Prenatal Asana: Moving with Your Changing Body with Kelsey Mueller
Saturday September 12, 2026 11:00am - 12:00pm MDT
Pregnancy and postpartum are often framed as a transition into someone new, as if you are becoming someone you are not yet. This practice offers a different lens: nothing essential is lost in this process. Meet us beneath the cool, shaded arches of the Lavender Pergola to learn how to stay in relationship with what has always been within you while everything around you shifts.

Guided by Kelsey Mueller, this session is designed specifically for prenatal and postpartum bodies (not as a modified version of a standard class, but as a practice created for the intelligence and lived reality of this season). Surrounded by the soothing fragrance of blooming lavender, you will explore how to stay connected to yourself through change without overriding your body's signals.

What to Expect: This workshop-style class guides you through intentional movement designed to support pelvic stability, deep breath awareness, and whole-body integration. Expect grounding postures, joint-friendly strength building, and restorative pauses for nervous system support.

For Teachers Too: If you are a yoga instructor who wants to see real-time prenatal adaptation, functional movement, and nervous system-informed pacing in action, this masterclass is for you.

Come as you are. Your body knows more than you think. All stages of pregnancy, postpartum, and yoga experience levels are warmly welcomed.

Balancing Your Body Flow: The Five Prāṇavāyus
Saturday September 12, 2026 3:00pm - 4:30pm MDT
Restore your body's energetic blueprint in the tranquil, fragrant sanctuary of the Lavender Pergola. Guided by master educator Hansa Knox, this experiential session moves beyond the surface of anatomy to explore the five winds of prāṇa that dictate human movement and cellular healing.

What You Will Explore:
  • The Five Directions: Understand the unique dynamics of the five prāṇavāyus and how they interact to maintain whole-body balance.
  • Releasing Cellular Memory: Discover how trauma and physical injuries restrict prāṇic flow, and how target postures can safely clear these blockages.
  • Energetic Cueing: Master specific āsana alignment and breath patterns designed to enhance and empower your internal current.


This workshop is an intentional blend of lecturing, precise physical movement, and deep energetic awareness. Perfectly suited for yoga teachers looking to elevate their cueing, and practitioners ready to deepen their internal sensitivity.
