Happier & Healthier: Building Your Daily Sadhana is a 60-minute workshop for anyone ready to align their lifestyle with yogic wisdom and inner joy.

This session is both practical and heart-centered, guiding you to build consistency without rigidity, and discipline that feels like devotion.

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".

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.

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.

Why Am I So Tired?

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

Oak Creek Ballroom

Why Am I So Tired?

Nearly one-third of Americans are sleep deprived according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Other studies have linked the lack of sleep to depression, a weaker immune system, memory and cognition issues, as well as obesity, high blood pressure and fatigue. The CDC calls this pervasive lack of sleep a "public health epidemic”.

The first part of the workshop, “Why Am I So Tired?” will cover the following topics:
• Rest as resistance
• Are naps necessary?
• Getting better sleep for the best life
• Listen to you body

The second part of the workshop will include an embodied practice of somatics, restorative yoga, and yoga nidra.

Join Sound-Healer and multi-instrumentalist Viola Rose for a sacred sound journey where you can lie down, close your eyes, and drift and dream to the sounds and vibrations of many different instruments played for you and over you. Multiple gongs for clearing and balancing, heart-opening handpan, native flute, drum, chimes, crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, monochord, improvisational celestial song and more.

Merging ancient mantra, storytelling with the contemporary. The Inner Fire creates a living tapestry of vibration that speaks to the soul’s deepest knowing. Each piece unfolds like a ritual bringing forth the power of voice to elemental frequencies guiding the listener into states of expansion, tenderness, and inner awakening.
