Bhatki Rising: Journey into the yoga of devotion through myth, mantra, and movement

Bhatki Rising: Journey into the yoga of devotion through myth, mantra, and movement

Overview

Step into the living stream of bhakti—the yoga of devotion—through chanting, storytelling, and embodied practice.

Across centuries, chants, myths, and movement have carried the timeless themes of our shared humanity: love, loss, courage, surrender, joy. In this retreat with Janet Stone, we’ll journey into the stories of the deities that inspire the chants—archetypes that mirror aspects of our own inner landscape and illuminate the path of our personal hero’s journey.

Through Janet’s heartfelt storytelling, soul-stirring chanting, grounding meditation, and dynamic yoga practices, you’ll open space for healing, awakening, and connection—body, mind, and spirit.

In this program, we will explore:

  • Mantras and meanings
  • Stories of the deities, aspects of the self, and the telling our own stories
  • Yoga asana and pranayama
  • Meditation
  • Freeing your voice
  • Sanskrit chants
  • Redefining our story

Join us for a weekend of devotion, practice, and remembrance—an immersion into the heart of bhakti where the individual meets the eternal.

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.
