Yoga Intensive with Janet Stone

Janet Stone is coming back to Amsterdam! After the beautiful weekend we offered with Janet lat year, we are excited to announce new dates for 2024. We can’t wait to gather again with the beautiful community of yogis that is drawn to Janet’s teachings.

Janet is known for her strong, Vinyasa flows, combined with elements of the practice that are often lost when time pressure shortens our practice: Sankalpa, storytelling, mantra, mudra, and pranayama. Diving into a weekend that offers all the elements of the practice will leave you feeling grounded, light, present, open-minded, embodied, and inspired. We are definitely ready for it!

The Intensive: Yoga Unleashed – Embodying Bhakti in Vinyasa Yoga Practice

In this weekend workshop, we’ll explore yoga as a practice of devotion. Bhakti yoga is the practice of devotion. We can infuse every aspect of our practice with this sense of devotion—from mantra to asana, mudra, meditation to pranayama. Beyond this, devotion can infuse all of the moments of our lives. In this way, our practice helps us clarify our intentions, focus our attention, and infuse our lives with a sense of purpose and compassion.

Each session begins with a comprehensive practice that includes meditation, pranayama, asana, and chanting. Afternoons are a dive into the heart of what it means to embody yoga. With practice as our starting point, we’ll access the body’s innate intelligence. In community, we’ll put devotion into practice to live our values and focus our attention in a world of chaos.

This intensive is open to yoga practitioners and teachers alike.
