Hanuman and Skillful Means
Sunday April 26, 2026 6:30am - 7:45am MST
Drawing on traditional stories of Hanuman from the great India epic the Ramayana, we will learn of his devotion to Ram and Sita and much more. He has much to teach us about love, service, skillful means, understanding our strengths and gifts, and being a yogi. As we explore some delightful stories about Hanuman, we’ll consider what they teach us about our lives as yogis.

We will enjoy some playful yoga asana, including some poses which take his name in a safe and aligned way. Options for different levels of practitioners will be provided. Join us as we celebrate this consummate yogi and what he can teach us about our own path of yoga.

How my body led me back to me
Sunday April 26, 2026 8:00am - 9:00am MST
In this deeply personal talk, board-certified naturopathic doctor and women’s hormone specialist Dr. Afrouz Demeri shares the unexpected diagnosis that changed the course of her life. At just 38 years old, despite dedicating her career to health, she was diagnosed with a cardiac abnormality that forced her to confront a powerful truth: the root cause of many physical symptoms is often not purely physical. Through her story—growing up in Iran, navigating difficult relationships, and facing a health scare she never saw coming—Dr. Demeri explores how the body speaks through symptoms when our spirit, emotions, and mind fall out of alignment. Blending science, lived experience, and practical wisdom, this talk invites participants to reconsider how stress, relationships, and social connection shape our health and longevity. Attendees will leave with a deeper appreciation for the body’s intelligence, a renewed perspective on the true roots of disease, and simple guiding principles for living in greater alignment with themselves.

Yoga as Remembering: Indigenous Perspectives on Embodied Healing
Sunday April 26, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am MST
Yoga, at its core, is a practice of remembering—remembering who we are beneath habit, trauma, and disconnection. Drawing from her lived experience as a member of Cochiti Pueblo, Kate invites participants into an embodied exploration of yoga as relationship rather than performance. This session offers accessible asana, breath work, and guided reflection, grounded in an Indigenous worldview that honors balance, listening, and responsibility to self and community.

Participants will experience movement and stillness as pathways to nervous system regulation and integration, with storytelling woven throughout as a form of medicine and meaning-making. Kate shares how ancestral wisdom and modern yoga philosophy naturally align through shared values of presence, reverence, and connection—without appropriation or romanticization. The practice emphasizes intuitive pacing, and space for personal insight.

Designed for both yoga practitioners and teachers, this session offers practical tools alongside deeper reflection. Attendees will leave with a renewed understanding of yoga as a living practice—one that supports healing, ethical leadership, and authentic service in a complex, modern world.

Eating for Alignment: How Food Supports Your Yoga Journey
Sunday April 26, 2026 10:30am - 11:30am MST
Eating for Alignment: How Food Supports Your Yoga Journey

In my practice, I use six steps to help yogis align body, mind, and soul through food and lifestyle. Over the last five years, I’ve guided more than 1,000 people with this formula, and it has proven to be a powerful foundation for wellness.

Here are the six steps we’ll explore together:

1.Know Your Body Type – discover your unique constitution and how it affects your practice.

2. Choose Supportive Lifestyle & Foods – align daily routines and meals with your energy needs.

3. Balance Digestion – strengthen the foundation of health through digestion.

4. Gentle Seasonal Detox – clear stagnation and reset the body with liver & gall bladder cleansing.

5. Balance the Five Elements – restore harmony at the cellular level after detox.

6. Make It a Habit – integrate small, lasting practices into daily life.

This session offers a comprehensive foundation—especially valuable for yoga teachers and beginners—to understand how food and seasonal practices can enhance yoga. What makes it unique is the blending of Mongolian traditional medicine, Tibetan medicine, TCM, and Ayurveda—ancient wisdom applied in a very practical way to support your yoga journey.

Revealing Pranic Awareness: A Guided Yoga and Vishoka Meditation Experience
Sunday April 26, 2026 10:30am - 11:45am MST
Prana, the dynamic power of life force expressed through the subtle face of breath, is revered as a profound yet elusive principle for modern yogis. While many are familiar with the concept, experiencing prana in a tangible, embodied way can often feel just out of reach.

In the Himalayan Tradition, cultivating pranic sensitivity through breath training and breath-aligned asana is considered a foundational skill. As this sensitivity deepens, it unfolds into a refined awareness of prana itself. This experience becomes the gateway to more advanced yogic practices, including Vishoka Meditation.

In this guided all-levels class, you’ll explore how breath training, breath-aligned asana, systematic relaxation, and foundational pranayama practices naturally awaken pranic awareness. You’ll also learn how this awareness is refined and applied through the transformative practice of Vishoka Meditation.

The Power of Thought: Crafting a Personal Mantra for Daily Life
Sunday April 26, 2026 10:30am - 12:00pm MST
We live in a constant swirl of thoughts, many of them critical, repetitive, or unhelpful. Left unchecked, these patterns can shape our inner state in ways that drain energy, cloud clarity, and limit possibility. Both yoga philosophy and modern neuroscience affirm what ancient sages intuited long ago: our thoughts matter. They influence our emotions, our physiology, and ultimately, our actions in the world.

This workshop is an exploration of the power of intentionally chosen thought. Participants will be guided through a process of reflection, awareness, and gentle reframing to uncover the thought patterns that most often drive their daily lives. With this awareness, we will turn toward the yogic tradition of mantra and the modern science of neuroplasticity to craft a personal mantra—an anchor for presence, resilience, and alignment.

