Denver Yoga Summit

In a world that rarely asks you to be still, yin invites you to drop beneath the surface and explore the quieter world within. Here, the body becomes a landscape. Stillness, the guide. Each posture, an invitation. Each breath, a homecoming.

This slow, contemplative yin yoga practice emphasizes long-held, floor-based postures that target the deeper connective tissues of the body. The class invites stillness, patience, and inward attention, and creates space for physical release and mental quiet.

Ideal as a complement to more dynamic practices, this session supports flexibility, joint health, and nervous system regulation while cultivating mindfulness and introspection.

The Devi Mahatmya is one of the most profound mythological transmissions within the yogic tradition. It is an unfolding of the Divine Feminine as creator, sustainer, and destroyer. In this teaching, the Goddess is not a distant deity, but an intelligent, living force that arises whenever balance is disrupted meeting illusion, limitation, and fragmentation with radical clarity and grace. This workshop is an immersion into the myth as a living map of consciousness. Rather than studying it as symbolism alone, we enter its field, allowing the narrative to mirror the inner process of transformation.

Through story, meditation, practice, and inquiry, you will be invited to experience the myth as a mirror of inner transformation, the Goddess as living intelligence, and the cyclical nature of creation, preservation, and dissolution. You will also receive an initiation into three Kriya techniques that you can integrate into your own classes, offering practical tools to guide students into embodied states of awareness, energetic clarity, and inner stillness through lived experience rather than concept.

Did you know that your traditional yoga practice might be creating a structural blind spot? Many practitioners and teachers unknowingly overemphasize external hip rotation (think Pigeon Pose, Warrior II, and tree pose), inadvertently creating chronic instability in the SI joint, lower back, and pelvis.

Led by elite movement coach and Exercise Physiologist Nick Venuti, this eye-opening workshop unpacks the critical biomechanics of hip health. Drawing from his extensive training and his work coaching everyday professionals up to NHL players, Nick introduces the vital role that internal rotation plays in long-term joint longevity.

This is an interactive masterclass where science meets self-awareness. You will learn easy-to-implement corrective drills, isolated yoga/Pilates-based activations, and clever sequencing strategies designed to restore global balance to the pelvic ring.

The Takeaway: Step off the mat with a radical new understanding of pelvic stability, balanced hip function, and an actionable template to protect your lower back from injury.

Who it is for: An essential workshop for yoga teachers wanting to upgrade their cueing safety, as well as dedicated practitioners navigating mysterious low-back or hip tweakiness.

The Framework: Shift your awareness from external sensory input to internal energetic restoration. Hosted by esteemed global pioneer Nischala Joy Devi, this experiential workshop bridges traditional Upanishadic scripture with advanced relaxation science to map the architecture of human wholeness.

The Five Layers We Will Decompress:

• Annamaya Kosha (Physical): Systematically releasing deep-seated muscular tension and structural holding patterns on the mat.
• Pranamaya Kosha (Energetic): Balancing the breath matrix to regulate vital life force and cool the nervous system.
• Manomaya Kosha (Mental): Quieting the analytical mind, emotional loops, and everyday sensory overwhelm.
• Vijnanamaya Kosha (Intuitive): Activating higher wisdom, witnessing awareness, and clear inner knowing.
• Anandamaya Kosha (Bliss): Resting effortlessly in your true, unconditioned nature—pure joy, connection, and peace.
• The Takeaway: Walk away with an unshakeable state of mental clarity, a completely recharged biological battery, and a functional framework for daily somatic self-care. Absolutely open to everyone. Please bring a blanket and an eye cover.
