Yoga Journal’s #1 yoga festival you need to know about. Join us for four days of world-class yoga instruction, authentic connection and guided adventure in beautiful Bend, Oregon. You are welcome here.

As with all things in life, this schedule is subject to change. While it’s unlikely to happen, we invite you to practice aparigraha and santosha if it does.

All events are rain or shine; be prepared with layers for rapid temperature changes, with the exception of lightning, which if forecasted, may require cancellation of a paddle session.

Flowing with the Five Prāṇas

When we think of breathing, we think of just inhaling and exhaling. And when a yoga class gets challenging, we often forget to do both! Yes, breathing is the most important aspect in a yoga practice and can significantly transform a student’s progress.

In the Yogic perspective, there are five specific channels for Prana to travel which can either help a yoga pose or negatively affect it. In this session you will learn all five directions, discover where you might be deficient, and understand how they can affect you on a mental, emotional, and physical level. We will then do a practice playing with these pathways to explore the whole being which you inhabit. A meditation will follow to set the energy we’ve cultivated.

You will leave with new tools to apply to your practice and to your life, expanding beyond your limitations. You will feel access to your whole torso with a serene sense of inner grounding. Your yoga will progress to a new, rewarding level.

No more than 30 minutes explanation, followed by a Vinyasa Flow practice using the information.  This workshop is best suited for intermediate students so that more attention can be paid on the work inside the pose instead of how to do the pose.

Recommended Props:  2 blocks, 1 strap, 1-2 blankets. (Do what you can.)
