Join Sianna Sherman and Masood Ali Khan at the famous Esalen Institute - Natural Hot Spring Retreat Center.
Be inspired and transform your yoga practice with the stories of yoga and the power of myth. Awaken the hero’s journey within you as you explore the legends, lore, and archetypes of the yoga tradition. Deepen your love of yoga, elevate your creativity, and infuse your practice with mythic codes that support your purpose in life.
Each day will offer asana, pranayama, mantra, mudra, meditation, and inner transformational exploration to ground myth into your everyday life. Morning sessions will be energizing, followed by reflective afternoon sessions.
Together, we’ll explore the alchemical practices of:
Asana (physical yoga postures)
Pranayama (breathing techniques)
Mantra (healing sound vibration)
Mudra (energy seals created by the hands)
Meditation (expanded states of awareness)
Mythic codes (stories, legends, and lore of yoga)
Hypnotic trance ritual (inductions to deepen your mythic experience)
Sianna and Masood will guide you on this sacred pilgrimage with five thematic journeys:
Monday: Soma Flow — hips, twists, and tantric stories of Shiva & Shakti with mantra meditation.
Tuesday: Leap of Love — backbends and heart-opening practices inspired by the devotion and courage of Hanuman.
Wednesday: Clear the Obstacles — clear the way with Ganesha’s wisdom to remove blocks with breathwork, balance poses, and shadow work.
Thursday: Expand the Evolutionary Edge — explore and embody the avatar forms of yoga through Vishnu and Durga.
Friday: Invoking Grace — a celebration of the goddesses of yoga through vinyasa flow, mantra, music, and community.
“Once upon a time…” is how it all begins. From there, let your imagination soar and awaken your quest in a whole new way!
