Sri Shakti Abhishekam Ceremony

Friday April 24, 2026 5:30am - 7:30am MST

Tequa Ballroom

The Sri Shakti Abhishekam is a sacred Vedic ceremony dedicated to invoking the Divine Feminine, Shakti, the universal creative power that animates all of life. Led by Sanjay Soni, a world-renowned Vedic Astrologer and Vastu Consultant, this traditional ritual combines the ancient practices of mantra, flowers, water offerings to awaken inner radiance, balance the elements, and align participants with divine grace and prosperity.

Through sacred chanting, guided intention-setting, and the ritual bathing (abhishekam) of the goddess, this ceremony activates the energies of love, abundance, and higher wisdom. Participants are invited into a deeply meditative state, where devotion and vibration merge to dissolve obstacles and restore harmony on every level, body, mind, and soul.

Join us for this luminous sunrise ceremony to honor the Divine Mother within and around you. It is recommended to shower beforehand and refrain from eating non-vegetarian food that morning to maintain ritual purity. You may bring fruits or flowers as offerings if you wish. Prasad will be served after the ceremony.

Reset Flow for Posture: Preventing the Desk Body

Friday April 24, 2026 8:00am - 9:15am MST

Tequa Ballroom

Hours spent at a desk often lead to rounded shoulders, inhibited glutes, tight hips, and forward head posture—the “desk body.” These patterns not only create discomfort but also affect energy, focus, and long-term spinal health.

In this guided class, participants will move through a functional reset flow that blends yoga, Pilates, and corrective exercise. We’ll wake up the glutes and core, release chronically tight hip flexors and chest muscles, and strengthen the posterior chain to restore balance. Using mindful breathwork alongside targeted movement, this practice re-educates the body to sit taller, move smarter, and feel more energized.

This session is accessible to all levels and particularly valuable for yoga teachers, professionals, and anyone who spends time at a computer or behind a desk. Participants will leave feeling aligned, open, and equipped with practical movements they can incorporate into daily life to reset their posture and prevent injury.

Friday April 24, 2026 8:00am - 9:30am MST

Village Yoga Sedona - Event Space

Experience mind-body meditation using The Tristhana Method, a central practice in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. This holistic approach emphasizes the integration of three key elements: breath (Ujjayi Pranayama), posture (Asana), and gaze (Drishti). This method aims to cultivate a deep, meditative state by uniting these three aspects of practice, leading to a profound mind-body connection and spiritual awakening.

Breath control helps regulate the nervous system, calm the mind, and create a rhythm for physical movements. The Tristhana Method emphasizes proper alignment within each posture, ensuring stability and the engagement of the inner body/subtle body (bandhas). Drishti is the specific point of focus for the eyes during each asana, which helps to stabilize the mind and deepen the experience of pratyahara or one-pointed focus and concentration.

By consciously coordinating these three elements, the practitioners gain outer strength and inner equanimity.

Awakening Abundance: An Introduction to the Mantras of Sri Sukta

Friday April 24, 2026 10:30am - 12:00pm MST

Dry Creek Ballroom

Authentic tantra is the living legacy of an ancient tradition that viewed life and the world as a sacred gift of the Divine. These sages dedicated their lives to seducing the forces of nature—the manifest world of matter and energy, as well as the subtle world of consciousness—and discovering tools and means of unimaginable potency, capable of granting us lasting fulfillment and the experience of the Divine within. This is the source of the Sri Sukta.

The Sri Sukta is an ancient cluster of sixteen Vedic mantras dedicated to the Divine Mother Sri. Embraced as a master practice within the tantric tradition, these awakened mantras unfold as a sacred dialogue between Jatavedas Agni, the omniscient, sacred fire, and the seer. Together, they invoke the forces of abundance, nourishment, and lasting fulfillment to walk into our lives.

In this experiential workshop, we’ll explore essential principles of tantric philosophy through an introduction to the mantras of the Sri Sukta. While we’ll touch on the overarching themes of all sixteen mantras, our focus will center on the ninth mantra, which embodies the indomitable power of will and the healing potential of the Divine. Participants will learn traditional call-and-response pronunciation of this mantra and engage in a guided recitation of the complete Sri Sukta, deepening both understanding and practice.

Beyond Inhale & Exhale The Breath Map Yoga Forgot :The Hidden Curriculum of Breath

Friday April 24, 2026 10:30am - 12:00pm MST

Tequa Ballroom

Beyond Inhale & Exhale: The Breath Map Yoga Forgot
The Hidden Curriculum of Breath

Somewhere along the way, the yoga world reduced breath to cueing inhale, exhale, and perhaps adding ujjayi.

