Equanamity: Bridging Neuroscience and Yoga
Friday May 29, 2026 3:00pm - 4:30pm MDT
3rd Base - Shakti Shala
Join Dr. Marie Collier, neurologist and long-time yoga practitioner, for an exploration of equanimity through both modern neuroscience and ancient yogic wisdom. This session brings together an understanding of the nervous system particularly the vagus nerve with practical ways to remain steady in the face of life’s inevitable fluctuations.

Through guided breath-work, gentle movement, and meditation, you’ll learn simple, accessible ways to support vagal tone, regulate the stress response, and return to a state of calm, clarity, and presence.
