The Sound Meditation is a transportive sonic journey meditation which starts with a 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.
The class is an inward journey using the science of Raja Yoga. Explore Sun Salutations with bandhas and ujjayi breath, fundamentals of the Ashtanga yoga system. Follow intelligent sequencing from the Ashtanga and Iyengar traditions. The poses are held to explore expansion and extension and to allow the student time to incorporate B.K.S. Iyengar principles of precision and alignment. The teaching adjusts to the individual, a belief practiced in Viniyoga. This transcendental method of involution to achieve evolution will bring us in contact with our layers of existence, koshas, to realize awareness and consciousness necessary to experience sukkha.
This is an invitation to participate in the spinning action of the universal life force. Accessing the vortexes of energy arranged along the spinal column enables the ability to unlock stagnant emotions. Utilizing mindful actions, asanas, and mindful breathing, pranayama, experience the freedom that arises from influencing the flow of energy. The chakras have the power to vitalize the body and mind.

Through the Medicine Wheel, you will explore these various states of consciousness …
– South (Unconscious State) – Let go of old wounds, aches and pains that are trapped in the body as unexpressed energy
– West (Subconscious State) – Improve your relationships by releasing limiting beliefs that create friction in how you relate to yourself and the world around you.
– North (Conscious State) – Connect to ancestral wisdom to gain clarity and purposeful vision for moving forward from where you are right now.
– East (Superconscious State) – Receive the energetic upgrade from your higher guides and the sacred geometry of your soul’s blueprint through insights from the invisible world.

Yoga Sequencing Lab with Francesca Bove & Zaina Budayr
Teaching yoga is an art, and over time, it’s easy to fall into familiar patterns, relying on habit rather than exploration. This workshop is an opportunity to break free from routine, refine sequencing skills, and rediscover creative expression in teaching.
Sequencing is more than just linking poses—it’s the foundation of how we shape an experience. Rather than relying on standard Vinyasa templates, we’ll work with improvisation, movement quality, and creative problem-solving to expand sequencing vocabulary through the Prop & Flow/Viale Method. Through guided exercises and real-time experimentation, participants will explore how to break the structure of what they know, articulate ideas with greater clarity, and design classes that feel dynamic and inspired.
Expect an immersive, hands-on experience where we’ll refine deeper improvisation techniques, sharpen the ability to teach with creative freedom, and identify ingrained sequencing habits that may be limiting growth. We’ll disrupt these patterns in innovative ways, incorporating movement constraints, tempo shifts, and transitions that challenge default tendencies. This is not a lecture—it’s a working lab where we’ll move, deconstruct, and rebuild sequencing ideas in real time, giving teachers the tools to design classes that feel fresh, expressive, and uniquely their own.

Hands-On Assists and Alignment suggestions invite the body to come into its fullest opening, allowing the pose to be experienced not by the body or the brain, but by an innate sense of spaciousness where awareness resides.
In this 2-part workshop we will review hands-on assists, reinforce alignment principles for āsanas, and observe and practice with on-the-spot feedback.
Designed for practitioners who have already completed a Yoga Teacher-Training program and seasoned students who are looking to continue their personal studies in yoga.

Even with a compassionate heart and the best of intentions, our interaction with others can be clumsy, ineffective, and even counter productive. In the Buddhist tradition, developing skillful means is an important addition to the cultivation of wisdom and compassion.
In meditation, we can start with gentleness and precision to see the situation clearly beyond our own filters and habitual patterns. But when we re-enter the activity of our everyday lives – it becomes important to know what action will be truly effective – perhaps more so now than ever.
“Traditionally when we talk about using skillful means to create positive outcomes, we are referring to four strategies that help shape a good intention into a skillful action:
Pacifying aggressive situations
Enriching impoverished situations
Magnetizing isolating situations
Destroying harmful situations
