✴️ Breathful Grounding

Friday June 13, 2025 8:00am - 9:00am EDT

A Mindful Flow for All.' I'm Vince , and I'm stoked you're here. Imagine a space where your breath is your most compassionate teacher, and every movement is a step towards deeper grounding. In this class, we'll explore the dance of breath and body, each flow seamlessly leading to the next, just like the gentle ebb and flow of life's rhythms. As we move together, you'll discover a practice that's more than just poses; it's a celebration of the present moment, a cultivation of inner stillness amidst the outer motion. Whether you're new to yoga or have been on this path for years, our community welcomes you with open arms. Join me at the Berkshire Yoga Festival, where we'll not only stretch our bodies but also our hearts, building connections that extend beyond the mat. Let's breathe, flow, and grow together, creating moments of mindfulness that resonate with your soul. Remember, this journey is yours - and it starts with a single breath. Let's take that first breath together.

✴️ Pranayama for Vividness in Understanding

Friday June 13, 2025 8:30am - 9:30am EDT

Fischer Room, Country Inn

Pranayama is often referred to as the science and art of breath. But to what end? How can breath bring us closer to understanding and depth of consciousness?
In this session we will explore the breath as a tool to draw us closer to an understanding of prana/life within the body, build/store prana, and deepen the vividness of our conscious attention.
Join Paul Menard, for an exploration of breath, body, and mind as we connect the art of pranayama with the scaffolding of posture, withdrawal of the senses, and a deeper vividness in meditation.

✴️ Mat Pilates

Friday June 13, 2025 10:00am - 11:00am EDT

Clark Room, Country Inn

Pilates is an amazing, comprehensive form of exercise that was created by Joseph Pilates. His original name for the work was Contrology; Contrology is the complete coordination of the body and the mind. It is only when Joseph passed that the work took on the catchier name of Pilates. Mat Pilates is a type of exercise that was based on Joseph Pilates original repertoire that includes doing the Pilates movements off the machines onto the mat. Some of these exercises are similar to many yoga poses. Examples of these exercises include: planks, side planks, long sit, spine stretch, and various other exercises. All of the exercises target specific areas of the body to strengthen and stretch the muscles. Pilates helps elongate the muscles, help with flexibility, strengthen and lean out core muscles, and reduce overall tightness. This class is can be modified for all ages, fitness levels, and body types.
