Flow State Vinyasa
Saturday May 30, 2026 8:00am - 9:30am MDT
We will start class by finding our flow through breathwork and meditation, and then move into a beautiful vinyasa sequence, emphasizing the importance of the "journey from pose to pose."
The first half of class will be vigorous, but mindful, led by a one breath per movement flow. We will follow with standing and balancing postures, with plenty of options for inversions/arm balancing.
The practice will wind down on the ground with seated and finishing postures, finishing where we started with breathwork and meditation, and of course, a sweet savasana!

Kundalini Yoga: Awakening Awareness Under the Full Blue Moon
Saturday May 30, 2026 8:00am - 9:30am MDT
This is a powerful practice that guides each student to connect with their own divine wisdom—enhancing endurance, clarity, intelligence, and intuition.

Through breath-work, rhythmic and repetitive movements, chanting, and meditation, this practice works to awaken energy within the body while supporting balance in the nervous and glandular systems.

Held under the energy of the Full Blue Moon, this session offers a potent opportunity for reflection, release, and renewal. We will close with an immersive sound bath, allowing the vibrations to integrate the experience and carry you into a state of harmony and stillness.

All levels are welcome to explore the transformative power of this practice.  Leave feeling reset, radiant, and aligned.

I’m a singer, holistic vocal coach, yoga teacher, and kirtan artist. My work is rooted in devotion, embodiment, and the power of voice as a vehicle for transformation. My offerings live at the intersection of mantra, movement, and music (not as performance, but as prayer).

Though my journey began in the corporate world, everything changed after a chance meeting with my now-husband and musical partner, Rob. That meeting opened the door to a deeper path, and I soon immersed myself in yoga, completing my first 200-hour teacher training through 8 Limbs... Read More →

Love Yourself First
Saturday May 30, 2026 1:15pm - 2:45pm MDT
You can't keep pouring from an empty cup. It's not sustainable and can leave so many of us feeling stressed, burnt out, and physically sick. We must take care of our own well being if we really want to show up as the best version of ourselves. 


In this Yoga, Meditation & Personal Development workshop, we will turn up the music to enjoy an all-levels "Love Yourself" yoga practice, and you will be led through a guided meditation to expand your sense of self-love and spiritual connection, and be coached through powerful personal development exercises to deepen your focus, be more present, increase your self-confidence, connect to your emotions and your emotional body.
You will leave this once in a lifetime experience feeling grounded, nourished, and ready to pour from a full cup!
