Yoga as Remembering: Indigenous Perspectives on Embodied Healing

Sunday April 26, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am MST

Village Yoga Sedona - Event Space

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.

Awaken Your Heart Kirtan - Devotional Chanting Experience

Sunday April 26, 2026 6:30pm - 8:00pm MST

Tequa Ballroom

Join us for an uplifting and soul-nourishing Kirtan Devotional Chanting Ceremony, where music and mantra come together to open the heart, quiet the mind, and deepen your connection to the divine.

Through call-and-response chanting, we’ll explore the sacred sounds of ancient Sanskrit mantras, allowing their vibrations to uplift our spirit and create a profound sense of inner peace. Whether you’re new to Kirtan or a longtime chanter, this immersive experience will guide you into a state of joy, unity, and devotion.

Accompanied by harmonium, drums, and other traditional instruments, this gathering is a space to express, surrender, and celebrate—a journey into Bhakti (the yoga of love and devotion) that requires no musical experience, only an open heart.

Come ready to sing, sway, and immerse yourself in the transformative power of sacred sound. Let your voice be an offering, and let the music carry you home.

Kirtronica Ecstatic Dance with Jaya Lakshmi featuring Fiddler On The Rock and Gabriel Browne

Sunday April 26, 2026 8:00pm - 9:30pm MST

Tequa Ballroom

Kirtronica was born in 2009, a few years after the dis-banding of the tribal-trance-techno group Lost at Last in 2004, of which Jaya Lakshmi was the lead singer and songwriter from its inception until the end.

"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.
