The Esalen Institute, in Big Sur, California has a very special place in my heart and has been the site of a great maturing process for myself. I am so grateful for the conscious practices of healing which Esalen is known for. The quality of Prana and Lifeforce in the environment is mindblowing and amazing and anyone who has been there knows what I am referring to. 

About Retreats at the Esalen Institute

This is one of my favorite places to have a yoga retreat. The combination of the hot mineral springs, beautiful panoramas and vistas, yoga and great food makes for an incredible retreat experience. There is a very special energy at Esalen and in Big Sur generally. I experience this as an energy of transformation, a Shiva-Pluto-Kali force, so to speak. Esalen has always been known for its transformative energy in terms of the mineral springs and programming, and is an incredible backdrop for a yoga retreat.
