Take Refuge: Yoga, Breath, & Inversions for Challenging Times

Sunday May 31, 2026 10:00am - 11:30am MDT

The Main Stage Tent

When the going gets rough… take refuge in your practice.

This class is a return—to your breath, your body, and the quiet strength within you.

Through simple breathwork, mantra, yoga as body prayer, and inversions, we’ll explore how to shift not only your body—but your perspective, your energy, and your inner state.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is turn yourself upside down—literally—and see life from a new place.

This practice is simple and transformative - something you'll want to return to again and again, even if you only have 20 minutes.

We'll move through breath, a soulful, heart-opening flow, accessible inversion options, and space for nourishment and integration - so your whole system can settle, rest, and come back into balance whenever you need to reconnect with yourself.

You’ll leave with a practice you can return to in your hardest moments—something uplifting, supportive, and nourishing.

This is the power of practice rooted in ancient wisdom, offering simple, meaningful tools you can return to daily, both in challenging times or anytime you long to come home to yourself.

As you reconnect with your body in this way, you begin to remember—your body is a temple, and within it lives everything you need to feel peace of mind, ease of heart, and a connection to the divine within you.
