Path of Devotion Columbia Gorge • August 30-September 8
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.
Each new day offers a chance to live fully into our path and bring us more in line with our deepest intentions. We'll make space for ten days of deep self study, yoga practice, and falling in love with life again and again.
This unique 10-day training begins by establishing your svadharma, your own personal path. In this immersion, we deepen our relationship with self through the lens of bhakti — the devotional, heart-centered path of yoga. We will establish a foundation of living our daily life with love and devotion to each breath.
We'll gather along the northern bluffs of the Columbia Gorge to expand our perspective, connect with nature, and find space for new ideas and routines.
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.
THE HEART & TECHNIQUE OF HANDS-ON ASSISTS
Offering hands-on assists can be a practice in compassion and communication. Through this course, we’ll explore an approach to assisting, which begins with integrity in your own body and being.
After years of separation and disconnection, we finally feel this sense of moving back into community. This will be a process of rebuilding trust with ourselves and others.
Through dharma talks exploring intention, seeing, and listening, we’ll approach assisting as a practice that goes beyond the physical. Detailed demos will explore the more technical aspects, looking at the biomechanics, perfect fit, and how to communicate through your hands with clarity and confidence.
