✴️ Yoga of Relationships
Friday June 13, 2025 2:30pm - 3:30pm EDT
Manoj will bring in yogic statues/archetypes and guide you through experiential yogic practices involving the heart and emotions and not some random spiritual platitudes generated by AI/ChatGpt. There will be specific takeaways for your daily sadhana and on skillfully dealing with relationship types such as romance, friendship, workplace, teachers and even break-ups!

Beginning with the relationship with the higher Self, we will explore the relationships of Shiva/Shakti, Sita/Ram, Arjuna/Krishna, Hanuman/Ram-Sita, and Krishna/Radha with sacred stories, philosophy, breath-work, and mantras.

All done using sacred statues (murtis) of these deity archetypes.

With a whole lotta laughter and bowing.

✴️ 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.

✴️ 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.
