✴️ Create Your "Me Bubble": Sensory Based Immersion Experience

Eligible for Yoga Alliance CE

In this workshop you will experience healing in all 5 senses. The room will be purified beginning the night before with air purification, sound and light purification. Sound and color are mixed to provide an immersive healing experience. Sound Immersive headphones are used to bring your mind into deep focus. Bharati Carla is an LPN, Master Healer, and Kundalini Yogini.

We are witnessing significantly higher incidence of physical and mental health decline, which can have minor to debilitating effects of quality of life. Anxiety is now the #1 actual diagnosis post-pandemic, meaning people may have sought medical help for something else then actually told their symptom is a result of anxiety.
Reconditioning the nervous system is key. Any time we improve the brain and nervous system function, we improve the biochemistry in the body, and our experience of ourselves and our lives.

Experience firsthand how Sensory-Based Immersive (SBI) practices enhance a wellness event with beneficial stimuli for all the senses! Sensory-Based Immersion spaces allow the user to find their way to a more regulated state- a combination of soothing to sensory pathways that were overstimulated, and awakening to pathways that were less receptive or underutilized.

SBI protocols help wellness experts create environments that are more friendly to a variety of neuro processing styles, and help shift a nervous system from tired and wired to calm and inspired! This heightened state of awareness, safety and receptivity allows guests of your classes and workshops to better engage in most any teaching, healing or creativity modality.

These protocols are transferable across different types of events, whether for community health, workplace wellness or incorporated into professional training and organizational gatherings.

✴️ Slackline Yoga: Starting the Long Walk

Step into the realm of intermediate slacklining with a workshop designed for those ready to expand their horizons beyond the basics. As your practice matures, you may find yourself drawn to the challenges and thrills of walking longlines, highlines, and waterlines. These disciplines share a common trait: the journey begins away from the security of the ground and requires you to move from a seated position into standing without using the ground. 

In this intermediate-level workshop, we will guide you through various mounts, empowering you to start your walk on these lines with confidence and grace. Mastering the skill of entering a slackline without using ground is not just a technical achievement; it's a gateway to a whole new spectrum of poses and line practices. This pivotal skill enriches your slackline yoga journey, opening doors to previously unexplored dimensions.

Prerequisites for this transformative experience include previous participation in any of our Slackline Yoga classes or the ability to stand and/or kneel on a slackline for at least 15 seconds. This foundational knowledge ensures that you're ready to safely and effectively advance further in your slacklining.

"Slackline Yoga: Starting the Long Walk" is more than a skill-building workshop; it's a metaphor for stepping into the unknown with courage and mindfulness. Join us as we explore the art of the long walk, where each step is a blend of balance, focus, and inner strength, mirroring the deeper journey of our yoga practice.

✴️ YES Talk: Healing Addiction: A Yogic Perspective

Typically, the term "addiction" is associated with substance abuse. However, a more comprehensive exploration uncovers not only behavioral or process 
addictions but also cultural addictions. Research highlights striking similarities between substance addiction, psychological dependencies on activities like compulsive gambling, sex, work, shopping, eating disorders, and cultural obsessions that permeate our daily lives. This expanded viewpoint indicates that addiction transcends the substance or behavior, extending to the cultural norms and practices we often overlook. In this module, we delve into the core issue of addiction, including its cultural aspects, and discuss solutions through the lens of yoga.

Headstand or Sirsasana  is sometimes referred to as the “King of Asana” and it stands (on its head) atop the rest.  Done well, it can be a meditative and soothing pose.  In this Hatha style workshop, you will move through a sequence of poses that compose the building blocks of a stable and confident headstand.  

You will see how the components of the headstand exist within many familiar and often practiced poses, and learn the alignment principle needed to practice safely. By the end, you will have the tools you need to add this pose to your regular practice, and if you have a headstand practice already, you can expect to find a lightness and an ease you didn’t know was possible!

✴️ Healing Ourselves and Our World: How Beauty, Goodness and Excellence Make us Better

Many of us already know the shifts in mood we can experience when in the presence of beauty.  What we may not know, and what research in the fields of eco- and positive psychology have demonstrated is that when we activate a mindful attention to natural beauty, moral beauty (goodness) or excellence in others, we notice much more profound benefits. These benefits range from a lift in spirits, a sense of transcendence, an openness to others, an increase in motivation to be our better selves, and a commitment to care of the planet and its species. In her presentation, Maria Sirois, shares the stories and research that illuminates the value of attention to outer and inner beauty and to excellence, and shares practices that can easily be applied in every domain of our living.

✴️ Trauma-Informed Kundalini Yoga for Deep Release & Relaxation

We all know how difficult it can be to ease into the art of relaxation. We spend so much time in a state of chasing what is next, hustle culture and perceiving we must earn our right to be here. What if we are released into the awareness that we are perfect? What if there is no reason for “self-help” or “self-improvement”? What if we just shed the layers of stress that keep us confined in fear, false personality and identity? 
In this Trauma Informed Kundalini Yoga session, we will surrender to the universal truth that radiance, happiness, and divinity are a part of who we really are. Underneath the layers of false stories we find our True Identity, our Sat Nam, and there we recognize that we are both a work in progress AND a masterpiece. 
No kundalini experience required. This is suitable for all practitioners, and pregnant people are welcome. Wear comfortable clothes and bring water.
