California Yoga Festival

Phyllis Douglass is a certified Yoga Teacher who was an Ashtanga devotee for many years, before taking a detour to a more holistically nurturing and mind-body awakening practice.

Her classes are about moving the body through the breath and liberating the mind, to create resiliency and fluidity throughout all aspects of your life. Yoga is not about being able to touch your toes. It’s about being able to reach for all the things that hold meaning.

Influenced by the study and practice of various styles of yoga, functional movement and dance, Phyllis has a unique ability to recognize and correct faulty movement patterns, improper postural alignment, and compensations within her classes to increase body awareness, balance and flow, and to reawaken your innate body-mind connection.

Angela Saucedo will be facilitating a Bhakti Yoga Class. The Sanskrit word bhakti comes from the root bhaj, which means "to adore or worship God." Bhakti yoga has been called "love for love's sake" and "union through love and devotion." Bhakti yoga, like any other form of yoga, is a path to self-realization, to having an experience of oneness with everything.

Justin Deschamps has been a truth seeker all his life, studying physics, psychology, law, philosophy, and spirituality, and working to weave these seemingly separate bodies of information into a holistic tapestry of ever expanding knowledge. Justin shares what he has discovered with those who are ready and willing to take responsibility for making the world a better place.

Justin Deschamps and Julian Robles created SITS. Two beings staunchly devoted to discovering the truth in our own lives and making the world a better place through living that truth.

But what is The Truth? What is a truth? How do we tell the difference, and what does this ultimately mean for ourselves and what is happening on Earth?

Andre Sandoval was born and raised in Santa Ana California, of Mexican descent and in his 20’s, one of his passions was graffiti art led to a near death experience after falling 3 stories off a building that he was painting.

After learning how to walk again, he realized that the Western approach to his pain management and use of pharmaceuticals were ineffective in his recovery.

In 2012 Andre began practicing Kundalini Yoga and Meditation and at the same time Andre was also baptized by the Native American Church. He was given the name Devajeet Singh which means; “One who overcomes obstacles by experiencing their divine consciousness.” Since then Andre has become an instructor of Kundalini Yoga and opened his own Healing and Wellness Studio.

Smai Tawi is a system of postures and movement that was practiced over 10,000 years ago in KMT, the North Afrikan civilization of pre-dynastic Ancient Egypt. It combines physical movement, meditation, self-study, and breathwork that stimulates the flow of essential life energy (sekem). It is a practice that is true to the meaning of its name “union of two lands,” integrating both the upper and lower bodies towards a full sublimation of the personality to the Self.

It is facilitated by Aja, a Pan Afrakan Holistic Health Therapist Yogini 4 Life, as a moving, hieroglyphic meditative flow for every body that roots Iyengar tradition in Kemetic (Ancient Egyptian) postures to bring your mind, body, and spirit into alignment. Each session grows through you in postures, geometrically progressed sequences, breath work, (heka) sound, and meditation. We begin with raising our consciousness of how Kemetic civilization and cosmology continues to inform our awareness through mythology and socio-historical analysis. We then relate this expansion of mind to the physical and energetic postures that make up the practice of Smai Tawi, Kemetic yoga. This (w)holistic Afrikan practice opens your body channels and invites spirit to free you from root to crown.

Wayne Perry has been applying the diagnostic and therapeutic principles of sound healing and subtle energy medicine to his practice as founder and director of The Sound Therapy Center of Los Angeles, established in 1992. This was the first sound healing facility of its kind in Southern California to offer private services, workshops, toning groups, and sound therapy products.

This leading edge modality also includes diagnostic voice analysis, charting, and specific wellness determinations for each individual.
