Embodied Movement
Honoring the innate connection inside each one of us. Tune in to expand. Each of our incredible teachers are committed to the deep dive of introspection, growth, and renewal.

There is no way to be truly committed to embodied practices while ignoring our forever home, mother nature. Nestled in the sanctuary of the Good Earth Farm, receive a nature reset nurtured by incredible views and sweet animal friends.

We heal in community. The Sioux River Yoga Festival celebrates the power of human connection and support and seeks to invite diverse perspectives to engage in collaborative progress.
The Good Earth Farm
28318 466th Ave Lennox, SD 57039
The farm is a place where memories are made. Meet the animals, walk around, grab a beverage, and enjoy the South Dakota prairie. The Good Earth is a working farm. Nancy and Jeff use sustainable practices to grow vegetables that are sold through their farm stand. They lovingly take care of the animals that are the life of this place. Their woodfired pizza ovens allow them to create a true farm to table experience. Nancy grows the ingredients that top the pizzas. Other ingredients are sourced from local growers.

Gateways to Freedom
with Jackie Paulsen
In this 90 minute dialogue and movement practice, we will explore what it means to listen to and respond from the body. What are the languages of the body? How can we begin to move with it rather than against it.
Increase trust with yourself, explore boundaries and play with how reclaiming your relationship with pleasure can be the missing link in our healing journey. This class is designed to initiate us into the power of our sensual body - including our voices and the movements within the body both on emotional and physical levels.
This time together will inspire and initiate a much deeper relationship with one's body as the gateway to toward freedom from the stuck places within - including giving us tools to work with grief, fear, overwhelm and shame - where we can become embodied alchemists, transforming past pains into today's power through pleasure and love.

SoundSoul Fusion
with Jenn Fast
Immerse yourself in a journey of sound where harmonious vibrations awaken the senses, rejuvenate the mind, and soothe the soul. This class will include a variety of instruments, including the voice.You will have the opportunity to share your voice or simply listen and bask in the healing sound. We will end with a yoga nidra practice. Yoga Nidra, also known as yogic sleep, invites you to experience a state of deep relaxation while remaining fully conscious. This transformative practice offers a sanctuary for self-discovery, healing, and personal growth.
-
Emotional. Ecstatic. Embodied.
with Carmen Ohm
Experience the holiness of the human body and expand yourself to make way for all that you hold. There is both trauma and wisdom that lives in your body within your lived experiences. In this free form, emotional, and energetic movement practice we make space for all that we carry through unraveling, movement, and surrendering.
This movement practice has roots in Tantra, somatic healing, and is trauma informed. This movement practice can be done by anyone regardless of ability because of the ways the body speaks to us. Every human heart carries the love, beauty, and transformative power of Divinity within it.
