Telluride Yoga Festival

Join Erin Cain of Wild Grace, a Path Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor & Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning, for this intimate, untethered group equine therapy workshop. After arriving via shuttle from Mountain Village to her ranch Down Valley in Placerville, Colorado, we will work individually with the horses in a group setting.

The presence of the horse creates a non-judgmental space where participants can express themselves freely and learn valuable life skills. See yourself clearly and without judgment through the eyes of your partnering horse. They don’t care what you’re wearing, what you do for work, what you drive, where you live. They just see You, Remember You.

The human heart produces a magnetic field detectable 3 feet around the body in all directions. A horse’s electromagnetic field measures 5 times larger! Being in their heart space can influence our heart rhythm in a positive, calming, and joyful way. A great way to open your heart and begin the weekend!

Every yoga practice has a beginning. Aerial Yoga is no exception. Whether new to this style of yoga or a wisened practitioner, this session will focus on the language of aerial yoga through a beginner's “mind”.

Soaring for the very first time, at this moment, we will root ourselves into aerial yoga’s language within the field of longevity.

Grounded in the traditions of Hatha Yoga, we will first explore the nuances of aerial yoga postures, where the hammock becomes a partner in assisting body and breath movement, in forward folds, arm balances, twists, standing balances, inversions, and reclined positions.

Once discovered, known as the way of the aerial hammock, the way will become the roots for finding depth in our stretches, elongation in our muscles, opening in our hearts, decompression in our spines, and rejuvenation in our Souls. Once discovered, we will find clues to the way this practice assists us at any age in supporting our longevity and what that might mean in individual and collective development. No experience is necessary.

Tapping into the source of your inner “fire” we will move together with the aerial hammock as our assistant, to cultivate a hOMe world where all life matters. Begin “Close In” poet, David Whyte suggests. We begin this practice by activating our core with postures and expressions that invite a particular way of belonging to/in/within our bodies. Dynamic movement will be the cornerstone of this practice.

From the vision of eco-philosopher David Abram, who re-introduces us to the “more-than-human” world, and deep-time scholar, Joanna Macy, who invites us to see that every action/movement matters, I invite you to join me in extending your heart fire towards who you are becoming and what you stand for. Bridging a series of aerial postures together, discover how your belonging contributes to dreaming of a more ecological world.

This practice intentionally recognizes the vitality you hold within, as a key component, to a dream I have in a current and future thriving, generative hOMe world. No aerial yoga experience is necessary.

The Japanese philosophy of “shinrin-yoku (森林浴)”- ‘Forest Bathing’™ is a delicious practice that rejuvenates the body, soul, and spirit. Our animal bodies have always known the significance of nature connection as an essential condition for life while our Western minds continue to question where, how, and/or why accessing our wild self matters. Drawing upon the energy of Telluride's native trees, mountains, and flowing water, we will immerse ourselves into a more yin aerial yoga practice, discovering ways to bring our souls back into equilibrium. Our wild selves will discover how to find this soothing "forest" energy so we may bring it into our home places. This yummy practice benefits anyone with injuries, high levels of stress, ones needing to be in beauty, or anyone needing a softer movement. No aerial yoga experience is necessary.

Take your yoga practice on the water for an alignment-based flow and enjoy a grounding, playful, peaceful, and restoring workshop on board as we float on Elk Lake. During our yoga practice, we'll soak up views of the San Juan mountains, the town below, and those Colorado bluebird skies above.

What to Bring: Please bring a hat, swimsuit, water-wicking layers or yoga clothes you like to practice in, water, and sunscreen.

Turn the brain upside down. Feel the benefits of delivering more oxygen and nutrients to your brain and giving your pumping heart a break by practicing inverted postures with the aerial yoga hammock.

Inversions become accessible in this practice as the aerial yoga hammock safely suspends your body. Defying the confines of gravity, arm balances, forward folds, and lotus pose take on new meaning.

The possibility of holding inversions longer, anchoring in alignment, and exploring the ways air opens the door to previously unattainable postures is what makes this practice playful and fascinating.

Practice your yoga in the air to move freely, release fear, and float into a deeper understanding of your well-being as the blood reverses itself. Improve circulation, traction the spine, detoxify and increase immunity, and shift your energy with this practice. See the world from a shifted perspective and feel held in its infinite potential. No aerial yoga experience is necessary.

Join international yoga and meditation teacher, Mary Susan Stults for a peaceful and powerful alignment-based sup yoga practice and flow on the water as we journey into the heart of yoga, and create space for ourselves to return home to our breath, body, mind, and heart. The yoga practice is a heart-awakened avenue to knowing and re-remembering the innate wholeness and fullness of our being, and greater stability within. As my teacher and late mentor Maty Ezraty said, “Keep in mind that when you practice yoga, you’re not practicing to improve yourself. You are perfect. The practice is there to help you know that.”

Opening the heart and arching out become accessible with the support of the aerial hammock. Dis-spell temporary backbend anxiousness, tension, unapproachability, or a host of other feelings by letting the hammock become your partner. Or, deepen a practice you already love. This practice is designed to extend the spine, invite the shoulders to broaden, open your airways, and help to restore your natural flexion.

The hammock brings fresh perspectives to back bending where a variety of postures such as arch outs, suspended wheels or inverted bows, and forward fold wrist wraps unfold with new understanding. Integrating strength, flexibility, and mindful breathing feel the vibrance of an open heart. Reduce back pain. Breathe in more oxygen. Stand taller. Become open. No aerial yoga experience is necessary.

Join yoga and meditation teacher and mentor, Mary Susan Stults for a yoga practice on the water, and a moment to slow down with ourselves as we tend to the garden of the being. As yoga practitioners and students, each time we step onto the yoga mat, and each time we live our practice off the mat, we are taking that opportunity to tend to the garden of the self and to give ourselves, our practice, and our life greater attention, awareness, compassion, care, acknowledgment, and love. Meet Mary Susan on board for an inner exploration, and a little gardening out in nature for the body, mind, and spirit.

Join us to re-remember and celebrate our innate wholeness, resiliency, and strength. We'll gather this summer on a Sunday afternoon to take our yoga practice to the water for a soulful and heartfelt workshop and flow on Elk Lake as we seal the learning, connection, contentment, and peace from a weekend well lived.  As my teacher and mentor Maty Ezraty used to say, “Keep in mind that when you practice yoga, you're not practicing to improve yourself. You are perfect. The practice is there to help you know that.” And together, for an afternoon we'll do just that, we'll make space and time to practice, re-remember, and sit in the beauty and goodness of our true nature.
