YIN YOGA

8am - Yurt 

Jennifer Lane 

 

Soothe your tired dancing muscles with a deep, unhurried practice of Yin Yoga. Melt into long-held poses that soften the connective tissue, quiet the mind, and ground the nervous system.

RISE & SHINE - HEART OPENING BREATHWORK

9am - Boom Room

Luke Alder 

 

Start your day rooted in what matters most. In this morning breathwork journey, we turn toward the highest source of inspiration within us — using the breath as our guide to open the heart and touch what is most alive and true. When the mind steps aside, the body's own intelligence steps forward, revealing a depth of wisdom we often move too fast to feel. Whether you're brand new to breathwork or a longtime practitioner, this session will meet you exactly where you are and carry you somewhere meaningful. Come ready to breathe, open, and rise.

New this year: Saturday and Sunday, 8:30–11pm, the Boom Boom Room becomes Open Decks Lounge before the night kicks into gear. Lower volume, mellow tunes, and non-continuous mixing create a hangout rather than a dance floor, where DJs share technique and curious attendees can swap craft, especially younger DJs and producers looking to mix in front of people for the first time or learn how others put a set together. At 10:30pm, Meredith's glow furniture moves out front and the Boom Boom Room transitions into its full revolving format.

He builds custom devices in Ableton Live: sound design and performance tools that support the kind of mixing he wants to hear, where structure serves intuition rather than the other way around. Original motion picture soundtracks run through his work as a recurring source, film cues threaded into dance music and rebuilt with bass music sensibilities.
