Love, Shine, Play Festival

July 23-26, 2026

I will offer a 90-minute class at The Love Shine Play Festival in Asheville NC this year! Prana Radiance: Flow into Soundbath is an energizing journey that blends dynamic vinyasa yoga with qigong-based energy work to connect with and circulate prana throughout the body. Through breath-led movement and rhythmic transitions, you will cultivate vitality, clear stagnant energy, and reconnect with your inner radiance. The practice closes with a deeply calming soundbath that invites the body into deep rest and integration. Leave feeling spacious, radiant, and quietly luminous.
