While many elements of the Vedic sciences like Vedanta have greatly influenced Esalen’s intellectual foundations, yoga is one of the most visible and widely embraced on our campus.
Thousands of years old, these sciences are firmly rooted in a deep, holistic study ranging from knowledge of the self, methods of practice, and life-long exploration. Vedic (ancient knowledge developed in the Indian subcontinent) and Indic (related to India) invite us to go beyond the physical practice of yoga to other levels of existence.
In honor of International Yoga Day, we are spotlighting some of the practitioners and communities who reconnect us to the foundations of this ancient spiritual practice and remind us that yoga is a powerful force for both social change and personal transformation.
An artist and a user researcher in productivity technology, Divya has been practicing yoga since she was a child. Yoga has guided her through the body dysmorphia and “white supremacy-fueled imposter syndrome” that blocked her from teaching her own ancestral practice. She encourages us all to move with strength and grace. You can find her at HiDivya.com.
Yoga helped Susanna love herself. A teacher, inclusivity promoter and yoga culture advocate, she’s been practicing yoga as long as she can remember. Her passion is “to help others bridge the gap between yoga as an exercise and yoga as a lifestyle.” You can find her at susannabarkataki.com.
Melissa Shah grew up learning “unfiltered yoga” in her South Asian community.

“Remembering to be as self compassionate as I can and praying to the divine that we're all a part of.”
–Aaron
“Prayer, reading, meditation, walking.”
–Karen
“Erratically — which is an ongoing stream of practice to find peace.”
–Charles
“Try on a daily basis to be kind to myself and to realize that making mistakes is a part of the human condition. Learning from our mistakes is a journey. But it starts with compassion and caring. First for oneself.”
–Steve
“Physically: aerobic exercise, volleyball, ice hockey, cycling, sailing. Emotionally: unfortunately I have to work to ‘not care’ about people or situations which may end painfully. Along the lines of ‘attachment is the source of suffering’, so best to avoid it or limit its scope. Sad though because it could also be the source of great joy. Is it worth the risk?“
–Rainer
“It's time for my heart to be nurtured on one level yet contained on another. To go easy on me and to allow my feelings to be validated, not judged harshly. On the other hand, to let the heart rule with equanimity and not lead the mind and body around like a master.”
–Suzanne
“I spend time thinking of everything I am grateful for, and I try to develop my ability to express compassion for myself and others without reservation. I take time to do the things I need to do to keep myself healthy and happy. This includes taking experiential workshops, fostering relationships, and participating within groups which have a similar interest to become a more compassionate and fulfilled being.“
–Peter
“Self-forgiveness for my own judgments. And oh yeah, coming to Esalen.”
–David B.
“Hmm, this is a tough one! I guess I take care of my heart through fostering relationships with people I feel connected to. Spending quality time with them (whether we're on the phone, through messages/letters, on Zoom, or in-person). Being there for them, listening to them, sharing what's going on with me, my struggles and my successes... like we do in the Esalen weekly Friends of Esalen Zoom sessions!”
–Lori
“I remind myself in many ways of the fact that " Love is all there is!" LOVE is the prize and this one precious life is the stage we get to learn our lessons. I get out into nature, hike, camp, river kayak, fly fish, garden, I create, I dance (not enough!), and I remain grateful for each day, each breath, each moment. Being in the moment, awake, and remembering the gift of life and my feeling of gratitude for all of creation.”
–Steven
“My physical heart by limiting stress and eating a heart-healthy diet. My emotional heart by staying in love with the world and by knowing that all disappointment and loss will pass.“
–David Z.
Today, September 29, is World Heart Day. Strike up a conversation with your own heart and as you feel comfortable, encourage others to do the same. As part of our own transformations and self-care, we sometimes ask for others to illuminate and enliven our hearts or speak our love language.
What if we could do this for ourselves too, even if just for today… or to start a heart practice, forever?
