Healing Addiction: The Dis-ease of the Lost Self (Part 1)

Part 1 of 2:  Broadening the view of addiction
When we mistakenly look outward for what lies within, believing that happiness and fulfillment reside in external factors like people, places, things, education, behaviors, substances, or experiences, we are led down a path that ultimately results in darkness and disconnection. This detachment from our true selves, often due to trauma or unfulfilled needs, is not just a catalyst for addiction, eating disorders, and co-dependent behavior, but according to ancient yoga and Vedanta texts, it's also the fundamental cause of all suffering, including societal issues like racism, sexism, and gender-based discrimination. However, we don't need to endure or inflict suffering. We have the power to rediscover and embrace our authentic selves. This journey of self-reclamation involves returning to and embracing the aspects of ourselves that we have long neglected or hidden, with the goal of restoring the innate love, acceptance, and sense of belonging that is our inherent right. Lecture, Discussion, Embodiment practices.

Taoist Yoga & Philosophy for Awakening To True Nature

Taoist Yoga and Philosophy is an approach to life that seeks mind/body balance and recognizes that  
everything is both sacred and dust at the same time. The body’s vitality(Jing/Jung) is sacred but will eventually die, one’s heart center and emotional life (Qi/Shim/Maum) is sacred but is bound to suffer, and one’s insight/mind/spirit/brain(Shen/Shin) is sacred but bound to be confounded by the mystery of existence… In this workshop you will learn how to integrate and harmonize these three energy centers of the body/mind as well as dive deep into the core Taoist concept of "wu-wei" and the teachings of Lao-Tzu. Whether you are a yoga teacher looking to incorporate more spiritual practices into your teaching or a yogi interested in studying the Tao, this workshop will be a powerful introduction to the practices and teaching of Sahm-Je Taoistm.

Vagus Voyage: An Embodied Tour of the Vagus Nerve and its Influence

Neural flexibility. Neural resilience. Neuroscience. If these terms seem heady, this workshop will help you embody your brain’s neural playground….your body. The vagus nerve is beloved by humans for being our chief parasympathetic (relaxation response) nerve. But new science around the influence of the vagus has shifted our understanding of parasympathetic responses. This workshop teaches you how to access the three anatomical zones innervated by the vagus nerve, and how each zone affects our state of perception and quality of being. The workshop includes novel breath-based exercises coupled with soft-tissue self-massage and positional release in order to feel the fascinating interplay of stimulating sympathetic and parasympathetic modes of being. Learn to distinguish between the myelinated and unmyelinated vagus pathways and become familiar with Polyvagal Theory. Ultimately it will help you to be more aware of your own state and help you foster a safe environment for your students.

The Most Powerful Breath You'll Ever Take

…is your very first breath. It transforms your entire physiology from its non-breathing, non-eating fetal state to that of an independent entity that must oxygenate its own blood, seek out its own nutrition, eliminate its waste and navigate a world of gravity and space. For the rest of our lives, we will have to negotiate this intricate dance between our internal and external spaces.
A breath-centered yoga practice offers you the opportunity to take the second-most transformational breaths you will ever take, and that is the specific goal of this workshop. Through inspiration, education and reflection, Leslie Kaminoff will lead you through a series of practices that will forever transform your relationship to your breathing body.

The Warrior Series - A Hands-Free Vinyasa Practice

If you like a strong, flowing, breath-centered yoga practice, but have done more than a few too many down dogs, up dogs and chaturangas, then this is the class for you. This practice-heavy workshop will lead you through a specially-designed vinyasa that strongly works the legs and moves the spine in all possible directions, all without putting any body weight on your hands.
This session can be extended into two parts, with part one focusing on the relationship of breath to movement, while introducing the basic movement principles of the sequence. Additionally, the use of breath cueing to achieve alignment and safety objectives will be covered through exploring individual adaptation and modification.
Building on the basics covered in part one, part two covers the full sequence of poses in the Warrior Series with an emphasis on the details of alignment. In particular, we will experiment with how to individualize breath and asana cueing for groups of any size, as well as how to modify the practice for individual therapeutic objectives. The vinyasa will be practiced twice, the first time flowing through non-stop, and the second time breaking down the myriad possibilities for individual adaptation.

You will create a vision board collage harnessing clarity to manifest your next steps on living into a life that lights you up. When we show up for ourselves with an open heart, trust in the process, and are witnessed in community; beautiful things are created.  You will leave this class with your uniquely and "just right" crafted vision board to take home and anchor you long after the festival ends.  
Materials will be provided.

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.

Radiance Yoga
I've practiced yoga in some way, shape or form for the last decade or so, always coming back to the mat to find the release of self we feel when we move through a flow. I live by the mantra, "get out of your head, and get onto your mat." I am invigorated by seeing myself, and my students... Read More →

Yoga for Happiness: Awaken Your Potential for Unlimited Joy!

Happiness is in short supply these days. Whatever happiness we experience seems to vanish quickly. All day long we are bombarded by catastrophic news media that’s enough to bring anyone down. What’s a yogi to do?

You can make a difference by making yourself happier. When you feel happy, your frequency speeds up.
Negative thinking, doubt, unworthiness, and anxiety disappear. You literally raise the vibrational field around you. When you’re happy, everyone gets happier around you.

Join master yogi, founder, musician, and internationally acclaimed teacher, Todd Norian, as he guides you step-by-step into the life-affirming philosophy and practices that awaken your potential for unlimited joy.

During this workshop, you will
  • Expand your capacity for unreasonable happiness, happiness for no reason at all
  • Explore the empowering and spiritually uplifting philosophy of Nondual Tantra
  • Build inner strength, balance, and flexibility with alignment-based, therapeutic asana
  • Quiet the mind and cultivate inner peace through meditation, chanting, and relaxation
  • Receive hands-on adjustments to improve your alignment and go deeper
  • Enjoy Todd’s music and chanting of mantras and invocations throughout the class

Practice alongside a supportive community of other heart followers who are ready and eager to increase their
happiness. By the end of the class, you’ll have a renewed sense of purpose, inspiration, and freedom to live
your best life and bring more hope and joy into the world.

Ashaya Yoga is an accessible, therapeutic, and safe practice for all levels of beginners to advanced yogis.
Modifications are given and you’re encouraged to go at your own pace.
