Our Summer Teacher Training cohort begins June 15
You are welcome here.
All parts of you are embraced in the vast field of yoga.
Our vision is one of an inclusive, diverse, compassionate community that will nourish body, mind, spirit.
Janet lends a warmth and wealth of practice and knowledge to create a unique, safe, potent approach to living yoga.
Through immersive, deep Sadhana (dedicated practice), we become more intimate with our inner self, unwinding hold habits and patterns, exploring our deepest heart intention (Sankalpa) and practicing aligning our moment-to-moment choices with our intention.
This is a place to be reminded, to remember, and to remind others what we’ve seemingly forgotten along the way of this wild, divisive, distracting spin of life, thoughts, old habits and patterns.
Through live and virtual immersions, classes, retreats, trainings, we hope you find a home here.
Portugal has been on the retreat wish list for so many years, and finally—finally—I am so excited to announce that we are going.
Escape to the serene landscapes of Portugal for a rejuvenating retreat. From morning sunrise practices to sunset dinners, our time together will reflect the spaciousness of wide open skies and the calming rhythm of the sea.
We'll head to Monte Velho retreat center in the Algarve to find space to expand our perspective. We'll settle in with views of the Atlantic Ocean, which is about 2 km away, for rejuvenation, practice and incredible food.
Offerings will include daily yoga (twice a day most days), day trips to the beach, access to the spa, sauna and steam room, and fresh, local meals. Optional activities and excursions include stargazing & storytelling, guided hikes through the nature preserve, and SUP, surf or kayaking excursions.
Whatever you are holding, carrying, or feeling, I invite to bring it all. Every emotion is fuel for the practices of bhakti. We put them in the gas tank as fuel, to nourish our deeper intentions.
So, let’s gather together, face in one direction (inward) together, and call to our infinite capacity of love, grace, fierceness, diligence.
Bhakti can be a solace and a window into the clarity so many of us are craving during this time.
Bring alive and learn the ancient mantras, purāṇas (myths),and deities all while chanting from the heart. The practices of bhakti are the practices of loving what is, embracing it fully (even if our impulse toward it is one of aversion) and transmuting it—grief, ugliness, passion, grasping, joy—into a force for presence and being with what is.
