Some of Your Favorite Mi Vida Teachers are Heading to Nomadic Yoga Festival, and We Couldn't Be More Excited!
On June 20th and 21st, yogis from all over New Mexico will gather for a weekend of movement, learning, connection, and inspiration. This year, Mi Vida Yoga is proud to be represented by three incredible teachers who will each be sharing their unique gifts with the community.
Crystal Sanchez will kick off the festival with her signature Hot Shakti Yoga, a one-of-a-kind practice rooted in traditional practices, Kundalini Yoga, energy medicine, Tai Chi Chih, and Shaking Medicine. Crystal will also be leading The Breath Reset: Hacking Your Nervous System with Pranayama, a practical and empowering workshop that blends modern neuroscience with ancient yogic breathing techniques to help participants find calm, balance, and resilience.
Heather Smelser will guide festival attendees through Summer Solstice 108 on Sunday morning, honoring the longest day of the year with a powerful practice of Sun Salutations beneath the New Mexico sky. She will also share her passion for accessible yoga through an inclusive Chair Yoga class designed to help students build strength, mobility, confidence, and nervous system regulation in a supportive environment.
Calysta Madesen will bring yoga mythology to life in Storytelling Through the Asanas, an engaging workshop that explores the fascinating stories behind some of yoga's most beloved poses. Through movement, storytelling, and thoughtful sequencing, students will discover a deeper connection to the traditions that have shaped the practice we know today.
Whether you're looking to move, learn, connect, or simply immerse yourself in a weekend of yoga and community, Nomadic Yoga Festival offers something for everyone. We hope you'll join us in supporting our teachers and celebrating the incredible yoga community we are building together right here in Albuquerque.
We hope to see you there!
