Kundalini Immersion
the alchemical path
Four Sacred Weekends. Three Pathways. | Maxville, Montana
June 25–27 | July 23–25 | August 20–22 | September 17–19, 2027
There comes a time when simply learning about transformation is no longer enough.
We are called to experience it. To move beyond the intellectual understanding of yoga and into the living wisdom of our own bodies, breath, consciousness and connection to the natural world.
The Alchemical Path is an invitation to do just that.
Set against the mountains of Montana, this seasonal immersion weaves together classical yogic philosophy, traditional Tantra and Kundalini practices, sacred ceremony, meditation, self-inquiry and the ancient understanding that our inner world is intimately connected to the rhythms of nature.
Beginning just after the Summer Solstice and concluding as we approach the Autumn Equinox, our journey follows the movement of the seasons ~ from expansion and illumination toward integration, harvest and reflection.
Whether you feel called to deepen your practice as a dedicated student, expand your knowledge as a yoga teacher, or simply step away from the demands of everyday life for a weekend of meaningful reconnection, there is a place for you here.
You do not need to become someone new. You are invited to remember what already lives within you.
Three PATHWAYS. ONE SACRED EXPERIENCE.
PATHWAY ONE: THE TEACHER TRACK
100+ Hours of Yoga & Kundalini Education and Embodiment
For dedicated practitioners, aspiring facilitators and yoga teachers seeking a deeper relationship with the living teachings of yoga.
01
-
The Teacher Track is a comprehensive hybrid immersion combining four in-person retreat weekends with access to three extensive online educational modules.
Together, these experiences offer more than 100 hours of educational content and guided study, bringing ancient wisdom into direct relationship with your modern life.
This pathway is for those who feel called not only to practice yoga, but to understand its foundations, embody its teachings, and develop the confidence and discernment to share what they have learned.

Guided yoga, meditation and breathwork
Accessible introductions to traditional yogic teachings
Sacred ceremony and seasonal reflection
Journaling, self-inquiry and contemplative practices
Time for rest, nature and personal integration
Connection with a supportive community
On-site lodging and nourishing meals
There are no required assignments, online modules or teaching evaluations.

PATHWAY TWO: SACRED WEEKEND RETREAT
A Weekend to Return to Yourself
For the seeker, the curious, the weary and anyone longing to reconnect with what matters.
-
Not everyone is looking for a teacher training.
Sometimes we simply need space to breathe. To step away from responsibility, quiet the noise, and remember what it feels like to be fully present.
Our Sacred Weekend Retreats offer the opportunity to participate in one or more of the four seasonal gatherings without committing to the complete Teacher Track.
Each weekend is intentionally designed as a standalone experience, with its own theme, practices, and opportunities for reflection.
No previous experience with Kundalini Yoga or Tantra is required.

my Teaching Approach
My work is rooted in a deep reverence for classical traditions of yoga, particularly that of Hatha and Kriya along with aspects of Kundalini, and the teachers who have carried these lineages forward.
I draw from tantra yoga systems including laya, naad, and shabd, weaving together sacred sound, breathwork, and subtle body practices with grounded, accessible guidance.
My approach honors both the depth of the tradition and the individuality of each student, creating a space that is both expansive and supportive.
