Who doesn't love time to play in their practice?! This class is all about having fun while building up toward TWO peak poses - Flamingo and Fallen Flamingo. We will focus on alignment, strength through functional exercises, and properly warming and opening areas of the body specific for these two poses. As with all yoga classes, the goal is not to accomplish the poses with flawless execution; the goal is to grow in our practice and gain a better understanding of our bodies as we move with intention.

Join us for a deeply healing and profound meditation experience designed to help you realize the infinite nature of who you are and your own ability to thrive and heal. 

This breathwork is unique in its ability to bring any practitioner into the highest state of meditation called Samdahi. Samadhi translates to void or death of the ego. In this vast state of emptiness we are temporarily liberated from the challenges of duality and the self-limiting nature of the ego. The results can be profound, as this reveals to us our true infinite and authentic nature and reconnects us with source consciousness. 

To help facilitate this experience is a sound journey which takes you into the infinite realm of possibilities through harmonic frequencies that clear, align and activate the chakras, especially the third-eye and crown. 

Students of this practice report profound levels of meditation, deep brain states, visualizations, awakening experiences, self-transformation and traumatic healing. 

*Intense breathwork is not suitable for people who experience epilepsy, are pregnant, or have severe heart or medical conditions. 

Explore the embodiment of facing the fullness of life as it is: the good, the bad and the ugly. Move your body through an alignment based class acknowledging the full spectrum of reality as it is. Leave emboldened to show up fully for yourself and your community.

From spring, we journey into early summer. The days are noticeably longer, the suns rays more intense as the bright orb coaxes us out of our homes and into its shine. Nature's outward, rapid and sporadic growth of springtime begins to level out during the early months of summer. In harmony with nature, we, too, begin to experience the flowering of our efforts. We will explore and grow in our heart-aligned practice that nurtures our joy, our passions, our generosity and our love for self and others.

Are you ready to feel more challenge in your yoga practice? In this experiential Vinyasa-based workshop, you will learn how to challenge yourself with tools that empower you to take yourself deeper, both physically and mentally. We will utilize binds, strength building movements, and breathwork in addition to mindfulness and meditation as techniques for taking your practice deeper.

Understanding our connection to the five elements helps us find our balance.
The five spiritual elements are earth, air, water, fire and ether (or space/spirit). Each of these elements can be connected into your life daily and can be activated by the Power of Breathwork. 
EARTH to ground, balance and vitalize the body
WATER to trust, accept and balance our emotions
FIRE to transform, clarify and vitalize our energy
AIR to move, inspire and harmonize the mental body
SPACE/ETHER to connect, transcend and ignite the spirit
Connecting with these elements in the Breath will have beautiful benefits in your life!

Class description coming soon

Gather to integrate the lessons and experiences from a beautiful day at the South Dakota Yoga Gathering. You will be invited to a guided meditation to connect the energies from the day and integrate them in a vibrational up-leveling Sound Shower. During the Sound Shower you will be treated to sounds from crystal singing bowls, gongs, drums, chimes, vocalizations and elements from nature. Closing a powerful day with intentionality creates space for transformation and the opportunity to align your magic to a higher vibrational frequency you can carry back into your daily life.

Class descriptions to come.
