Denver Yoga Summit

What if your core workout was also a philosophy class?

This dynamic session blends the precision and control of Pilates with the intensity of HIIT-style intervals, woven together by the five Yamas — yoga's foundational ethical teachings. Each movement sequence carries both a physical intention and a philosophical one, so students are not just building strength but practicing the way they want to live.

The class moves through a grounding breath and spinal articulation series rooted in Ahimsa — non-violence, meeting the body with honesty and care. Bridge work anchors the practice in Satya, truthfulness about what the body can actually do today. Core mat sequences draw on Asteya, taking only what is needed and nothing more. The session builds into HIIT-style Tabata intervals — no-jump burpees, mountain climbers — held within the spirit of Brahmacharya and Aparigraha, channeling energy with focus and releasing the need to compete or compare.

You’ll leave with a stronger body, a felt sense of the Yamas in action, and proof that the mat and the rest of life are not as separate as they seem.

Some classes ask you to work. This one asks you to arrive. Step into the sanctuary and be guided by the soothing presence of Davida Wright and accompanied by the soulful, live acoustic guitar of Mike Galvin, this session is a masterclass in radical rest and deep somatic healing.

Unlike active practices, this Yin session invites you into unhurried, floor-based shapes held for several minutes to target deep connective tissues and melt away hidden tension. As Davida guides your physical alignment, Mike’s acoustic melodies shape the atmosphere with a gentle, floating spaciousness.

The Journey: You will begin with a grounding breathwork ritual to anchor your awareness, then melt into receptive postures designed to unlock physical stillness and emotional release.

The Atmosphere: The live music creates a rich, resonant soundscape that wraps around the entire space, supporting your nervous system in absolute surrender and deep connection.

The music will relax you. The practice will nurture you. All bodies, minds, and experience levels are warmly welcomed.

If you’ve ever felt stuck teaching the exact same flows on repeat, this masterclass is your antidote. Join global sequencing mentor and founder of the Steal My Flow movement, Juliana LaRochelle, for an interactive, 90-minute workshop designed to shatter your creative blocks and streamline your lesson planning.

This session is explicitly not about performing advanced asanas or forcing tricky, unsafe transitions. Instead, you will master 4 simple, highly adaptable methods to make your standard public classes feel fresh, artistic, and deeply inspiring while remaining completely accessible to everyday bodies.

• The Interactive Formula: Juliana will lead a high-impact mini-lesson on creative mapping, followed by collaborative group breakouts where you will work with your peers to build your own fluid sequences.
• The Professional Takeaway: Walk away with a concrete, repeatable formula you can return to week after week, ensuring you never have to wait for inspiration to hit before a class.
• Who it is for: Certified yoga teachers, teacher trainees, and dedicated practitioners looking to understand the deeper architecture of Vinyasa.
• Note: This is a limited-capacity workshop. Please ensure you have upgraded your Visitors Center to a Teacher Track Ticket to secure your spot and receive your continuing education credits.

What if a few subtle, deliberate shifts in your language and spatial awareness could radically alter how safe a student feels on their mat? This specialized workshop invites you to explore how teaching from a trauma-informed lens isn't a complex overhaul of your entire style—it is an intentional refinement of how you show up for your students and support their nervous systems.

Led by an expert in somatic regulation, you will learn how to transition from traditional commanding cues to choice-based, invitational language that respects individual boundaries. Bring your curiosity, and expect to leave with profound insights worth sitting with and immediate adjustments you can make in your very next class.

Hanuman’s Journey & Our Inner Ramayana: In this entertaining talk, Dr. Manoj Chalam illuminates Hanuman’s journey in the Ramayana and will relate it to the archetypical Hanuman energy within you. Like Hanuman we can access super human powers of wisdom, strength and service alongside deep humility and “move big Boulders”. Learn how awakening this energy leads to explosive transformation, both within and in the outside world, be it spiritual, personal or professional.

In parallel, Manoj will guide us with stories and symbolisms of the Ramayana through the lens of Advaita Vedanta philosophy; where Lord Ram is an avatar of Consciousness (Higher Self of formless), Sita is us (lower self in form) and Hanuman is the uniter of us to Consciousness.
