Join us at Esalen — where land, sky, and sea meet — and gather at the height of summer in devotion to movement, music, and one another.
This retreat is a celebration of bhakti: the yoga of love made tangible through asana, chanting, rhythm, story, and shared presence. Together, we’ll practice beneath the sun, listen to the waves, and let the natural beauty of this place remind us what it means to belong.
Guided by Janet Stone and DJ Drez, our days will weave strong and soulful yoga practice with music, mantra, mythology, and moments of stillness. We’ll sing, move, dance, rest, and remember — creating space to reaffirm intention, soften the nervous system, and reconnect with what matters most.
At the edge of the continent, we’ll turn both inward and outward to honor cycles of light and shadow, effort and surrender, solitude and community. This is a gathering designed to be felt as much as practiced.
Come as you are. Bring your mat, your voice, your curiosity, and your willingness to be moved by the land, by the music, and by the bonds we will form together.
This workshop includes an additional $175
