Sunday 8:30-10:00a in Buddha Moon
How do we integrate the millions of illuminated moments of this  YogaJam experience into our daily Yoga Living and share it with our communities back home? Join me as we hold space for one another to reflect on our original intention (or expectations) upon arrival, our individual experiences throughout the festival, and our collective wish to continue to vibrate at this higher frequency for days, weeks, and years to come.  Celebrate a fusion of sharing, storytelling, chill Bhakti vibes, heart-centered and Yin-inspired postures, followed by deep rest, relaxation and meditation before heading H-Om.

Yoga for Justice: Creating Space for Social Change
Peace is fir found within. With our government rapidly changing, and stories of trauma being shared with us
in the media on a daily basis, it is easy to feel as if we’ve lost control. Through the yoga we can not only
connect back to our sacred being, but we can also promote peace through practice. Finding peace within is
the secret to creating a peaceful environment. This workshop will hold space for people who have
experienced media, political, historical, societal, and ancestral trauma to practice in a love filled environment
designed to transmute all pain into power.
Radical Healing:

We are truly spiritual beings having a human experience. It is this spiritual aspect that connects us to the
outward universe and back to the other energetic beings on the planet. Energy is infinite and we all have
access to its source. Understanding how to keep energy flowing through us is the key to creating balance
within our lives. Through the practice of yoga we are able to keep a balanced flow of energy within the body,
which in turn translates to a balanced flow of energy within our environment. This workshop will help
students gain a basic understanding of the chakra system and how yoga postures utilize meridians within the
body for healing. Students will leave with tools to help lift common blockages and calm overactivity through
the practice of breathwork, movement, and other hands on healing techniques

“The Great Wide Open” Yoga Class Andrea Boyd
We open a book, a window, an orange, hearts, minds… Openness births illumination, and a return to the Source, to what is and what is to be. This class will be a fluid and enthusiastic exploration inclusive of asana, song, relaxation, and meditation.

Tuned-in, Tapped-In, Turned-On. Our ability to tap into our vibrating hearts and manifest the limitless abundance that is our birth right is increased exponentially through the pounding rhythms and driving guitar riffs of the world’s most inspiring and revolutionary rock’n’roll. What we come away with is a practice where we have transcended the limits of our body and mind connecting deeper to the One True Soul-Source. A modern practice of Nada (sound) Yoga, rocker-yogi Jeffrey Rama Cohen shares his unique gift to hit all the right beats and inspire to what is often called, “The best yoga class I have ever taken.”  Come to shimmy and shake, rattle, and roll! This class will rock you out! Can be swift moving, but no worries just dance when given the chance. Guaranteed to blow your mind (the true goal of yoga!). (ROCKASANA! is ® trademark, created by Jeffrey Cohen & Andrea Boyd.)

Fascial Freedom:  This class is a fun blend of movement intended to free fascial tension inviting the inner body to deeply relax. The goal is space and the freedom to being.

Primal flow w/ Tribal drumming w/ Druminyasa:  Allow your body to be guided by the primal vibrational pulse of the heart and soul.  Ground deep into the energy of the earth and let your inner animal shine through on your mat as you move to heart pounding rhythms and beats. This vinyasa class includes elements of mediation, pranayama, sound healing and of course asana.

Twists, Hips & Arm Balances. Expect to detoxify the insides and awaken 1st, 2nd and 3rd Chakras with this hip opening, deep twisting class/workshop blend. Flow through funky transitions that take the body into several twists, while opening up the inner and outer hip. By opening the hips we can began to let go of stuck energy that is keeping us from fully enjoying the present moment.  With deep twists we increase blood flow to internal organs while releasing toxins.  Through arm balancing we can face our fears and find a greater sense of self confidence.

This class is for Dudes. Dudes of all shapes and sizes. All genders. It’s all about your inner Dude. Just make sure to leave the toilet seat up. During this class we work on building ‘core’ strength. From a keg to a sixpack. Strengthen the upper body. Work on tight hips/hamstrings/shoulders. Get all flexible and stuff. No yoga experience necessary. Dude.

Set to a soundtrack that will make you shake your gluteus maximus, this class blends a traditional Asana practice with challenging and often entertaining ‘core’ and upper body strengthening practices. This is a great way to build the strength and endurance that will help support your ‘regular’ yoga practice. Abs of titanium guaranteed. And there’s a good chance we’ll do some silly dancing.

Feel the rhythms of the drums as you connect breath, heartbeat, mind & body to a 75 minute vinyasa flow led by yoga instructor Becky Eschenroeder to the beats by percussionist Brad Ellsworth of Druminyasa. As featured on CBS “Try out Druminyasa for a one-of-a-kind yoga experience,” and The Washington Times and appearing at festivals, studios and special events, Brad Ellsworth of Druminyasa has been playing drums and percussion for over 25 years.  A yoga practitioner and teacher, Brad founded Druminyasa by connecting his love for rhythm, drums and movement.

The Color of Yoga: Money, Diversity, and Adversity
The ancient practice of yoga is at a crossroads. Or is it?? Has this “spiritual” practice been corrupted by the “material” world of need and greed? Is this especially true because we live in a capitalist, “free enterprise” society? Or is the practice of yoga as it always has been, a way to show humanity the path into Divinity, even while becoming truly human? Is it even possible for it to be corrupted? And in society where there is sexism, classism, and racism how does this ancient practice (with its own blemishes too, with it’s obvious lean toward a male dominated culture, and its own “caste” system), read more

Do you have physical pain that you do not understand? Is there something in you that gets frustrated or angry when you are in pain? Have you ever considered that pain might be something in your body trying to get your attention and beneath that it really wants your well-being?  Our natural Focusing skills are quite useful in getting to the core of physical pain issues. Those of us who are more skilled have access to what might be described as miraculous self-healing experiences.  During our time together here we will explore how to deeply listen to what our body is trying to communicate to us through the experience of pain. Being fully understood is what allows something painful within us to change and our experience is that – always – our body moves us toward a greater sense of thriving, open, flowing aliveness.
