✴️ Yoga for Men: Open and Expand From Strength
Saturday June 14, 2025 8:00am - 9:00am EDT
Let’s dive in together for an expanding physical practice that not only challenges our bodies but opens our minds with targeted breathing practices for optimum health and athletic performance. As men, we often don’t take personal inventory of our health, our relationships, and our personal best practices -- more frequently operating in a GSD (get sh*t done) mode. Today, we will use our practice as a linchpin to realign and set our center. We’ll be targeting shoulders, hips, hams, and strength in this joyous morning practice. The practice is open to all levels. If your body is tight, you are encouraged to bring yoga blocks.

✴️ Social Dreaming Matrix
Saturday June 14, 2025 8:30am - 9:15am EDT
Social Dreaming is an opportunity to share and work with dreams within a social space. It rests on the premise that dreams can speak with dreams: breeding, growing, and developing new thoughts and new thinking, beyond a subjective focus of individual dream work. Through the creation of a community of dreamers we will explore the patterns that emerge between one narrative and another.

The aim of these sessions is to create a social dreaming matrix by working as a community to transform our thoughts about our dreams by freely associating to the dreams shared in the matrix. This process helps to uncover unconscious links and make connections that will lead us to discover new ways to experience a sense of joining.

The matrix is a bringing together of individuals into a unique space to consider and discover the hidden, elusive/infinite meaning in our dreams. The matrix is a place to reflect, while awake, on the unlimited, unconscious processes we experience in waking life that show up in our dreams while asleep. The community of dreamers will be encouraged not to interpret the dreams shared. Instead, they will be invited to offer associations or draw parallels to the dreams from film, literature or any other spiritual, cultural, or social contexts to amplify the narrative between us.

✴️ Rewire Your Reality
Saturday June 14, 2025 10:30am - 11:30am EDT
Imagine unlocking the full potential of your life by mastering the intricate network of your nervous system. This is the profound reality Vanessa unfolds in this 60-minute session, as she elucidates the true essence of the mind-body-spirit connection. This connection, often shrouded in mystique, is in fact a tangible bridge to mastering life itself, intricately woven through the fibers of our nervous system.

In her talk, "Rewire Your Reality," Vanessa navigates a transformative three-step pathway: first, regulating the nervous system to fully leverage its power; second, releasing deep-seated traumas that subconsciously shape our actions and reactions; and third, repatterning our behaviors to pave the way for a vibrant and fulfilling future. This methodical approach transcends quick fixes, offering a blueprint for deep, enduring change that revitalizes how we think, feel, and interact with the world.

Vanessa combines timeless yogic wisdom with the latest advancements in neurological science to make these profound teachings both accessible and practical. Her personal narrative of recovery from traumatic brain injuries adds a compelling layer to her expertise. Not only did she overcome immense physical challenges, but her journey also unveiled remarkable healing beyond her brain injury—eradicating chronic pain, allergies, and uncovering emotional patterns that were invisibly influencing her life.

About Vanessa: With 18+ years of experience in somato-emotional integration, Vanessa is an acupuncturist, bodyworker, and yoga trainer. Her work is a testament to the power of integrating scientific knowledge with spiritual insight, dedicated to empowering individuals to catalyze their own healing and transformation. Vanessa’s approach is not just about managing symptoms but about achieving a radical inner and outer transformation that is both sustainable and life-enhancing.

✴️ Intro to Teaching Yoga for Fertility & Hormone Optimization
Saturday June 14, 2025 2:00pm - 3:30pm EDT
Yoga teachers looking to find an amazing niche should consider learning how to work with individuals who want to get pregnant. Fertility Yoga is the groundbreaking work that explores the different yoga techniques that balance our hormones and release our stress. By releasing our stress our bodies are better able to function with our reproductive needs. Yoga helps with fertility in a number of ways: through stress reduction, encouraging hormonal balance, helping people with their mental health, and helping with pain relief. Yoga is also known to help boost endorphins. The same way that women get balancing of the hormones, a man can also see improvement of sperm production practicing yoga. There have been studies that show that doing fertility yoga during Ivf or art helps increase the chances of getting pregnant as well. Yoga is also helpful for relaxing the muscles of the hips and pelvis to promote a healthy pregnancy. When teaching each fertility yoga class the class ends with a discussion and meditation involving balancing the chakras associated with fertility. This way every pathway is focused on in this fertility yoga class.

✴️ Re-Thinking American Yoga: A Movement for Career Yogis & Alternative to Yoga Alliance
Saturday June 14, 2025 4:15pm - 5:15pm EDT
Calling all career yoga teachers! If you own a studio or plan to make a full-time career teaching yoga you do NOT want to miss this historic presentation. Learn how you can become part of a new movement in American Yoga that improves yoga education and your bank account.
For career yogis, sometimes the yoga world feels a little broken...
Yoga teachers don’t seem to make enough money, yoga studios are churning out YTTs just to make ends meet, and the general public has no idea how to find the right teacher for them in a sea of social media that elevates the bendy and beautiful.
The American Yoga Council(AYC)is a new movement in yoga and a web-app being launched at the Berkshire Yoga Festival with the mission of:
  • Re-Imagining Yoga Credentials: Competencies and mentorships are more important than checking boxes. We don’t need more yoga teachers, we need more excellent yoga teachers. Connecting students to teachers through competencies, NOT follower count. 
  • Sharing the Revenue: Serious yoga teachers and mentors have a retirement fund, and Yoga Schools get a recurring revenue asset
  • Creating the first vertical network for Yoga: Students can find the right yoga teacher for their needs. Teachers can show their skills, training, experience and lineage. 


AYC co-founder Andrew Tanner will sit down with podcaster and long time yoga teacher J. Brown for a presentation, interview and discussion about how we will re-shape the American Yoga landscape in the future.
