Colleen Saidman Yee is a yoga instructor with over thirty years of practicing experience. Owner of Yoga Shanti in Sag Harbor, NY. Author of the book “Yoga For Life”. Cofounder of UZIT. Contributor to Yoga Journal, Yoga International, Gaia, One Commune, Omega, Kripalu, and Menla.

Rodney Yee, an American-born Asian from California, embarked on his yoga journey in the 1980s with a focus on studying the intricacies of the human body. Over time, his exploration expanded to encompass the realms of mind and spirituality, driven by a practical and inquisitive approach. Rodney’s pursuit of wholeness began during his high school gymnastics days and was further nurtured through the study of philosophy and physical therapy at U.C. Davis and U.C. Berkeley. He left college to pursue a career in dance, performing with the Oakland Ballet Company and the Matsuyama Dance Company of Tokyo.

Yoga served as the synthesis of Rodney’s diverse interests, embodying his deep yearning for completeness. He built a strong foundation in Iyengar Yoga at The Yoga Room in Berkeley, CA, and the Iyengar Institute of San Francisco, where he learned from influential teachers like Donald Moyer, Manouso Manos, and Ramanand Patel.

In 2003, Rodney relocated to Sag Harbor, NY, to be with his partner Colleen Saidman. Together, they have created a blended family with their children, Evan, Adesha, Rachel, and Johanna. Colleen and Rodney’s love for one another and passion for teaching has only intensified with time. They are actively involved in teaching at Colleen’s studio, Yoga Shanti, and offer classes, workshops, retreats, and Teacher Trainings worldwide.

The Power of Sight and Touch – Hands-On Assists, Seeing a Body & Structural Alignment

In this immersive workshop, we will explore the art of hands-on assists rooted in the principles of structural alignment, movement therapy, sacred geometry and Katonah yoga.

You’ll learn to see and feel the body in a new way—understanding how patterns, imbalances, and architecture affect each person’s practice.

Through touch, observation, and informed cueing, you’ll develop skills to support your students’progress, meet individual needs, and make adjustments that are both safe and transformative.

This session is for yoga teachers or movement seekers looking to refine their ability to see and serve the bodies in front of them—and for students who want to deepen their relationship to alignment and energetic mapping through tactile exploration.

Learn the language of yoga. This workshop is designed for yoga teachers who want to build confidence in using Sanskrit terms and gain a deeper understanding of the language that forms the foundation of yogic philosophy and practice. Together, we’ll explore commonly used Sanskrit words, pose names, mantras, and philosophical terms—breaking them down for clear pronunciation, meaning, and context. Whether you’re looking to enhance your teaching, enrich your personal practice, or reconnect with the roots of yoga, this session offers practical tools and insights for integrating Sanskrit authentically.

Jessica has been studying sanskrit on and off for 17 years with Manorama, Bharati, and others, and has recently taken up more serious study over the last three years with Zoe Mai and Edwin Bryant. She hopes that this workshop will be clarifying and also hopefully awaken a desire to study the language more deeply!

Talking About the Gita is a 2.5-hour workshop and open conversation exploring how one of yoga’s most influential texts continues to speak to the complexity of modern life. Rather than approaching the Bhagavad Gita as something distant or purely philosophical, this workshop invites participants into dialogue with its central questions: How do we move through uncertainty? What happens when there is no obvious right answer? And how do we live with greater clarity and integrity in the midst of competing responsibilities, relationships, and demands?

Through storytelling, chanting, guided reflection, journaling prompts, and partner or group discussion, Jules Febre and Joshua M. Greene will explore themes of dilemma, memory, time, action, and dharma in a practical and conversational way. Together we will reflect on how we spend the limited time we have, what continually distracts us from what matters most, and how meaningful action often begins not when everything is figured out, but when we are willing to engage honestly with the questions in front of us. No prior study of the Bhagavad Gita is required.

Teaching for over two decades Jules Febre is dedicated to sharing the transformative power of yoga with students of all levels. With a passion for understanding yoga in a modern context and how it relates to an engaged and meaningful life, Jules strives to create an inclusive and welcoming environment in every class.

Joshua M. Greene (Yogesvara) is Laurel Vlock Fellow at Yale University’s Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies. His biographies of survivors have sold more than half a million copies. For more than fifty years, he has also been a practitioner of bhakti yoga. He describes these two pursuits—eyewitness testimony and bhakti teachings—as united in their focus on memory as central to human behavior.
