Yoga & Bhakti Intensive: Path of Devotion
For the 3rd year in a row, Janet Stone is coming back to Amsterdam to guide us through her embodied practices in the beautiful van Houten church. Last year the focus was on Bhakti and how to weave this essence of the yoga into both your practice as well as your daily life.
This year Janet is continuing to offer her beautiful blend of Vinyasa Yoga and Bhakti with her Path of Yoga Intensive.
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!

Path of Devotion
Join Janet Stone for a transformative immersion into the power of devotional yoga, integrating the ancient wisdom of yoga into every aspect of your life.
Our weekend together will be grounded in the practice and study of bhakti yoga—cultivating devotion through mantra, prayer, and storytelling. We’ll merge this with an exploration of dharma—the purpose and duty that guides our actions on and off the mat.
In this in-depth weekend, you'll explore dynamic yoga sequencing, learning how to build intentional flows that align with both physical and spiritual themes.
Whether you are a teacher seeking inspiration or a practitioner ready to explore yoga on a deeper level, this immersion offers you tools to refine your practice and align with your truest self.
Join us for two days of community and growth on the charming canals outside of Amsterdam.
Each session begins with a comprehensive practice that includes meditation, pranayama, asana, and chanting. Afternoons are a dive into the heart of living yoga through the power of attention and devotion.
We will explore:
-
Chanting/Storytelling as a path to compassion and wisdom
-
Mantras you can share in your classes
-
Asana as devotion
-
The art of crafting devotion-rich sequences
-
Clarity of intention and how to direct our attention
-
Comprehensive practice including asana, mantra, pranayama, and meditation
-
Partner and group work to support individuals to articulate their intentions into action.

Janet Stone
Janet’s yoga journey began at 17 under Maharaji, her meditation teacher, whose reverence for simplicity and joy live on in her practice and teachings to this day. She shares from the depth of her own sadhana (sustained practice), her studentship in the eight-limbed path, her creative approach to asana, and her reverence for bhakti (devotional, heart-centered yoga, including chanting mantra). With over thirty years in studentship to the practice and twenty years of teaching, Janet offers classes that challenge students to investigate what they think they know, to hold compassion for what they discover within themselves, and to remember presence, the long view, and the radical depth of our interconnectedness.

This beautiful church with wooden floors offers a unique atmosphere and all the comfort you need for this training. During your lunch break, you can have a stroll along the picturesque canals in Weesp. There are different lunch options and stores, or you can enjoy the weather sitting on one of the terraces by the water.
