Sunrise Yoga 🌟 Embrace the Magic of Morning Practice

Friday October 4, 2024 6:45am - 7:30am CDT

Rock Patio

Carpe diem! Embrace the magic as the sun peaks over the mountain top along side your fellow yogi friends, new and old. Wake up with Cheryl to focus your awareness and spirit within your body through this gentle flow, establishing a soulful daily practice. We will begin slowly with meditation, incorporate mindful breathing, and transition between postures with ease. It's a blissful experience where your mind, body, spirit, community, and nature come together as one. Sunrise at 7:07 am.

Invigorate and wake up with a morning practice. We will begin slowly so we can lubricate the joints and encourage ease of movement after a night's rest. This class will move through standing grounding poses, sweet half sun salutations and vinyasa sequences with lunges, twists and shoulder openers. Eventually, we make our way back down to the earth to continue to facilitate a sense of awareness to the body so that we can take this into the rest of our day. We will end with a short breath practice that is intended to enliven our body and a short savasana connecting us to the earth. This class is open to all levels and is intended to help you move into your day with ease.

Yoga Meets Strength Training: The Turkish Get-Up

Root Room

The Turkish get-up (TGU) is a comprehensive full-body exercise that will strengthen all the major muscle groups, increase mobility all throughout the body, and will improve conditioning or heart health. The TGU takes you from supine to standing with a weight in an overhead position – It is essentially loaded yoga and is highly accessible to yogis because the movements of the get-up will be familiar from yoga practice, and because the foundation for a good get-up is body awareness and breath. Come to this workshop to learn how to apply your yoga practice to a full-body strength training exercise that hits all the bases! We will practice with blocks (provided) AND if you have a kettlebell or dumbbell at home, bring it and use it!

Sun Salutations 🌟 The Alexander Technique

Friday October 4, 2024 9:30am - 10:30am CDT

Rock Patio

Practice a gentle Sun Salutation Flow in a new mindful way through the application of The Alexander Technique (AT). AT is not a technique per se, it is a methodology of moving that connects "thinking and doing". The methodology was developed by FM Alexander in the late 19th Century, and is used by actors, dancers, musicians, singers and athletes to find the most possible freedom in the body, and achieve maximum efficiency in the mind/body connection. The practice of AT retrains the body to change physical habits that may cause injury over time, and/or are interfering with the best possible use of our whole self.

Hard Conversations 101 💙 Deeper Levels of Love and Connection

Friday October 4, 2024 3:00pm - 4:00pm CDT

Root Room

Conflict is a necessary part of improving and evolving relationships. In the heat of the moment, it is hard to see it this way, but conflict should be something that we all welcome and embrace because it is conflict resolution that leads us to deeper levels of love and connection with the people around us, whether they are our partners or family or coworkers or neighbors or even strangers. Hard conversations are a necessary part of conflict resolution, but many of us find ourselves avoiding hard conversations and landing in a minefield of resentment, anxiety, and stress because we are ill-equipped to lead a hard conversation and have a history of them not going well. This workshop is all about improving your relationships by leaving this avoidant behavior pattern behind and empowering yourself with the knowledge of how to have hard conversations. You will learn to be a better active listener and the seven steps of how to have hard conversations. Come ready to take notes and engage with others!

Unlock Your Potential: Functional Mobility Training for a Healthy Life
Healthy movement is one of the keys to a healthy life, and mobility is foundational to healthy and functional movement. While a regular yoga practice can help increase mobility slowly over time, a more targeted and well-rounded approach will speed-track progress and help identify a person's unique limitations and needs. This class is for anyone looking to dive deep into a functional and targeted approach to mobility training. Expect to move your body in new and different ways, explore the available range of all of your joints, uncover your limitations, and learn tools to help you overcome them. Our approach will involve some banded and weighted stretching and it will be structured more like a workout with reps and sets as opposed to a yoga-style flow or long stretches. You will learn to move more efficiently, prevent injury, improve balance and flexibility, build strength, and improve your overall quality of life!

LUNCH + LEARN 🤍 Optimize Gut Health: Symptoms, Solutions, and Strategies ($25 or BYOL)

Saturday October 5, 2024 12:15pm - 1:15pm CDT

Heart Ballroom

In this lunch presentation Dr. Cole will take a holistic look at gut health. He will go over what obvious gut-related symptoms usually mean, as well as consider the non-gi related symptoms that plague the modern human--such as fatigue, anxiety, depression, and skin conditions to name a few--and then clue you in as to how an unhappy gut can be causing or contributing to these conditions. Potential treatment options for these complaints will also be discussed. Subtopics include diet, digestion and absorption, autoimmunity, gut infections (parasites, bacterial, fungal, yeast), microbiome health and more. You can purchase the salad buffet from the Resort or bring your own lunch. We will be sitting at rounds in a ballroom overlooking the water in an environment easy to listen and learn.

Let us take the stress off of you for lunch! $25 fee for us to provide lunch to you during this awesome presentation or bring your own lunch and join us as well. Purchase Box Lunch on our ticket page: ADD-ONS.

Find a body and mind balance in this meditative practice where you will not only release muscle tension, but also release the dense fascia surrounding your muscles. You will be holding a fairly easy posture for about 3 to 5 minutes. When you release out of the pose, there will be fresh, new, oxygenated blood that will enter into the targeted area, so it's very healing for your body. This practice is known to reduce stress and anxiety, increase circulation, and improve flexibility. The class is for all levels.

Trauma Clearing ✨ How Emotions Are Affecting Your Health

Saturday October 5, 2024 3:00pm - 4:00pm CDT

Soul Room

Trauma and emotions can have a significant impact on your overall health. The experience of trauma can lead to prolonged stress, which in turn can affect various bodily systems, such as the immune system and the cardiovascular system. Additionally, unresolved emotional distress can contribute to conditions like anxiety, depression, and even physical ailments. It's important to address and manage these impacts on your health. Dr Cole Fennel DC will discuss current research in this field and give a demonstration of how Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) can be used to clear trauma and optimize health. Volunteers are welcome for a live experience demonstration.

This class and Stacey have been at YOTM for 11 years! You were wonderfully and uniquely made. Purpose. Passion. Pain. What seperates you from the Sunlight of Spirit? What is your Truth? We will be asking ourselves insightful questions while moving through our Shadow while on our mats. We will address the past and what obstacles stand in the way of making space for living out your divine purpose. The Gift is a YOTM tradition. Every year we change so the answers shift with the seasons of life. Slow vinyasa, strongish all levels. Asana and lecture. Less flow and longer held poses.

Group Nap: Gong Sound Immersion 💧Restorative Yoga

Saturday October 5, 2024 4:30pm - 5:30pm CDT

Heart Ballroom

Nourish yourself in sound and meditation lovingly crafted to relax your entire being! Come experience an ancient, multi-dimensional sound immersion. This is an acoustic journey with tremendous transformative power. A gong delivers deep vibrational resonances and complex harmonics that extend an invitation to shed dissonant energy, liberate blocked energy, and attune to your best and most vital self. Of all the sound healing instruments, gongs are most well known for entrainment – the ability to synchronize brainwaves and offer the nervous system a profound reset. This class centers around the gong and incorporates other sound implements such as a chimes and crystal bowls with a guided meditation into and out of the session. Please bring your yoga mat and a blanket or two and come well hydrated to take maximum benefit of this experience.
