigunait will share a profoundly relevant and empowering dimension of this ancient science, which has guided humanity for millennia. This is a message none of us can afford to miss.
