Panel Discussion: Is Yoga Risky? Can We Make it Safer?

The topic of yoga injuries has been controversial, in part due to overblown media reports on the dangers. Still, ahimsa, or nonharming, forms the philosophical basis of the entire practice of yoga, and it's vital to do all we can as teachers and practitioners to lessen the risks. Are particular poses like Headstands simply too dangerous, or are there ways to teach even challenging poses safely? How do we weigh the risks and the benefits of different practices for different students? How can yoga professionals respond to inaccuracies in media reports, and get the truth out? Join the discussion with Baron Baptiste, Gary Kraftsow, Timothy McCall, and Elise Miller.

Create A Life You Love

"Goal setting" is a powerful tool, but without a meaningful vision to live into, goals alone can become a checklist at their best, and stale or "hollow" at their worst. Spend some time with us looking into the future in order to set your personal vision; one that is grounded in your passions and unique gifts, gets you excited (maybe even nervous?), and leaves a legacy you love.

Hindu and Buddhist Deities: The Power of Their Archetypes in Yoga

Through their myths, we'll uncover hidden symbolisms and learn the four ways to work with them as part of a nondualistic Tantric yogic practice. Discover how knowing and working with your archetypes can profoundly shift you, especially during moments of life transitions, and how these ancient teachings have practical relevance to your life, bringing peace of mind and uncovering our underlying common spirit.

Kirtan Concert with Krishna Das

Layering traditional Hindu kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Krishna Das has been called yoga's "rock star." With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das--known to friends, family, and fans as KD--has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling chant artist of all time. His latest album, Live Ananda, was Grammy-nominated for Best New Age 2012 album, and the documentary film One Track Heart: The Story of Krishna Das is being screened around the United States and other countries this year. He is also the curator for Krishna Das Yoga Radio, channel 360, on SiriusXM radio.

"Chanting is a way of getting in touch with yourself. It's an opening of the heart and letting go of the mind and thoughts. It deepens the channel of grace, and it's a way of being present in the moment."
-Krishna Das

There will be chairs available. If you'd like to sit on the floor, please bring something to sit on.
