Over one week, we’ll commit (or re-commit) to a pre-dawn practice including meditation, pranayama, asana, mantra, and dharma talks.
This is an opportunity to begin again, to clarify intention, to hone our focus for the year and to allow discipline to disrupt distractions and live our yoga practice through our actions. As we clarify our intentions, we remember our soul’s deepest longing, and that can guide our actions, choices and interactions through the year. Our daily practice becomes a reminder of this deepest intention.
This week-long commitment to practice is an annual tradition for the community to come together to commit to collective daily practice.
It is a simple, but profound practice to gather for the early mornings over a full week. We gather early in the year to set the intention to make practice a central part of our daily lives throughout the year.
Our mornings will include
Meditation—committing to a daily practice of stillness and focused attention
Pranayama—techniques to work with our life force
Morning form—awakening the body, lubricating the joints
Chanting—focusing attention toward intention
Dinacharya—daily rituals to cleanse and clarify the senses
Building discipline to support well being
How to carve out time (even a little) for daily practice
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.
