Yoga Fusion
Host: Allison Wood
Info: Ready to hit the "reset" button on your week? Welcome to Yoga Fusion—the class that finally stops you from having to choose between building strength and melting into a deep stretch.
Think of this as the perfect "Yin and Yang" of your workout schedule. We’ll start by waking up the body with some intentional, flowing movement and functional strength building, then transition into that deep, slow-stretch goodness your muscles have been craving. Whether you’re looking to fire up your core or just finally release the tension from sitting at a desk (we feel you!), this class covers all the bases.
🕑: 10:30 AM - 11:15 AM
Sound Bath
Host: Falen Reid

Somatic Yin
Host: Imad Khaddaj

Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, this class works with meridian lines, connective tissue, joints, and energetic pathways through long-held Yin postures, mindful movement, therapeutic self-release techniques, and breath awareness.

Classic Yoga Nidra
Host: Julia Dharma Long
Info: The aim of this class is to enter and remain in the theta brainwave state, the deeply relaxed, dream adjacent space just before sleep. Here the mind is highly receptive, creative and open to insight and intention setting without dropping fully into deep, dreamless, delta sleep.
Classic Yoga Nidra is uniquely suited for problem solving, creativity, emotional processing and sankalpa work, because it intentionally keeps you in theta, relaxed but not asleep. Tap into your Power to live the life you wish to live.

Discovering your Treehouse: Crisis to Creation - Speakers Corner
Host: Jenn Farr

The one you first discovered as a child, looking down at the world from somewhere high and quiet and yours.
Through guided visualization, reflective journaling prompts, and the grounding presence of the festival, you'll explore how imagination isn't escapism, it's the creative force that allows us to see beyond crisis, access new possibilities, rise above the noise, and begin building the life you actually want.
