Jeff Pilson
Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum artist, Jeff Pilson, is a seasoned musician and accomplished producer, best known as the bass player, songwriter and background vocalist for the legendary band, Dokken. He’s also had stints with the bands Dio, MSG and his own band, War and Peace. Since 2004, Pilson has been with the classic rock band, Foreigner, where he serves as bassist, musical director, and producer on many of their musical releases over the last two decades.
As a musician, producer, and mentor, Jeff Pilson continues to leave an enduring impact on the music industry. His passion for pushing artistic boundaries and creating timeless music solidifies his status as a respected figure in the global music community. Whether holding down the low end on stage or shaping the sonic landscapes behind the scenes, Jeff Pilson remains an influential and enduring presence in the world of music.
What people likely DON’T know about Jeff Pilson is his passion and commitment to the study and practice of yoga off the stage.
Pilson’s yoga journey began in 1978 following a debilitating back injury. Soon after, he was studying hatha yoga and meditation with yoga legend Richard Hittleman, who is best known for his PBS television series Yoga for Health in the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s. Through his TV series, books and videos, Hittleman is widely credited for bringing the practice of yoga to more people in the West than anyone. Since Hittleman’s passing in 1991, Pilson has studied extensively with Yogi Michaeline Kiss in both New York and San Francisco.
Pilson credits yoga postures and meditation as the vital tools to keep him “sane and healthy” in a vigorous road life that often entails traveling 10 months of the year. His teaching of yoga meditation and mild postures is designed to introduce students to several time tested ancient meditation techniques and then allow them to naturally adapt to whichever one or ones best suits them.
There is no such thing as too old to start a successful yoga practice, and meditation often proves to be a life changing experience that has no equal.
On this retreat, Jeff Pilson will lead us through Meditation classes and also perform some acoustic songs for us during our down time by the pool or bonfire!
“The Self Realized state is the natural state. All one need do is remove the obstruction of the mind.” –Ramana Maharshi/ Guru to Richard Hittleman
