(This class is designed for beginners, all students who want to revisit the foundation of their practice, and teachers seeking tools for teaching basics classes.)

"With so much conversation about the importance of self-love, world peace, spiritual awakening, and healing, it seems hard to find the ‘how.’ How do we love parts of ourselves that hurt ourselves or others? How do we resolve our inner conflicts so we can participate in healing a divided world? How do we awaken to the divine within ourselves without bypassing our humanity?

You will experience waves of peace, heightened awareness, and relaxation of the mind and body.

Begin your morning mindfully, with meditation guided by one of Palmaïa's resident 'Architects of Life'. Tantra was born as a movement that does not reject anything in the world. It accepts all paths and teaches us to expand in our daily experience, celebrating life and living it fully as a way to achieve full consciousness. This ancient and timeless system of the subtle aspects of Hatha Yôga incorporates the direct experience of the koshas, ​​the subtle anatomy, the energy body and the movement of prana seeking the creation of the light body, the integration of the physical, subtle and astral bodies and the awakening of higher levels of receptivity and consciousness . In this class we will approach the teachings transmitted by the lineage of our beloved teacher Maa Parvati Nath related to joy of existence, pleasure and bliss. A practice to experience joy & fulfillment from within and understand that life happens from the inside to the outside and not backwards.

Ready to workout? Tune in to your body with Angel, Palmaïa's resident fitness guide in the 'Architects of Life' program. This movement session will begin with an introduction to some basic hand balances and focusing on cultivating strength in our hands. Expect movements that allow for increased wrist mobility and a workout for your core.

Krista Williams, host and co-founder of Almost 30, will share how to tune into your senses and use the body as a sacred practice for manifestation. When we bring awareness to our sensory sensitivity, we can notice how our body responds to pleasure just as much as it responds to stress and trauma. By shifting our intention to tune into the colors, scents, sounds, and tastes that are present in our space, we learn to embody this as a daily ritual of pleasure attunement. When there is awareness and intention, we can call in pleasure to set the mood for our reality and co-create with the Universe. Pleasure as prayer helps us to reframe how we see manifestation and to reintroduce ourselves to the energy that co-creates our reality. We will learn how to tune into our senses and body by witnessing our divinity as part of our sacred practice. In this workshop we will tune into the body, and connect with our pleasure as a guide for creating our future.

"You must nourish each of the Cornerstones in order to be centered and healthy. Otherwise, you will always feel off in some way. For example, you might eat perfectly, but you might be so stressed that your hormones are imbalanced and you struggle to lose weight. You try to meditate, but if you have a compromised gut, your peace will be inhibited with distracting bloating and anxiety. Join Solluna founder, Kimberly Snyder, in this talk (which will incorporate some meditation) to learn about cornerstone #4: Spiritual Growth. She'll cover guided meditations, fostering stillness, aligning with nature, and connecting to True Self. "

The throat lock is arguably the most important of the three bandhas, yet often the most unexplored. When utilized, it acts as a net that gathers and collects prana, ultimately drawing the mind toward a still point. Join Kevin Courtney for a movement session that first architects and shapes jalandhara bandha, then utilizes the 'net' to harness the subtle power of stillness.

Many people are too type-A to take a true restorative class. So this is the Kula solution. As one student put it, ‘You kick my ass for half the class and then kiss it for the rest.” (Sanskrit translation please?) Honey Flow - the most delicious (and stealthily challenging) of Kula style classes. A one hour serving of sticky, dripping Kula Flow, lathered with 20 minutes of yin yoga, a drizzle of restorative asana, and a big savasana cherry on top. Serve it up with some live music and… YUM. (This class is open to all levels, but will be challenging for new practitioners and is inappropriate for those working with an acute injury or physical limitation.)

The Class combines fitness and mindfulness into a cathartic and strengthening mind-body-spirit practice. Join Natalie Kuhn, Co-CEO and a founder teacher of the method, in this class devoted to ocean love. You can practice barefoot or in sneakers, and please note that (unlike a yoga class) your mat will be placed horizontally (parallel to the teacher).

Join The Gypsy Wolf for a sound healing session that will transport you beyond your conscious mind into a liminal space of expansion.

Explore the practice of bhakti yoga (yoga of love and devotion) through chanting, intentional movement, and community. From the awakening in the mantras we'll bring that devotion in motion and explore how alive asanas become when we infuse them with deep love and attention. Bring your voice, your intention and leave your ego at the door.

Sacred geometry is everywhere and within our own body. The spiral is the symbol of an infinite (exponential) energy. We will move from linear into round shapes to maximize our trajectories, especially into the “spinal sequence”. You will be guided to flow and regenerate in a round sensation of pleasure.
