Fascia Fire: A Master Class in Unlocking the Power of Your Fascia*
Friday May 2, 2025 3:00pm - 5:00pm MDT
A challenging and energizing power vinyasa class designed to target a specific myofascial meridian.  Fascia is the connective tissue that both connects and separates EVERYTHING in the body.  Within the fascial network are specific fascia lines.  This practice will be sequenced and tuned to target a set of lines.  The sequence will be designed to build heat, create hydration within the tissues, enhance stability, and ending with holds to enhance mobility and flexibility.   This class will take you on a journey that not only challenges your strength and endurance, but also nourishes your body's connective tissue, increases range of motion, releases stored tension, all aiming to create a deeper freedom in your practice! Get ready to sweat, strengthen, and restore in this powerful flow!  This workshop is open to all who are ready to dive deep and move with intention.  Through challenges we grow, and through growth, we live!

Experience Light as an Artist
Friday May 2, 2025 5:30pm - 7:30pm MDT
I guide participants to see subtle dynamics of light at play- to seeing the world in an elusively obvious way. The practice of painting outdoors is an abandoning of preconceptions & of elevating our awareness. This session is not focused on creating excellent art, rather, this is a process of using paint to enhance our perception for subtleties of light & form. Learning to see is learning to paint; Excellence flows after understanding is internalized. Paint alongside me & nurture your presence/awareness relationship with your very perception, & the world we walk. You just may see the world in new ways that will forever evolve over our lifetime.

Awaken the Senses: A Blindfolded Yoga Experience
Saturday May 3, 2025 3:00pm - 4:30pm MDT
Step into a deeply immersive yoga experience designed to heighten your awareness and awaken your senses. This unique workshop invites you to set aside the sense of sight and connect more fully with taste, touch, and sound. This blindfolded journey begins with a mindful taste meditation, allowing you to savor simple, nourishing flavors and ground yourself in the present moment. From there, you’ll flow into a yoga practice, where removing visual input deepens your focus on touch, breath, and balance. Feel the grounding connection of your body to the mat and the energy of intentional movement in a safe, nurturing environment. The experience concludes with a restorative savasana accompanied by a calming sound bath, featuring singing bowls, chimes, and other harmonic instruments. During this final relaxation, gentle hands-on adjustments will provide grounding and comfort, helping you fully release into blissful stillness.

Hilarious Breathing A.K.A Laughter Yoga
Sunday May 4, 2025 12:00pm - 1:30pm MDT
Laughter Yoga is a unique practice that combines intentional laughter with yogic breathing techniques to promote physical and emotional well-being. It involves playful exercises, clapping, and deep breathing to stimulate genuine laughter, reducing stress, boosting mood, and enhancing overall health. The idea is that the body can't differentiate between real and intentional laughter, so both provide the same positive benefits. Laughter Yoga is typically done in groups, fostering connection and joy among participants.
