Yoga and Devotion: Living Life With Joy and Purpose

November 1–3, 2024

Hannah Muse

Attention is the beginning of devotion. – Mary Oliver

A life of fulfillment requires fostering connection with what truly matters to us, whatever that may be. It’s easy to lose sight of what we’re devoted to. In this workshop, we’ll have tranquil, uninterrupted space for yoga, storytelling, and contemplative practice to clear our minds and imbue our hearts with deep remembrance.

This yoga workshop offers a profound and playful opportunity to commune with the deeper aspects of self through movement, meditation, live music, and inquiry. With equal parts courage and tenderness, we’ll hone our beings to be vessels for devotion to move through.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • Yoga and embodiment journeys
  • Meditation, songs, and stories of the ancients
  • Fire, water, sound ceremony
  • Contemplative practice, writing, and self-inquiry

Our nourishing schedule is balanced harmoniously with relaxing meals, community care, and soaks in Esalen’s healing baths. Music, nature, poetry, connection, and ritual are exquisitely curated to accompany your journey.

Whether you’re searching for renewed meaning in life, navigating life’s complex transitions, or simply love being drenched in the divine, this workshop will help awaken your spirit to courage, enrich your heart with devotion, and widen your perspective to vast possibilities.

Grace awaits.

This workshop includes an additional $25 faculty tuition.
