Friday Night Yoga, 5:30pm - 8:00pm
Come Home to Yourself: It’s All About the Pelvis
This nourishing evening practice brings you back to your center, the pelvis, as a source of support and stability. Through intentional movement, breath, and grounding poses, we’ll explore how moving from this center creates ease and balance throughout the body. Over time, this can influence how you show up beyond the mat, offering yourself with care rather than depletion. Expect a mix of movement, quiet listening, and a deeply supported savasana. Leave feeling grounded, replenished, and more at home in yourself.
Saturday Morning Yoga, 10:00am - 12:30pm
Hearts Wide Open
Flow through a vibrant blend of gradual, supportive chest-opening poses designed to unlock strength, mobility, and resilience in the upper body. Discover how opening the muscles in the chest can support healthy posture, confident expression, and the ability to handle what comes your way. You’ll leave with practical tools for inversions (more on this Sunday!), backbends, and everyday life, plus a felt sense of openness you can draw on when the world asks more of you.
Saturday Afternoon Yoga, 2:30pm - 5:00pm
Grounded & Generous: Hamstrings, Hips, and Lower Back
Breathe new life into your lower body through a nourishing spectrum of hamstring, hip, and lower back poses designed for both therapeutic relief and renewed vitality. As you create more ease and steadiness in yourself, discover how your ability to give back and make a difference gains more capacity. Walk away feeling freer, more uplifted, and resourced – ready to offer your energy and presence with greater clarity and generosity.
Saturday Evening Farm Dinner, 5:30pm
Enjoy a thoughtfully prepared organic meal from the farm featuring woodfired pizzas and local spring greens.
Sunday Morning Yoga, 10:00am - 12:30pm
Smart Inversions for Real People
If inversions have ever felt intimidating, confusing, or just “not for you,” this Sunday morning session is a safe and supportive place to begin again! We’ll explore upside-down poses as practices of curiosity, trust, and steady progress, not bravado or force.
Through clear alignment, thoughtful preparation, and accessible options, you’ll learn how to approach inversions in ways that honor your body and nervous system. Whether you’re rebuilding confidence, refining familiar inversions, or simply learning how to prepare for inversions without ever going fully upside down, the emphasis is on choice, consent, and intelligent support.
Expect to leave feeling more informed, more capable, and surprisingly calm — with tools you can use both on the mat and in moments when life asks you to see things differently.

One-Day Hands on Assists Training for Yoga Teachers at Joy Collective in Sioux Falls!
A skillful hands-on assist can be deeply supportive, clarifying, and transformative for a student’s practice. At the same time, an unskillful or unconscious adjustment can be confusing or harmful – sometimes more so than offering no assist at all. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to offer hands-on assists that are intelligent, respectful, and truly supportive of your students’ bodies and nervous systems.
This day of immersive training is designed to refine your skills in therapeutic touch, observation, and clear intention. Under Amy’s guidance, you’ll explore a wide range of manual assists for common asanas, learning how to adapt them for different bodies, abilities, and contexts. Emphasis will be placed on consent, communication, and the subtle art of presence—so your assists feel educational, empowering, and safe.
Through guided practice, partner work, and thoughtful feedback, you’ll deepen your sensitivity, confidence, and discernment as a teacher. Come expand your teaching repertoire, sharpen your observational skills, and reconnect with hands-on assisting as an act of service, care, and attunement.
