Sunrise Surrender 🌞 Stop Forcing. Start Flowing.

Saturday May 2, 2026 6:00am - 7:00am CDT

Great Lawn

Wake Up with Krista: If it is to be, it's up to me.
As the sun rises over Lake DeGray, we’ll gather outdoors to move, breathe, and soften into the natural rhythm of life.
This gentle sunrise practice blends flowing yoga, mindful movement, pranayama, and meditation, inspired by the wisdom of water. Together, we’ll explore what it feels like to release resistance—letting go of forcing, hustling, and striving—and instead allow ease, clarity, and trust to rise from within.
Like water, we’ll practice adaptability, softness, and quiet strength. Movements will be slow and fluid, the breath intentional, and the pauses spacious. You’ll be guided to listen inward, meet yourself exactly where you are, and step into a state of flow—on the mat and beyond it.
Come as you are.
Leave feeling grounded, open, and gently carried by the current of the day ahead.

Turn up the volume and roll out your mat for a playful, music-driven vinyasa class set to an all-female rock-and-pop mashup featuring Joan Jett, Blondie, and Cyndi Lauper. You’ll move through an energizing, accessible flow that pairs feel-good sequencing with iconic anthems, inviting you to channel confidence, joy, and a little bit of rebellion as you breathe, sweat, and maybe sing along. Come with your best 80s flair—big hair, bold colors, sweatbands, and a touch of Aqua Net energy are all welcome—plus neon leggings, leg warmers, or off-the-shoulder tees that let you move freely. Expect upbeat standing poses, simple balance work, and fun transitions; no perfection required, just your inner rock star and a willingness to have fun.

Jump Start Your Day w/ 💙 Somatic Beats and Cacao Ceremony

Saturday May 2, 2026 8:00am - 9:00am CDT

Soul

Join us for a heart-opening and invigorating group experience that begins with a sacred cacao ceremony. As we sip this ancient, nourishing plant medicine, we’ll soften inward, open the heart space, and deepen our connection to ourselves, one another, and the spirit of cacao.
From there, we’ll transition into a playful and powerful somatic body percussion journey, using tapping, clapping, stomping, and rhythm to awaken the body and reconnect to the primal beat within. Together, we’ll create a shared pulse—grounding into presence, releasing stagnant energy, and igniting aliveness through sound and movement.
This unique blend of ritual, rhythm, and embodiment is designed to leave you feeling energized, grounded, and deeply connected—to your body, your heart, and the community around you.
No prior experience is necessary—just bring your open heart and your enthusiasm.

The Wise Belly: 5 Simple Actions for Core Strength and Inner Healing 💖

Sunday May 3, 2026 8:00am - 9:00am CDT

Heart

Awaken the intelligence of your belly as both powerhouse and inner compass. In this class, inspired by Ana Forrest’s core work, you’ll learn simple, potent actions to strengthen your outer and inner core without old-school crunches or punishing ab routines.

We will weave in classical yogic kriyas, including uddiyana bandha and agni sara, to gently stoke your inner fire, support digestion, and clear energetic stagnation in the gut. Through mindful movement, breath, and deep listening, you’ll reconnect with your center as a source of stability, emotional resilience, and quiet, trustworthy wisdom.

Accessible to all levels; ideal for anyone curious about core strength that supports real life, nervous system regulation, and authentic embodied presence rather than “Suzanne Somers abs.” 😘
