Path of Devotion Columbia Gorge

Path of Devotion Columbia Gorge

Overview

Path of Devotion. Let’s break this down.

Path: a course or direction in which a person is moving.

Each new day offers a chance to live fully into our path and bring us more in line with our deepest intentions. The traditional sense of achievements are on pause, allowing us to carve out a path that is in integrity with where we want to place our attention and time.

Devotion: what we devote our time, attention, our life force to.

This is a recommitment to the love and enthusiasm we bring to this life and to each moment.

We'll make space for ten days of deep self study, yoga practice, and falling in love with life again and again.

Curriculum

This unique 10-day training begins by establishing your svadharma, your own personal path.

Three themes will create a foundation for our practice and study:

  • Sankalpa: Unearthing your deepest intention/soul longing. What am I up to with this precious life resource?
  • Adhikara: Assessing your strengths and your greatest opportunities for growth.
  • Sadhana: Integrating practice and self-study into everyday life. How do I create a personal practice that is sustainable and attainable?

With this deeper understanding of your personal path of yoga, we’ll dive into the training’s core curriculum with experienced guidance from Janet Stone and top-of-their-field guest teachers.

  • Meditation: Slowing the fluctuations of the mind to experience presence
  • Mantra/Chanting: Opening your heart through your voice in a practice of devotion, surrender and clear intention
  • Pranayama: Using the breath to access the subtle body to nourish your life force
  • Asana, alignment, and anatomy: Coming to the physical practice as a means of self-study and honoring of our embodiment
  • Storytelling: Connecting to your own inner archetypes through the power of mythology
  • Philosophy: Exploring the history and philosophy through the practice and discussion

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.

Guest faculty will include Marti Nikko and DJ Drez.

In 1996, she traveled to India, the birthplace of her grandfather, and became dedicated to the path of yoga. Janet blends the alchemy of her own practice with decades of studentship.
