Join us at Esalen at the height of summer—where land, sky, and sea meet—and gather 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 turn both inward and outward—honoring cycles of light and shadow, effort and surrender, solitude and community. This is a gathering 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 each other.
More information
This workshop can be applied as 25 hours toward Janet's training programs or Continuing Education.
Janet’s studentship began at 17 under the meditation teachings of Prem Rawat. His reverence for simplicity and finding joy in the rise and fall of life live on in her practice and teaching today. 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. She aspires not to teach but to allow the practice to emanate from her, letting awareness blend with movement and breath. Based in Bali and San Francisco, she leads immersions, retreats, workshops and more.
Drez transforms the vibe of any scene his sound is set upon. Rooted in underground L.A. hiphop, Dr. EZ applies precise turn-table skills to a cutting edge vision for truly universal music, intelligently integrating elements of hiphop, world music, soul, funk, jazz, and reggae into his trademark sound and production. A master of his craft in the studio and on stage, Drez cuts and composes profoundly original tracks that facilitate body movement practice of all forms— be it dance, yoga asana or after-hours intimate/ecstatic.
