Daily Rhythms for Vitality: Dinacharya Made Simple

Saturday April 25, 2026 8:30am - 10:00am MST

Palo Verde

Transform your daily grind into a rhythm of vitality, ease, and balance! In “Daily Rhythms for Vitality: Dinacharya Made Simple,” you’ll explore the playful side of Ayurveda as we break down morning, midday, and evening practices that energize the body, focus the mind, and soothe the spirit. From gentle movement and breathwork to self-care rituals and mindful pauses, you’ll see how small shifts create big results.

This interactive session invites you to try mini rituals in class, reflect on your own patterns, and discover how to weave Ayurveda into your modern life without overwhelm. Learn why each practice matters, how your dosha influences your energy and digestion, and fun ways to make these habits stick.

By the end, you’ll leave with a personalized daily rhythm blueprint, practical tips for integrating self-care into busy schedules, and a spark of inspiration to turn everyday routines into joyful rituals that keep you balanced, resilient, and thriving. Simple, playful, and powerful—this class shows how Ayurveda can be your daily superpower.

Tuning Fork Self-Attunement & Energetic Clearing: A Nervous System Reset

Saturday April 25, 2026 9:00am - 12:00pm MST

Village Yoga Sedona - Event Space

Sound is medicine — and you can apply it to yourself. In this workshop, we explore how tuning forks deliver precise frequencies through bone, fascia, and the subtle body to release tension and support deep nervous system balance. You’ll learn the basics of resonance, frequency, and subtle-body energetics, combined with simple breathwork and gentle movement to prepare your system for sound.

Participants will then practice self-administered tuning fork attunements — placing vibration at key bony and energetic points to dissolve stagnation, reset the nervous system, and invite clarity. We close with a guided integration to maintain balance and energetic hygiene.

Harnessing Energy and Movement to Transform the Self

Saturday April 25, 2026 10:30am - 11:30am MST

Juniper Room

This session blends storytelling, yoga philosophy, and evidence-based movement science to explore how yoga and Pilates serve as vessels for resilience, recovery, and self-discovery. I’ll share how my practice carried me through a devastating trimalleolar ankle fracture—an injury that required 14 screws—and how mindful movement not only rebuilt my body but rewired my mindset. We’ll examine how yoga and Pilates literally “turn on” the body in times of injury or challenge, building new neural connections, enhancing cognition, and strengthening our ability to bounce back.

Participants will walk away with both inspiration and practical insight: how to set process and outcome goals, how intrinsic and extrinsic cues can motivate long-term change, and how consistent practice creates resilience that extends far beyond the mat. This is a talk designed for teachers and practitioners alike—anyone ready to explore how energy, movement, and mindset weave together to transform the self.

Voices of Compassion: A Talking Circle of Connection

Saturday April 25, 2026 5:30pm - 6:45pm MST

Palo Verde

In this experiential offering, we gather in circle — a timeless practice of equality and presence — to honor the power of listening (śravaṇa), not for the sake of being heard, but to truly seek understanding. This sacred shift — from the desire to be understood toward the intention to understand — opens a doorway to karuṇā (compassion) and sangha (community). Together, we create a container where trust (śraddhā) and presence can flourish.

The circle begins in silence, followed by an introduction to the theme of compassion and connection, including the obstacles that often prevent us from fully embodying these qualities. With the support of a talking stick passed hand to hand, participants are invited to share their reflections in turn, free of judgment, advice, or interruption. Each voice is honored, each story stands alone, and each contribution is received in collective presence — an expression of true satsang (gathering in truth).

Eva Maurice, spiritual counselor and enlightenment educator, has been guiding talking circles for over 16 years. She holds deep respect for this tradition and invites both seasoned practitioners and first-time participants to enter the circle with openness and reverence. We close with meditative silence, sealing the experience in gratitude and unity. Participants leave with a renewed sense of compassion, belonging, and the embodied wisdom that listening is itself an act of love.

Sound Healing and Electromagnetic Balancing

Saturday April 25, 2026 6:30pm - 8:00pm MST

Oak Creek Ballroom

Suzanne Toro, a visionary Holistic Wellness Practitioner and Sound Therapist, brings over 25 years of expertise in wellness, yoga, and energy work to this 90-minute Sound & Electromagnetic Healing Session. Her extensive training in sound therapy, Psycho-Spiritual Therapy, Ayurveda, Meditation, 200-Hour Yoga Certifications with Thai Yoga Therapy (2008, 2014), and Medical Nutrition Therapy (Lincoln University College, Malaysia, 2022) equips her to guide participants toward profound relaxation and balance. Rooted in ancient practices, her approach harmonizes the biofield, fostering inner peace and spiritual clarity in Sedona’s sacred landscape.

The core of this session immerses participants in a transformative blend of sound therapy, electromagnetic energy work, gentle asana, and pranayama, designed to release tension and restore equilibrium. Immersive sound baths, using resonant frequencies from instruments like tibetan bowls-native american wooden flutes, recalibrate the body’s energy field, while pranayama and light asana sequences, drawn from over 30 years of yoga practice, deepen breath awareness and physical ease. Set in Sedona’s sacred energy, this healing journey empowers attendees to dissolve stress and connect with their inner harmony, cultivating a radiant state of presence.

Participants will leave with practical tools to sustain the session’s benefits, integrating mindfulness and breathwork into daily life for ongoing balance and spiritual growth. Through guided relaxation and subtle energy alignment, this session fosters a renewed sense of clarity, calm and vitality. Suzanne invites festival attendees to embrace this transformative experience, harnessing Sedona’s sacred vibrations to awaken their infinite potential and thrive in this dynamic era of transformation.
