In(ter)dependence Weekend

July 5–7, 2024

Janet Stone with Guest Faculty NRYN

Through yoga and intentional music crafted from ancient beats, we’re thrilled to gather as a community to celebrate our inter-dependence.

We’ll dive into meditation, pranayama, chanting, yoga asana, dance, hot baths, lovingly prepared food, open time, and space for connection, creativity and collaboration.

Meet us at sacred Esalen on the cliffs, in the hot baths, in the redwoods, on the mat, in the heart.

Let’s rediscover the power of connection together.

10 hours of Continuing Education hours are available with Yoga Alliance; See leader.

This workshop includes an additional $110 faculty tuition.
