Beyond Illusion: A Somatic Approach to Transforming the “Near Enemies”
Thursday June 12, 2025 9:00am - 12:00pm EDT
In this 3-hour intensive, we will explore the concept of "near enemies"—qualities or behaviors that appear virtuous on the surface but can subtly undermine our growth, relationships, and authenticity. Rooted in teachings from yoga philosophy, psychology, and recovery frameworks, this session will help participants uncover how these disguised habits can keep us disconnected from ourselves and others.

Through guided reflection, experiential exercises, and somatic practices, you’ll learn to distinguish near enemies from their true counterparts, such as how pity masquerades as compassion or indifference as equanimity. Together, we’ll cultivate awareness, resilience, and tools to realign with genuine values, fostering deeper connection and transformation.
Whether you’re on a path of personal growth, recovery, or spiritual development, this workshop offers insight and practices to support living with integrity and truth.

Vertical Axis Integration: Anatomy and Breath Practices of the Shushumna-Nadi
Thursday June 12, 2025 9:00am - 12:00pm EDT
An foundational principle of breath-centered yoga theory and practice is what Leslie refers to as “vertical axis integration,” also known as the opening of the energetic body’s central channel. In this three-hour practical intensive, we will explore this idea through a sequence of practices that integrate a fresh perspective on asana, kriya, bandha, and pranayama. The session will conclude with an initiation into a meditative practice derived from Krishnamacharya’s unique perspective on Prana/Apana, Kundalini and Agni.

Individual modifications and adaptions for all levels of experience will be taught, and ample time will be devoted to inquiry, questions and feedback.

Sacred Names: Kirtan with Chant Master Krishna Das
Thursday June 12, 2025 7:00pm - 9:00pm EDT
Join us for an evening of chanting with Krishna Das.

Layering traditional kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Krishna Das has been called the “Chant Master of American Yoga” (NYTimes). With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das, known to friends, family, and fans as simply, “KD,” has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and temples and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling western chant artist of all time. In a recording career spanning more than two decades, he has released 16 acclaimed full-length albums, his music serving as an easily approachable gateway to the devotional traditions of the East, and his voice serving as a conduit to the yearning that is the wellspring of all spiritual paths. His album ‘Live Ananda’ (released January 2012) was nominated for a Grammy in the Best New Age album category.

Kirtan is a simple and meditative traditional sadhana (spiritual practice.) The practice itself involves repetitive call and response singing between a leader and a group, where what is being sung back and forth is mantra, sacred names, or names of God. It is said to awaken bhakti, a kind of reverential and loving devotion within the heart.

Kirtans with Krishna Das require no previous experience. All are welcome.
