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?

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.

Healing the Inner Child: An Interactive Journey

Saturday April 25, 2026 3:00pm - 4:30pm MST

Canyon Patio

Inner Child Healing: An Interactive Journey is a hands-on workshop that invites participants to reconnect with and heal their inner child. Uri creates a safe ceremonial space for participants to gently uncover and transform the hidden wounds, emotional imprints, and forgotten parts of themselves that continue to influence their lives today.
Through regression practices, participants are guided to revisit early experiences with compassion, reframe limiting patterns, and reclaim aspects of their true essence. The Family Conscious Tree is introduced as a tool to reveal ancestral dynamics and generational influences, allowing participants to see how healing extends beyond the self into family lineage. In addition, partner exercises provide opportunities to be witnessed, practice trust, and experience the power of healing in community.
This interactive experience offers more than release — it opens the door to innocence, playfulness, and authentic self-expression. Participants will leave with a renewed sense of compassion for themselves, greater understanding of their ancestral and emotional patterns, and practical ways to continue nurturing their inner child in daily life.

Our stress levels are higher than ever, we are exhausted, and the quality of our sleep is at stake. In these challenging times, a country in crisis, financial and global instability, activism fatigue and a general “feeling off”, fatigue is a stress build up that makes us lose hope. Therapeutic Yoga for Rest is the “calling community in" we all need.

In this offering, Pamela will review how the overwhelm so many of us are experiencing can contribute to mental health challenges and exhaustion, and she'll offer yoga practices to decrease our collective tension and support our ability to rest and relax.

Participants will learn more about the root causes of fatigue, how lifestyle impacts all of it and how diet, yoga, meditation and other yoga techniques can help. We will explore evidence-based yoga tools to combat stress and fatigue, as well as regulate the nervous system and activate the vagus nerve.

"Change Your Lens, Change Your Life: Where Science Meets Spirit"

Saturday April 25, 2026 3:30pm - 4:30pm MST

Juniper Room

"What if the way you see the world is shaping the life you live? In this inspiring talk, visionary healer Debbie Dixon reveals how a simple shift in perspective can open the door to profound transformation. By changing the lens through which you view yourself, others, and your circumstances, you unlock new possibilities, dissolve limitations, and step into alignment with your highest truth.
Debbie bridges ancient wisdom with modern science—exploring Masaru Emoto’s groundbreaking work on how water molecules respond to intention, prayer, and meditation. She illuminates the power of belief through the placebo effect, showing how the mind can heal the body. Drawing on Maharishi’s transcendental meditation research, Debbie shares how the square root of 1% of a population practicing meditation can measurably shift collective consciousness, proving that inner change ripples outward to transform the world.
Through stories, practices, and perspective-shifting insights, Debbie invites you to reframe challenges as opportunities, to see through the lens of love, and to embody the truth that when you change your lens—you change your life. This isn’t just about outlook; it’s about awakening your power to reshape reality itself."

Canyon Ballroom

🌿 Echoes of the Earth — A Yin & Yoga Nidra Journey
This offering is a sanctuary of rest — a Yin and Yoga Nidra immersion inspired by Sedona’s elemental energy.
Through long, supported Yin holds and guided Yoga Nidra, we journey from the earth element (stability) to the sky element (expansion) — dissolving layers of tension and awakening the inner light of awareness.

Each breath becomes a thread connecting body, mind, and the sacred landscape — leading to profound stillness, grounding, and renewal.
As the body surrenders and the mind softens, consciousness expands into spacious presence — where silence itself becomes the teacher.

✨ Purpose:
To guide participants into deep energetic alignment and effortless awareness — where the body rests, the mind releases, and the heart remembers its luminous stillness.

The Power of Thought: Crafting a Personal Mantra for Daily Life

Sunday April 26, 2026 10:30am - 12:00pm MST

Palo Verde

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.

Break Free: 5 Sacred Ways to Overcome Anxiety, Trauma, and Fear

Sunday April 26, 2026 3:30pm - 4:30pm MST

Juniper Room

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.

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.
