Transcend Fest 2025

It's been a long week of Workin' 9-5, so roll out your mat for a trip to the Smokey Mountains, unpack your Coat of Many Colors, and join us among the Wildflowers on the Light of a Clear Blue Morning for a vinyasa flow yoga class set to the empowering tunes of the legendary Backwoods Barbie! This class will be appropriate for all levels of experience--from the very beginner to the experienced yogi. Come as you are and make it your own! Bring your pals from Two Doors Down, but whatever you do, just don't tell Jolene!

Harness the transformative power of positive affirmations to transcend fear, negativity, and anxious feelings! Repeated often, affirmations can shift your mindset, patterns, and ultimately your life. Join Erin for an interactive workshop featuring mantra meditation, positive affirmations, and an energizing vinyasa flow.

You’ll create your own affirmation deck to take home and explore various ways to use it to help you navigate your daily life with a smile. Affirmation cards and all materials are provided, but feel free to bring your favorite quotes, horoscope, song lyrics, poems, or anything else that speaks to you as inspiration!

mudra:
[muh-dra] noun.
a Sanskrit word meaning 'closure' or 'seal'; hand gestures that effect the flow of energy in the body.

Come together in a sacred healing container to learn about mudras and the ways in which they could enhance your yoga practice and heal the chakras. This class will start off with stillness and breath to bring us back into our bodies. We will then transition into gentle poses to awaken stagnant energy, followed by a flow that will create some heat, and ending with restorative poses to calm the body to prepare for savasana.

As Deonna guides you through this all-levels class she will provide you with modifications to suit your needs along with gentle, encouraging words as we move and heal our physical and energetic bodies through the power of mudras and movement medicine.

Energy Medicine Yoga® is an integrative practice, uniting the ancient healing methods of energy medicine and the time-honored tradition of yoga. This magical union works to align and balance the body’s nine energy systems that form the foundation of our health. Classic yoga postures are interwoven with ancient traditional healing modalities including working with the meridian system, tapping, self-massage, holds to calm and regulate the body’s stress responses, and much more. These techniques are your gateway to communicating with the body in its own language, activating its natural healing intelligence. By focusing on your body as pure energy, you are empowered to transform and flow through life radiant and vibrant.

In this workshop, we will dive into 5 Element Theory. We will talk about the traits of each of the 5 elements, learn about how the elements affect your everyday life, and find out how to determine your personal elemental make-up. The workshop will conclude with a flow designed to balance the elements.
Come discover your elements!

Join Kate for Flow and Let Go! We all sometimes feel stuck and weighed down by things in our lives. We hold onto that energy even when long after we need to. This class is designed to get rid of our unwanted energies. Class starts with flow-style movement, warming up the body, and then takes us through some deeper, longer holds, allowing the body then to release what we no longer need. Rooted in the style of vinyasa yoga, linking breath and movement, this class is suitable for all levels. Students can expect the first half of class to be more movement and then the second half of class to be slower.
Kate teaches with a focus on tuning into your own body, both physical and emotional, learning to listen to what you truly need. Her laid-back and authentic approach to teaching creates an inspiring, uplifting, and fun environment.
This class is designed for all levels of asana experience.

A gentle grounding flow leading into a deep yoga nidra to travel on a creative journey into outer space and beyond the conscience mind.

Join Mountain Flower for a profoundly connective ceremony to weave the energies of the mountain, ancestors, celestial beings, and heart-centered participants together as one cosmic family.

Through meditation, drumming, and movement, we'll call forth your spirit guides to join and inspire us. Drums made by Mountain Flower and her uncle, third and fourth-generation drum makers, will connect you to the primal heartbeat of Earth Mother and humanity.
