Come experience the sacred grounds of Esalen in beautiful Big Sur, California. Rest, restore the body, clear the mind and remember your own true nature.

Experience five days of deep restoration, reflection and intention. Using the profound practice of Yoga Nidra guided meditation, we will begin to restore the body, clear the mind and shift the habitual patterns that may have been attained during the pandemic, and that keep you from being calm, clear and balanced. Yoga Nidra uses the biological process of sleep to systematically release stored physical, emotional and mental tensions. Through the process, you can begin to let go of the old beliefs and habits that keep you locked in your past and fearful of your future. Allow emotions to be experienced knowing that you have the capacity to feel them from a grounded and calm inner presence. Then, take this felt sense of being back into your personal life, family life, work life and love life.

We will move our bodies, clear our minds and create intentions to live not from your unconscious past programming but from a new perspective — the perspective of knowing your true self. All you have to do is show up, lie down and let go; Yoga Nidra will do the work. We will use two different lineages of Yoga Nidra — iRest and Integrative Amrit Method — for our inner exploration. Join us as we deeply rest, restore and rewrite our life.

Please bring blankets, a yoga mat, an eye pillow and anything you need to lie comfortably on the floor for Yoga Nidra. Come prepared for adventure! The tubs are definitely open, being booked in advance by the hour by the Healing Arts team. Massage is also open! The Healing Arts team will be informed of the class schedule and be able to assist you in booking within the appropriate time frame.
