Step off the grid and onto your mat in one of Colorado’s most breathtaking settings. Join creative sequencing expert and founder of the Steal My Flow movement, Juliana LaRochelle, at the stunning Open Air Chapel in the botanic gardens. Surrounded by wildflowers and native plants, this dynamic, 60-minute all-levels Vinyasa masterclass uses the Rocky Mountain foothills as your natural altar.
Grounded in inclusivity, Juliana’s intuitive teaching style allows every practitioner to customize their journey in real time. The first 50 minutes of class are dedicated to a creatively woven, continuous flow that builds internal heat while melting away stored tension. The session culminates in 10 minutes of intentional community-building, bridging the connection from the mat to the collective space around you. Walk away feeling centered, inspired, and deeply connected to your fellow attendees. Every body is welcome.
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.
Roll out your mat on the Main Stage Field and look up at the towering foothills of the Rockies. Now, prepare to look inward.

As a bilateral amputee, Dan’s deeply moving perspective on what it truly means to "root down to rise up" breathes new life into the phrase "yoga for every-body". This all-levels sequence is meticulously structured to build physical strength, unwavering confidence, and radical presence. Expect highly thoughtful sequencing, exceptionally clear physical options, and an unshakeable emphasis on feeling profoundly empowered in your body exactly as it is today. Come stand strong against the backdrop of the mountains. All levels, bodies, and backgrounds are warmly welcomed.
Step off the frantic pace of daily life and into an ancient movement ritual of total rejuvenation. Presented by Sunny Isle Yoga and hosted in the breathtaking Open Air Chapel, this session invites you to experience the Classical Hatha Yoga Sivananda Sequence—a systematic "science of the soul" designed to balance your chakras and recharge your energetic blueprint under the open Colorado sky.
Guided by master teacher Mimi Morales, the practice begins with foundational pranayama (advanced breathwork) to clear mental static and cool the nervous system. From there, Mimi will skillfully lead you through the 12 foundational asanas, structurally engineered to optimize every major biological system of the body. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a curious beginner, you will leave this sacred chapel space with a profound sense of inner stillness and a practical, lifelong template for your home practice.
Roll out your mat on the Main Stage Field and prepare to step into the deeper, evolutionary layers of your practice. Rooted in ancient Tantric traditions and Himalayan Kriya Yoga, this powerful 90-minute immersion is guided by globally trained Sattva Yoga Master Teacher Catherine Wetenkamp. More than just a class, this session is a direct energetic transmission where breath, conscious awareness, and primal life force begin to move as one giant wave against the backdrop of the Rockies.
Kriya utilizes a precise combination of breathwork (pranayama), energetic locks (bandhas), sacred sound (mantra), and subtle, repetitive movement. These ancient technologies are engineered to safely awaken and guide your Kundalini Shakti (inner current) with absolute precision and reverence.
The Transformation: Kriya is often described as evolutionary action. It doesn’t just shift how you feel for an hour; it radically alters the lens through which you perceive reality, dissolving the mental barriers holding you back. This is your sacred space to refine your sensitivity to prana, clear away stubborn subconscious blockages, and experience what becomes possible when your system is prepared to hold more energy, more awareness, and more truth. Grounded, fierce, and deeply inward, this is for those ready to move beyond the surface of asana and into the work that transforms from within.

Hours spent hunched over a laptop or phone inevitably create the “desk body” (rounded shoulders, sleepy glutes, locked-up hips, and forward head posture). Over time, these structural patterns chip away at your daily energy, cloud your focus, and compromise long-term spinal health.

Come breathe in the fresh foothills air, move with intuitive grace, and experience a practice that is both physically alive and quietly meaningful.
It’s not just about strength or flexibility — the alignment of your shoulders in yoga postures has everything to with scapular strategy.
In this workshop, we’ll demystify scapular biomechanics and anatomy to have the full picture so you’re not just following cues - you’re understanding the whole system. We’ll break down the how and why of the shoulders in weight-bearing postures so you can stop “muscling through”and build your foundation with intention. You’ll learn how your shoulder blades move with the arms overhead in postures like chair pose or even downward dog (hint: it’s not back and down!).
When you see how all the pieces fit together, subtle shifts in awareness will transform shaky transitions into grounded confidence. Expect anatomy made practical, drills you can feel immediately, and a whole new relationship with your shoulder alignment in yoga postures!

Did you know that your traditional yoga practice might be creating a structural blind spot?
