The Sound Meditation is a transportive sonic journey meditation which starts with a 1hr+ talk about sound, spirituality, and consciousness. It’ll be followed by breathing exercises, toning and vocalization, and guided visualizations to bring the body to a state of attunement to go inward, which will be followed by the sound work with a collection of instruments such as gongs, Himalayan singing bowls, and other various overtone-rich instruments.
The goal is to enable participants to disengage their undesirable habitual patterns and to empower positive cognitive change.
Breathwork is an active meditation practice that uses a repetitive breath pattern to drop into an altered state. A powerful self-healing practice, breathwork can help you shift out of old patterns, confront limiting beliefs, and move stuck emotions. Regular practice allows you to experience more clarity, bliss, and presence.
George Ramsay is a certified breathwork facilitator who has worked with over 500 clients and companies. He’s been invited into law firms, tech companies, nonprofits, and schools who want to integrate coaching, enneagram, and breathwork to support cultural transformation and well-being. With a background in education, George creates a comfortable environment where everyone feels fully informed of the practice. As a result, everyone gets something in return. He is known for bringing harmony and ease in the midst of big transformation. George currently lives in Asheville, NC.

Instill Bondage Meditation + Vinyasa: Sweat & Stillness With Adam Lamb and Fahria Omar
Step into a guided ceremonial experience where breath, ritual, and stillness weave together in the art of surrender. This unique practice combines vinyasa yoga, gentle bondage, meditation, and ceremonial elements to create a safe and supportive container for release.
The evening begins with a grounding entry ritual — a light anointing with essential oils sets the intention of trust and surrender.
From there, Adam will guide a 30-minute all-levels vinyasa flow, awakening the body through mindful movement and breath. The sequence gradually cools into soothing yin postures, inviting stillness and receptivity.
From this softened state, participants will share in a ceremonial tea of blue lotus, chamomile, rose, and other heart-softening herbs, led by Fahria — a gentle transition from movement into stillness.
From there, we enter the bondage meditation practice. Through gentle binding and surrender, you are invited to rest deeply, to let go of control, and to experience the healing qualities of being safely held.
The evening concludes with a careful unwinding, grounding breath, and an integration circle facilitated by Fahria, inviting reflection, connection, and grounding before departure.
✨ This experience is open to all levels. No prior experience with yoga, bondage, or meditation is required. ✨ All materials are provided. Please wear comfortable clothing that allows ease of movement.

Breath and Spine: A 3-Dimensional Perspective This session looks at breath cueing in asana practice. Typically inhaling is linked to spinal extension (back-bending) and exhaling to spinal flexion (forward-bending). While these standard cues are an ideal way to introduce the idea of connecting breath to movement, there are many other possibilities. This workshop will present a series of explorations that explores those possibilities, opens the breath and spine to new dimensions of freedom, and highlights the unique nature of individual experience in yoga practice.
Twist, Don’t Break – Twisting Poses, From the Inside Out
Axial rotation is the anatomical term for twisting of the spine. Understanding the structural core of twisting postures, known in yoga as “Parivritti,” reveals the critical role that breathing plays in safely accomplishing these complex movements. In this practice-oriented workshop, Leslie will review the key structures of the spine and breathing mechanism that can contribute to (or sometimes interfere with) the twisting actions of the body. The positions of sitting, standing and supine will be explored, as well as the role of binding and twisting’s effects on our physiology.
As mammals of the genus homo, we have been walking erect for about 2 million years. Yet, in what amounts to an evolutionary blink of an eye, natural organic ground has literally been pulled out from under us, as we have leveled, paved, and otherwise smoothed out the unpredictable terrain our feet evolved upon. Add to this insult the injury of restrictive footwear and we in the industrialized world have an epidemic of physical ills that can be traced back to our compromised foundations. This workshop will delve deeply into the history, structure, function and retraining of our feet as the foundation for a healthy asana practice and for living more fully functional lives as happy bipeds.
Leslie Kaminoff is a yoga educator inspired by the tradition of T.K.V. Desikachar. He is an internationally recognized specialist with four decades’ experience in the fields of yoga and breath anatomy. He leads workshops for many of the leading yoga associations, schools and training programs in the world.
