Podcasts about sedona yoga festival

Let's talk festivals, yoga friends. Festivals, conferences, and workshops are where we learn, connect, and nourish our profession together.We meet new friends, nerd out on our favorite topics, and share our stories with other yoga folks who understand our language, values, and passions.So this week Heather Shereé Sanders talks to us about the Sedona Yoga Festival, what lights her inner fire about networking people together, and why themes capture the best of the moment. Key Takeaways:*It used to be the goal to be a yoga teacher who travels, but through covid, it made the industry shift perspectives on where we go and why. There used to be a circuit that yoga teachers who were well known would travel on, teaching in different cities all over the world. Now those festivals have gone by the wayside, replaced by more local and regional feeling events that foster community. I love a lot of what this shift has indicated for us and our priorities. How about you?*Especially here in 2024, I agree with Heather that we just want to get back together again. We want to gather in groups and connect and move and learn and grow together. Heather's theme of the conference this year, being all together, now, is what we all want.*We do want to connect as much as learn, and if you ask me this is THE reason I go to festivals and conferences. I swear at least ½ of the people on this podcast I have connected with in some way during a festival or conference. I love meeting y'all out in the wild, learning what lights your inner fire, and getting to share bits of your passion on this podcast. So let me say a heartfelt thank you to those of you whom I have met in these spaces–you are the best.*Do you want to do events? Small events? Big events? You all need a theme. My studio community just gave me some guff for hosting a potluck without a theme–and they were right. If you want to know more about how to do this, I just read a book called The Art Of Gathering by Priya Parker to learn how to make skillful parties, gatherings, and events.*How are we facilitating connection in our communities? I know that this is something I have asked before on the podcast, and connection is one of my forever themes for my life, but I want to say we don't need to host giant events to facilitate community among our people. Book clubs, potlucks, murder mystery nights, movie screenings & discussions, and collaborative outside experiences like forest baths are some of the things I have done in my community that have been well-received. I have done bigger events too, of course, but those small events can seem much less intimidating and also create great meaning for people.RESOURCESWorking In Yoga WebsiteWorking In Yoga NewsletterSedona Yoga Festival WebsiteSPONSORSunlight Streams BlogSunlight Apothecary

Oneika Mays has always been a seeker, even as a young child. She grew up in a stable family structure, went to good schools, and even landed in a fulfilling career she loved. But there was always something nagging at her, just below the surface: she wanted to trust herself, but couldn't quite get there. Then, one day in yoga class, her instructor said “You can change or be comfortable, but not both.” As tears streamed down her face she realized she needed a change, and was ready to embrace the discomfort.  Fast forward to today and Oneika is still a seeker, learning and transforming as she teaches yoga and meditation to individuals and groups both inside prison and on the outside. She has an amazing story - please join us to hear Oneika's perfectly imperfect journey.    About Oneika Mays: Oneika Mays (LMT, E-RYT) transitioned to yoga and meditation from a 20 year career in corporate retail leadership over 10 years ago. Oneika used that experience to support social justice non-profits and teach meditation/yoga inside jails. Today, she is the first Mindfulness Coach at Rikers Island Correctional Facility. At Rikers she works one-on-one with community members in a therapeutic setting. Sessions are a combination of modalities and are infused with compassion. These sessions help people foster resilience and agency. She believes that our justice system needs to focus on transformation and restoration rather than punishment. This idea of liberation and compassion is woven into her work whether it's in a jail, speaking to audiences or teaching meditation. In addition to teaching meditation and yoga Oneika facilitates workshops and trainings centered around resilience, liberation and compassion. She believes that meditation, movement and mindfulness practices can forge a path to freedom.   Currently Oneika is working on a scripted project she created, Blur, a story about two atypical teenagers navigating their identity in the 1980s. Her co-writer is Steven Mclaine. Oneika is bringing meditation and yoga to Arizona as a featured presenter at the Sedona Yoga Festival. She is also the co-host of the soon to be released podcast, But You Don't Sound Black with Rasheed J. Daniel. She can currently be seen on TBS' Lost Resort.

Kat and Kyle interview yoga photographer and all-around awesome human Robert Sturman at the Sedona Yoga Festival.

Moving to Sedona means I have access to a limitless array of workshops and public talks around healing and self-discovery. While attending the Sedona Yoga Festival this past week I participated in a workshop with Julia Mikk and fell in love with her teachings which led to this interview. SPECIAL NOTE: Please don't listen to this interview while driving as I asked Julia to share a short breath exercise with us that I think you will find VERY powerful!