The session will weave together teaching, journaling, and embodied practice. Through guided meditation, breath, and simple repetition, participants will learn how to “charge” their mantra and integrate it into both their spiritual practice and everyday life.

You will leave not only with a mantra designed uniquely for you, but also with a deeper understanding of the link between thought, feeling, and action—and a practical tool you can return to in moments of stress, transition, or self-doubt.

Healing Your Chakras & Raising Your Kundalini
Sunday April 26, 2026 10:30am - 12:00pm MST
Curious about Reiki, chakras, your aura, and how to clear and heal your energetic body? This workshop is a powerful journey through the **subtle body** — the energetic system that mirrors and influences our physical, mental, and spiritual health.

Just as the spine carries nerve impulses, the subtle channel *sushumna* carries prana, or life force, through spinning centers of energy known as chakras. When these centers are blocked, imbalance and illness can arise. By learning to balance and realign the chakras, we return to our natural frequencies of peace, vitality, and joy.

Through a blend of **asana, breathwork, visualization, and mantra**, Debbie Dixon — author, healer, and intuitive life coach — will guide you to recognize imbalance, clear blocked energy, and awaken the flow of prana.

Exploring the Divine Mirror in Every Connection
Join symbolic mythologist and teacher Manoj Chalam for a transformative talk on the Yoga of Relationships—a journey into how our human connections serve as sacred mirrors for awakening and growth.Manoj will bring in statues of Hindu and Buddhist deities to illustrate the ancient wisdom for modern times.  Drawing from Vedantic philosophy, Hindu mythology, and practical wisdom, Manoj weaves humor, storytelling, and insight to reveal how every relationship—whether romantic, familial, or communal—is an opportunity to deepen our self-awareness and align with higher consciousness.
In this engaging and accessible session, participants will explore:
• How relationships reflect the unresolved or enlightened aspects of the self
• Archetypes of divine love and union through the lens of deities and symbolism
• Tools for turning friction into fuel for evolution
• The path of devotion (bhakti) in human connection
With warmth and wit, Manoj invites us to see love not just as emotion, but as a spiritual practice—a yoga. Come ready to laugh, reflect, and leave with your heart a little more open and your relationships a little more sacred. 
Manoj will help you find your personal deity Goddess archetype

Break Free: 5 Sacred Ways to Overcome Anxiety, Trauma, and Fear
Sunday April 26, 2026 3:30pm - 4:30pm MST
This immersive lecture explores five transformative practices that draw from both ancient traditions and modern healing modalities. Uri Lee weaves together sacred breathwork, inner child healing, symbolic activation, herbal and superfood wisdom, and chi gong to provide participants with a multidimensional approach to releasing trauma and cultivating resilience. By blending timeless practices with integrative, cutting-edge methods, she creates a pathway for emotional, physical, and spiritual renewal.
Participants will be guided to understand how sacred breathwork calms the nervous system and opens the body to healing, while inner child healing therapy addresses the root of emotional wounds and unresolved trauma. Through symbolic activation, glyphs and archetypes become tools to re-pattern limiting beliefs and awaken coherence. Uri also introduces the healing potential of herbs and superfoods, showing how plant intelligence supports vitality and balance on a cellular level. Finally, gentle chi gong practices help release stagnant energy, restore flow, and ground participants in their bodies.
Together, these five pathways form a holistic system for overcoming anxiety, trauma, and fear. Participants will leave with practical tools they can immediately integrate into daily life — not only to restore balance and release stored imprints, but also to step into greater resilience, empowerment, and inner harmony.

Vibrational Flow: Breath, Alignment & Tuning Fork Meditation
Sunday April 26, 2026 3:30pm - 5:00pm MST
This guided class begins with self-applied tuning fork vibration to open subtle channels and heighten energetic awareness. Participants learn how to use sound as an internal compass, feeling vibration travel through bone and fascia while attuning their own energy field. This gentle yet powerful practice prepares the nervous system to receive the benefits of movement and breath with greater clarity and receptivity.

We then transition into an alignment-based Metaphysical Hatha Yoga® flow, combining mindful breathwork with precise, subtle cueing. Each posture is approached as a doorway into energetic balance — steady, grounded, and accessible while still intelligently challenging the body. The sequence builds awareness from the inside out, supporting students in cultivating both stability and fluidity.

The experience closes with a Yoga Nidra integration, offering deep rest and a full nervous system reset. This class is best suited for intermediate practitioners and students seeking energetic alignment through subtle yet informed cueing techniques as a catalyst for inner harmony and self-connection.

"I wanted to keep the vision of mantra and sacred prayers with EDM as we had in Lost at Last alive so I created 'Kirtronica' using Ableton Live. With 'Kirtronica', the aim is to get people chanting mantras in kirtan style while they were dancing. I used to do that on my own when I danced at raves in the 90's and always wondered, what if we could dance like this AND chant?"

The first 'Kirtronica' album was born in 2013, with chants to Ganesh, Sita-Ram, Ambe, Radhe, etc. The 2nd, 'Kundalini Kirtronica' came out in 2015 which has mantras connected to Kundalini Yoga practice and Sikh Dharma. Compositions include a variety of beats, such as house, trance, and chill/downtempo.

Both are available on most digital platforms, on Bandcamp and on Jaya Laskhmi's website.