But breath is not a technique.

It is the single most intelligent anchor inside asana. It shapes nervous system tone, pranic direction, muscular effort, mental steadiness, and subtle awareness — all before we ever touch formal pranayama.

In this deeply layered and practical session, Arundhati B invites you into the hidden curriculum of breath. You will explore:

• The six distinct qualities of breath and how each alters a student’s internal experience
• The three-layered nature of breathing — physical, energetic, and perceptual
• How breath organizes effort, stability, and expansion inside postures
• Why reducing breath to ujjayi limits both teacher and student
• How to deepen breath literacy without turning your class into a pranayama workshop

This is not about adding more technique. It is about refining perception.

If you are a teacher, you will leave with sharper tools and a radically more intelligent way to cue. If you are a practitioner, you will experience how breath alone can transform the depth of your practice.

Join Arundhati B — global yoga educator and voice behind a new movement in breath literacy — as she reshapes how we understand and teach yoga through the breath.

The Heart of Shakti - Self-Empowerment through Mantra and Yoga

Friday April 24, 2026 10:30am - 12:00pm MST

Oak Creek Ballroom

“The Heart of Shakti: Self-Empowerment through Mantra and Yoga” explores the awakening of Shakti, the primordial feminine energy that animates all of life. Through the practices of nāda yoga (the yoga of sacred sound), bhakti (devotional practice), pranayama (breath work) and gentle āsana, this class opens a space to attune to the subtle body and connect more deeply with our inner source of strength, intuition, and compassion.

Drawing on the potency of Sanskrit mantra to clear and focus the mind, you’ll be guided to use your own voice as a means for liberation and empowerment. The repetition of mantra supports pratyāhāra—a drawing inward—so that the deeper layers of feeling and awareness can arise naturally.

We’ll create a sacred space where sound, movement, and intention merge into a powerful experience of inner alignment and remembrance - what a gift it is to realize Shakti as a living, powerful presence in your own heart.

You’ll explore:
• How to align your business, career, and investments with planetary timing for maximum results
• The karmic patterns shaping your relationship with money, and how to clear them
• Which planetary energies are most active in the rise of digital wealth and conscious enterprise
• Practical Vedic remedies to harmonize your path with abundance and dharma

Master the Nervous System, Master Your Life

Friday April 24, 2026 1:00pm - 3:00pm MST

Village Yoga Sedona - Event Space

Master the Nervous System, Master Your Life is the culmination of my life's experience and work. It utilizes polyvagal theory, breathwork, and yogic knowledge to take control of ones life. What sets this apart is the practical application work and integration that takes place.

Part 1 is the basics of the Nervous System, going deeper than just Fight or Flight/Rest and Digest. We start with the basics and move into Polyvagal Theory. Breaking the nervous system down into 3 parts, ventral, sympathetic, and dorsal. Ventral Vagal means safe and social. In this section we describe the benefits, symptoms, and how to shift into this system. We also learn about play in this section as well. Then we do the same for sympathetic, and dorsal.

Part 2 is how to shift in and out of each state. Utilizing the symptoms from part 1, we learn what state we are in. Next, we dive into how to shift between them, all the levers we can pull, and why a flexible nervous system is better than an optimized one.

Part 3 is YogaLand. This is where we bring parts 1 and 2 into the yoga space utilizing the elements and maha gunas. We apply the elements and sattva, rajas, tamas to polyvagal theory, the breath, and more. Finally, we practice and integrate. Utilizing scenarios, participants create programs for themselves and for example "clients".

Optimize Resilience & Strength Training

Friday April 24, 2026 1:00pm - 3:00pm MST

Tequa Ballroom

Resilience is a word that gets thrown around a lot but what I love about this word is that it implies a state of health that is adaptable to the pressures of life and allows us to be more injury resistant. The muscles get a lot of spotlight, and rightfully so, but when it comes to physical resilience the connective tissues are equally important. It’s easy enough to lift weights and increase our strength capacity at the gym but there is so much more to strength, like our functional capacity, movement efficiency, endurance, and the strength of our collagen matrix for injury resilience. After all, our muscles are only as strong as the connective tissue matrix that holds them together and allows them to transmit force. This class will investigate research-based practices that you can bring onto your mat to support your strength training. Tiffany has worked with professional athletes across the US and helped create the Nike Wellness Center programs (at Nike WHQ) and so brings a wealth of both cutting edge knowledge and depth of experience from her specialty in sports medicine over the past 30 years of her career. Whether you’re trying to enhance performance & strength, looking to help minimize injuries, or just wanting to function & feel your best this class will explore ways to train the tissues toward strength & resilience through our lifespan. This class takes a modern lens to our traditional asanas with plenty of information to help you bring the concepts home with you. All you need is some vinyasa experience, all levels are welcome.

