Finding the Middle: Balance in the Midst of Chaos
Friday June 13, 2025 8:00am - 9:30am EDT
In a world filled with inevitable chaos—be it the demands of daily life, personal challenges, or the turbulence of political and social unrest—finding balance can feel elusive at best, impossible at worst. This immersive 90-minute experience will explore navigating the dynamic tension between opposites: effort and ease, strength and surrender, the external and the internal.
We’ll begin by setting the context, examining how "the middle" offers a place of integration, stability, and presence even when life feels completely unpredictable. Together, we’ll reflect on how societal and personal upheaval shape our sense of balance, using guided discussion to unpack what’s really going on beneath the surface. From there, we’ll take it to the mat with a yoga practice designed to help find balance in the body, deepen mindfulness, and reconnect with the inner center that steadies us in times of external turmoil.
This session is open to everyone, no matter where you are in your practice or your life. Whether you’re looking for practical tools to handle the madness, a deeper dive into yoga philosophy, or just a moment to pause, breathe, and recalibrate—you’ll find it here. Let’s meet in the middle.

Expanding Our Perspective: Reframing Addiction, Recovery, Healing, and Wholeness
Friday June 13, 2025 12:30pm - 1:30pm EDT
This engaging session explores addiction through a bold, multidimensional lens. Far from being just an individual struggle, addiction is deeply woven into cultural, social, and systemic patterns that are often ignored, dismissed, or misunderstood. True healing requires more than personal change—it’s about integration: within ourselves, our communities, and the broader systems and structures of society as a whole.
Rooted in yoga philosophy, lived experience, and an exploration of the politics of addiction, this session invites attendees to ask new questions, challenge old narratives, and reimagine recovery as a path to deeper connection and wholeness. Through practical insights and heartfelt reflection, this session offers a holistic approach to healing that supports both personal and collective transformation.
