The Joy Rebellion: Yoga, Rest & Radical Happiness

Friday Night, 5:30pm - 8:00pm
Joy isn’t just a feeling - it’s fuel. In a world that can feel heavy, choosing joy is an act of resilience, a way to recharge, and a path back to yourself. This class is all about reclaiming joy through movement, breath, and deep rest. We’ll sweat, smile, and wrap up with deep relaxation—because rest, too, is a radical act. Come as you are!

The Sweet Spot: Yoga for This Moment – Upper Body

Saturday Morning, 10:00am - 12:30pm
Yoga teaches us that the real magic happens in the sweet spot—the place between too much and not enough, between pushing and pulling back. It’s where effort meets surrender, discipline meets freedom, and true growth unfolds. Explore this edge and learn how this tuning transforms both our practice, our lives, and even changes the world. Expect deep stretches for the chest, shoulders, and neck — balanced by moments of stillness, and practical tools to navigate life’s constant dance between effort and ease. 

Come ready to experiment, explore, and find your own sweet spot.

The Sweet Spot: Yoga for This Moment – Lower Body

Saturday Afternoon, 2:30pm - 5:00pm
Yoga teaches us that the real magic happens in the sweet spot—the place between too much and not enough, between pushing and pulling back. It’s where effort meets surrender, discipline meets freedom, and true growth unfolds. Explore this edge and learn how this tuning transforms both our practice, our lives, and even changes the world. Expect deep stretches for the hips, hamstrings, and lower back — balanced by moments of stillness, and practical tools to navigate life’s constant dance between effort and ease. 

Come ready to experiment, explore, and find your own sweet spot.

Farm Dinner

Saturday Evening, 5:30pm
Enjoy a thoughtfully prepared organic meal from the farm featuring woodfired pizzas and local spring greens.

Kula Flow: The Power of Us

Sunday Morning, 10:00am - 12:30pm
Yoga teaches us that we are never truly alone—we are part of something bigger. In a time when things are shaky, our true strength is in each other. This practice is about feeling held, seen, and uplifted through movement, breath, and the invisible threads that connect us all. Expect a mix of collective flow, grounding stillness, and deep rest—all designed to remind us of the power of community, both on and off the mat.

Come for the yoga, stay for the connection—because together, we are so much more.

A skillful hands-on assist in a yoga class can be transformational and life-changing for your students! At the same time, an inadequate assist is more detrimental than no assist at all. Learn how to give masterful hands-on assists that are both educational and empowering for your students while you discover the art of service and attention through refining your therapeutic touch under Amy’s watchful eye.

This module is designed to provide you with advanced skills in a wide variety of manual assists in order to add depth and sophistication to your teachings by practicing hands-on assists in the context of large or small group settings and private sessions. Come explore assists for a full spectrum of poses in a delicious exchange of loving hands that will dramatically expand your teaching repertoire!

You will learn:

• About the different types of touch and when to use them.

• The difference between therapeutic, opening, stabilizing, and positioning assists.

• Methods for centering yourself before teaching to help enhance the energy behind your touch.

• Hold your own body safely during hands-on assists to prevent common assisting injuries.

• How to connect with a student before giving an assist to build trust.

• How to give verbal assists before touching a student to help empower their understanding.

• Methods to be crystal clear when touching a student so that they actually move with you and improve their pose!

• Observation techniques to help you prioritize when and who to assist first.

• How to assist with the breath as your ally.

4 Days of Deep Connection & Inspiration in the Most Spectacular Setting

So much more than just a yoga festival, it’s a gathering unlike any other.

You simply will not find a more beautiful place to recharge, reconnect, and be inspired.

Nestled at the end of a lush canyon and surrounded by some of Colorado's most rugged peaks, Telluride is majestic, beautiful, and removed from the usual. 45 miles from the nearest stoplight, you can't help but feel like you've stepped away from it all. The pure mountain air and blue-bird skies inspire you to realign with nature and breathe life in full. Nowhere else in the country or perhaps the world, does such place exist.

“You feel the spirit of Telluride’s mountains all around you. The sheer size & beauty of these rugged peaks invokes the mystical & magical. It is breathtaking... you can actually feel yourself realigning with nature.”

— Susan M.
