We understand that yoga is so much more than just poses. That's why we offer
special events that educate, inform, and connect. This year, come to our panel discussions about spiritual
activation and the business of yoga. And don't miss our exciting keynote addresses: Buddhist meditation
teacher Wes "Scoop" Nisker delivers his critically acclaimed comic monologue, and activist Matthew
Sanford,
an Iyengar-style yoga teacher who is paralyzed from the chest down,
talks about how yoga can refine presence in any body.
Events are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.

can bring. This is comedy for the rest of us.