No props needed but block & blanket would be great if available.

The Science of Stillness- Finding Calm in a World of Motion

Friday April 24, 2026 3:30pm - 4:30pm MST

The Collective Sedona - DECK

In a culture that prizes productivity and constant motion, stillness can feel elusive—or even uncomfortable. Yet both yoga philosophy and modern neuroscience affirm that stillness is not passive. It is an active state that restores balance to the nervous system, replenishes energy, and allows clarity and creativity to emerge.

This session explores the profound impact of stillness on the body, mind, and spirit. Through the lens of neuroscience, we will look at what happens in the brain and nervous system when we pause, rest, and turn inward. Drawing on yogic teachings, we will remember that stillness is a practice of returning home to ourselves, reconnecting with presence and inner wisdom.

Participants will be guided through experiential practices that make stillness accessible in daily life: breath awareness, micro-meditations, and gentle pauses that can be integrated into even the busiest schedule. Along the way, we will reflect on the barriers that keep us in motion and discover how small shifts toward stillness can transform stress into spaciousness.

You will leave with both a renewed appreciation for stillness and a toolkit of simple practices to ground, restore, and reconnect. Stillness becomes not just a practice on the mat, but a science-backed pathway to resilience and joy.

Embracing Higher Reality: Yoga Sutra’s Essential Teachings on the Divine Within

Friday April 24, 2026 3:30pm - 4:45pm MST

Juniper Room

Modern yoga is recognized as the quintessential path for personal growth and wellbeing through personal practice. We excel in our identity as the practitioner, and celebrate the sense of the agency which yoga helps us regain. A classical understanding of yoga, however, celebrates the intersection of self-effort and divine grace. It encourages us to recognize how the profound insights revealed by yoga are glimpses of a Higher Reality which surrounds us, and boldly inspires us to embrace that Higher Reality.

In this lecture and discussion inspired by the wisdom of the Yoga Sutra, explore the nature of Higher Reality known as Ishvara (Yoga Sutras 1:23-29), the relationship between self-effort and divine grace, and how we can reconcile yoga’s focus on self-effort with the notion of trustful surrender to the divine.

Bends, Beats & Brainspotting: A Workshop for Nervous System Embodiment

Friday April 24, 2026 3:30pm - 5:00pm MST

Palo Verde

This immersive workshop blends three powerful modalities—Yin Yoga, binaural sound, and Brainspotting—to guide you into deeper states of rest, release, and renewal.

Through the long, supported postures of Yin Yoga, you’ll soften into stillness and open subtle pathways in the body. Layered with the soothing frequencies of binaural beats, your nervous system is gently invited into balance, supporting a meditative and restorative inner state. Complementing these practices, Brainspotting offers a simple yet profound way of accessing the body’s innate wisdom, helping to release held patterns and invite emotional integration.

Together, these practices create a container for slowing down, reconnecting with yourself, and experiencing nervous system embodiment in a safe and supported way. Whether you are seeking relaxation, inner clarity, or a deeper mind-body connection, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to journey inward for nervous system embodiment.

Art of Dreaming + Living Workshop

Friday April 24, 2026 3:30pm - 7:30pm MST

Dry Creek Ballroom

In the Art of Dreaming + Living Workshop, Suzanne Toro guides participants through education with lucid dreaming, sound and electromagnetic therapy, storytelling through song, pranayama, and light asana, rooted in ancient dreaming yoga traditions. These practices unlock the subconscious mind and biofield, harnessing Sedona’s sacred energy to liberate karma and refine objective awareness across waking, dreaming, and sleeping states. Reflective journaling and mindful observation techniques empower attendees to integrate dream insights, fostering lasting spiritual growth.

