Undoing The Primary Pattern: Age Happier

Friday June 13, 2025 10:00am - 11:30am EDT

Potter Brothers - Sponsored by H Mixture

We all develop movement patterns as we walk through life. This workshop addresses the primary pattern of life. It’s the impact of time and gravity on the body. And while it can be augmented with different environmental, familial, or social patterns, the primary pattern is one we all have in common. Whether your age or degree of flexibility, Avita Yoga identifies the patterns and the restrictions they create to unwind them both. The result is more happiness.

Let go of tension and surrender to a practice designed for deep rest and renewal. In this immersive experience, you’ll work with gravity, not against it, as you nestle into soothing restorative aerial yoga poses, each one held for several minutes to encourage a gentle unraveling of stress and a full-body sense of ease. Allow the silk to cradle you and offer you its soft support, while you melt into weightlessness, inviting deep comfort with every breath.
As movement fades into stillness, surrender to Yoga Nidra, a meditative journey that lulls you into a state of profound relaxation—one where the body rests, the mind unwinds, and the spirit reawakens. Emerge feeling refreshed, renewed, and ready to float into the rest of your evening with lightness and clarity

Neck & Shoulders FILLING

Saturday June 14, 2025 12:00pm - 1:30pm EDT

Burbank Room - Sponsored by Himalayan Institute

The shoulders have the greatest range of motion of all our joints, which makes them a likely target for losing their movement potential. As movement potential is lost, arthritis, calcification, and degeneration occur. We’ll examine the intimate anatomical and movement relation between the shoulders, upper back, and neck. Avita Yoga is far more than improving the range of motion—it’s about healing and remodeling your joints for better health. We’ll cover several unique and potent neck movements to help preserve the vertebral health of the cervical spine.
