Meditation is Everything

For thousands of years the word “yoga” was synonymous with meditation.  Every step on the classical 8 limbed path of yoga is intended to help prepare the mind for meditation thru training in concentration.  Meditation is not contemplation, or “thinking about things,” or even stopping thought.  Thoughts are not the enemy.  Meditation is not a spooky or an empty or spaced out state of mind.  It is simply a place of clear, undistracted and non-judgmental attention to whatever it is that is going on in consciousness - in this moment - whether pleasant or unpleasant. Mindfulness meditation does not require that we adopt any cultural affectations or beliefs.  It simply asks us to pay attention to the flow of experience in each moment.  Join Beryl and the sangha for mindfulness practice and find support in developing a well formed habit of attention and daily practice.

The Yoga of the Foot: How To Be A Better Biped

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.

Yoga for Pain

Yoga practices can be used for different purposes. Some people use practice for fitness. Some people are looking for transcendence. But, more and more, people are coming to yoga to address their pain. It could be either physical or mental pain, usually both.

The way yoga practice helps us address pain is not the same way we might practice for other purposes. Many conventional approaches unsuccessfully attempt to do both and often leave students ill equipped to develop effective personal practice that meets their needs.

In this workshop, J will examine the distinguishing characteristics of yoga practice that is geared towards a lessening of pain and developing individual agency. We will identify both the technical and philosophical aspects that determine both the experience we have, and results we receive.

Mystical Yoga: The Path to Liberation Through Magick, Alchemy, and Ritual

Magick, often described as the art of channeling energy at will, is precisely what unfolds when we unite in movement, breath, and prayer within the realm of yoga.
In this transformative journey, our daily practice becomes an alchemical process wherein we transmute the confines of our body and mind into boundless expansion. It empowers us to transcend our limiting beliefs and transfigure the leaden weight of fear into the golden wisdom that resides within us.
As we engage in this potent and purposeful approach, yoga transcends mere exercise—it becomes a sacred ritual, a holy dance with the divine, a tangible expression of our devotion, and a cosmic act of service. It serves as an amplifier for our commitment to healing ourselves, one another, and our precious planet in our quest for peace.
Join me for a very special, powerful, and illuminating event, where we will harmonize our intentions and utilize the power of our bodies to awaken the energies that guide us toward wholeness and freedom.
This soul-stirring class will encompass a variety of practices, including sun salutations A and B, standing postures, backbends, forward bends, inversions, meditation, contemplation, mantra, mudra, and heartfelt prayer.

Enlightenment (in the Vedanta tradition) is the journey of Knowing the Self, abiding in the Self and seeing the same Self in others with love and compassion. Manoj will guide you through the 3 practices of non dualistic Advaita Vedanta philosophy:  Shravanam (listening), Mananam (contemplation) and Nidhidhyasana (abiding in the Self).

The question then arises, what role do these deities such as Ganesh, Shiva, Lakshmi, Buddha,Tara play in this journey?. Manoj will bring in statues of these deities and relate their symbolisms to our journey to enlightenment. Through humorous archetypical story telling, discover your Isthadevata (personal archetype), uncover their secret symbolisms and learn the five ways to work with them as part of a practice towards spiritual awakening.

The Next Step in Slackline Yoga: Mastering Flow and Balance

Level: Intermediate
Elevate your practice to new heights with "The Next Step in Slackline Yoga," a class designed for those ready to explore the dynamic and flowing aspects of this unique discipline. The YogaSlackers have skillfully adapted over 150 traditional asanas to the slackline, and this class invites you to delve into the fluidity of moving between these poses, enriching your slackline yoga journey.
In this intermediate-level class, we focus on developing seamless transitions on the slackline, akin to the flow of a vinyasa yoga class. Here, each movement is intentionally synchronized with the breath, creating a rhythmic dance of balance and grace. This approach not only enhances physical stability but also cultivates a deep sense of presence and mindfulness.
Prerequisites for this class include either completion of any of our beginner level Slackline Yoga classes or a minimum of three months of slackline experience. This ensures that all participants have a foundational understanding of slackline yoga, allowing the class to collectively progress into more advanced flows and transitions.
This class is more than just physical practice; it's a meditative experience where breath and movement merge on the slackline. It's an opportunity to deepen your connection to yourself and the line, exploring how each transition can be an expression of balance, focus, and fluidity.
Join us in "The Next Step in Slackline Yoga" and discover the beauty of flowing transitions,or new poses, where each step and shift on the line becomes a part of a larger, harmonious sequence, embodying the essence of vinyasa in the realm of slackline yoga.

Four Tenets of Transformational Hands-On-Assists

This workshop is geared for yoga teachers or fitness professionals who work with individuals in group-class or one-on-one settings.
One of the main goals of yoga is to improve the flow of prana (energy or life-force) in the body. We use yoga asanas to help improve prana flow. Sometimes our students can’t access that state in their postures due to many factors.  A kind and compassionate hands-on-assist can facilitate the flow energy in the body by:
  • providing stability 
  • creating grounding
  • creating space in the body
  • helping improve breath. 
In this hands-on experiential workshop, we will learn the four main principles that will take your hands-on-assists to the next level and help your students experience postures in a whole new way.
We will learn to recognise when and where prana is restricted in the body in various asanas and learn the methods in which we can help improve prana flow with hands-on-assists. When prana is unlocked, the students can experience each pose in a more enjoyable, beneficial as well as more safe manner.
We will discuss student consent, approach, as well as how to use your hands with kindness and compassion for the health and wellness of your students. All of us are healers, we just need to fine-tune our senses and learn the power of our healing touch.

Intro to Katonah Yoga®

Welcome to Katonah Yoga® – a transformative journey rooted in Taoist theory, sacred geometry, and meaningful metaphors.

In our communal classes, we explore personal growth through pairs and groups, providing formal support with hands-on adjustments.

Katonah Yoga thrives on three universal principles: polarity, patterns, and repetition. Mediating between polarities, you'll harmonize body and mind, guided by the magic square of Taoist origin – a map to organize your personal abode, the body.

Approaching asana sequences as "workshops," we delve into each practitioner's unique proportions, ensuring alignment control and joint protection. Beyond the physical, Katonah Yoga® fosters a dialogue between postures, organs, and emotions, transcending habitual patterns for mind, body, and soul enrichment.

Cultivate a stable, safe, and sustainable practice during our time together. Master body proportions, assist others on their journeys, and integrate pranayama and Taoist meditations. This workshop will empower you to apply Katonah Yoga to any style, unlocking your full potential. Join us on this profound exploration of self-discovery and transformation.

Slow Soul Flow: Dreams, Dao, & Dharma

Festival Co-Founder and Director Andrew Tanner is a master at making dreams become reality.  Throughout the festival you will have taken in teachings and experiences that are transformative and healing. But how will you integrate them into your life? In this 90-minute Soulful Vinyasa practice you will be guided at specific moments to call forth those experiences in your mind and integrate them subconsciously through movement and guided meditation so that you can experience clarity on your personal spiritual path.  Andrew's teaching style weaves together two threads of yoga: Classical Hatha-Raja Vinyasa in the style of Sri Dharma Mittra, and Sahm-Je (3-Element) Taoist Yoga, which incorporates feeling your vital energy or Qi in flowing dance-like movements and grounded breathwork. This class will be the perfect ending to your festival experience. After class you can stay and join the Closing Kirtan.
