Telluride Yoga Festival

Flow through a yoga practice that elevates and enlivens your being while giving your mind the respite it needs. We’re all faced with a storm of endless feeds and information overload in the digital age that makes it challenging to even hear our own thoughts. Let that life go for now as you dive into standing poses, inversions, twists, hip openers, light heart opening, pranayama, and restoratives….all purposely steeped in mindfulness, focus, intention, and plenty of fun along the way. Leave your devices behind and float away on a mountain high, then return with the gift of presence for yourself and your community.

For many people, a chronic pain or an injury can feel like an obstacle to a Hatha Yoga practice. Upon closer examination, with the guidance of someone who has had their own experience with similar issues, we can discover a real possibility rather than a road block. In this class we will practice ways to work with tight or injured parts of the body including shoulders, neck, wrists, lower back, hips, knees and feet. All levels, including teachers, are welcome.

Every yogi eventually passes through the doors of the yamas and niyamas - it’s why they are taught in almost every yoga teacher training. They are the pragmatic principles designed to guide our actions in a cause-and-effect world (“don’t steal,” “give credit where it is due,” “don’t lie,” “be clean,” etc.). We need human decency and accountability. But the yamas and niyamas only go so far and yogis are ready for more. Amy will give you her down-to-earth rundown of the yamas and niyamas and then lead you in a full spectrum practice that will help take you to the next level of grace and freedom in your life!
