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.

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.