During this workshop, Suzanne Toro will guide you through the Art of Dreaming + Living, drawing on her 25 years of holistic wellness expertise, with a robust foundation in education that informs her approach to dreaming yoga and spiritual transformation. Her studies in Psycho-Spiritual Therapy, Dream Analysis, PTSD & Human Psychology Therapy, Meditation, Karma, Mind Training, and Self-Love, cultivated over decades, equip her to lead participants in refining objective awareness across all states of being—waking, dreaming, and sleeping—liberating karmic patterns for profound growth. Additional training in Ayurveda, Meditation, Spiritual Laws of Yoga, Tibetan Dreaming Yoga, 200-Hour Yoga Certifications with Thai Yoga Therapy (2008, 2014), Psycho-Spiritual Chinese Medicine Counseling, Medical Nutrition Therapy (Lincoln University College, Malaysia, 2022), and Theta Healing (2004), alongside her Bachelor of Science (Arizona State University, 1994), provides a comprehensive foundation to foster spiritual clarity and freedom from karmic cycles.

The Lucid Dreaming Journey, the heart of the workshop, immerses participants in lucid dreaming, sound and electromagnetic therapy, storytelling through song, pranayama, and light asana, seamlessly woven from over 30 years of yoga practice. Guided dream journeys, rooted in ancient dreaming yoga traditions, unlock the subconscious mind and biofield, cultivating heightened awareness in waking and dreaming states to release karmic imprints. Sound therapy, pranayama, and soulful storytelling through song, amplified by Sedona’s sacred energy, empower participants to navigate life’s transitions with clarity and purpose, fostering a liberated presence across all states of being.

Integration Practices ensure lasting transformation by equipping participants with practical tools to anchor dream insights in daily life. Through reflective journaling, dreaming practices, and tailored observation techniques, attendees will develop a personal practice to sustain objective awareness and spiritual growth beyond the workshop. This immersive experience invites festival participants to awaken their infinite potential in Sedona’s sacred landscape, liberating karma and refining conscious awareness in this dynamic era of transformation.

Stillness as Medicine: Yoga Nidra and Ancestral Ways of Knowing

Friday April 24, 2026 7:00pm - 8:00pm MST

Oak Creek Ballroom

In a world of constant stimulation and urgency, the nervous system often remains in a state of heightened alert. This session invites participants into deep rest through a yoga nidra practice that integrates breath awareness, guided imagery, and storytelling. Drawing from her background as a board-certified music therapist and her lived Indigenous lineage as a member of Cochiti Pueblo, Kate Herrera Jenkins offers rest as both medicine and remembrance.

Story is woven gently throughout the practice as a regulating and integrative force, honoring Indigenous traditions where story serves to orient, teach, and restore balance. You will be guided through accessible practices and prolonged stillness designed to support safety and nervous system regulation. Rather than bypassing experience, the session emphasizes presence, listening, and connection—allowing the body to process and integrate without effort or performance.

Designed for yoga practitioners, teachers, and wellness professionals, this offering bridges science and soul. You will leave with a deeper understanding of breath as regulation, story as integration, and stillness as resilience, along with practical tools you can incorporate into personal practice or professional settings.

Village Yoga Sedona - Event Space

After this talk you will never again be able to claim that you do not know how to heal yourself or how to love yourself.

Join international bestselling author Blake D. Bauer for an in-depth meditation experience followed by a talk that will clarify why suffering like anxiety, negative thinking, depression, addiction, self-sabotage, illness and relationship problems are logical cries from your body, soul and subconscious mind asking you to slow down and finally love, value, accept, forgive and be true to yourself now, in every situation.

Blake will share the 7 Optimal Habits & Universal Laws each of us must master to heal, to create what we want, and to find lasting peace. These practices represent EXACTLY HOW TO love and value yourself, and thus reshape your life and your relationships with deep self-respect, kindness, and worthiness. From the moment we wake until the moment we sleep, we’re either hurting ourselves with our thoughts and habits, or we’re caring for ourselves. Learn how to end self-harm, how to heal guilt and fear, how to trust yourself, and how to fill your body, mind, and life with healthy love.

You - your existence - is a miracle that most of us take for granted. If you're ready to stop hurting yourself and to stop allowing yourself to be hurt, this event will offer you the breakthrough clarity and no b.s. practical steps you're looking for.

Blake D. Bauer is the author of the international bestselling and widely translated book You Were Not Born To Suffer. He has helped tens of thousands of people who could not find lasting solutions from conventional medicine, psychiatry, or coaching. Blake has an extensive background in psychology, neuroscience, Chinese medicine, nutrition, traditional healing, mindfulness meditation, qi gong, zen, taoism, and buddhist practices. Based on both his personal experience overcoming deep suffering, addiction, and adversity, as well as his professional work with over 100,000 people worldwide, his teachings integrate what he's found to be the most effective approaches to optimal mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health.
