Drawing from wisdom traditions that honor nature and our interrelationship with its presence, the session may include breathing practices, walking meditation, contemplation on the elements, and self-reflection.\nThis class offers an opportunity to deepen your connection with nature and the experience will vary depending on the weather and group size. Space is limited to 15 participants and is intended for ages 16 and older (although youth ages 12 – 15 may participate with active adult supervision).\nAll-Levels Yoga\nOpen to practitioners of all experience levels, this class introduces elements of Classical Ashtanga Yoga (eight-limbed path) as practiced at Mount Madonna, including pranayama (breathing techniques), meditation, and asana (postures). Led by a Mount Madonna teacher, the class offers an accessible and supportive opportunity to explore and deepen your practice.\nOptional Navaratri Observance\nThis Mountain Experience takes place during Navaratri, a nine-day observance that includes daily puja (ceremonial offering) to Ram, one of the incarnations of the Hindu God Vishnu, and readings from the timeless epic, the Ramayana. Guests are invited to attend the 5:00 p.m. reading, “Bridge to Lanka,” followed by evening arati (ritual of light) at the Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple. Those attending may request that a dinner plate be saved for them. To learn more about Navaratri, please visit the program page.\nThe day’s program will also include:\n\nBrunch & dinner in the shared community dining hall\nA guided campus tour to Sunset Ridge (weather permitting)\nPersonal time\nOption to stay for arati after dinner at the Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple\nOption to book a wellness treatment at Kaya Kalpa Wellness Center ( https://mountmadonna.org/visit/wellness/ ) (fees additional, advance reservations recommended)\n\nTo participate, please register as a Mountain Experience day visitor or Personal Retreat ( https://mountmadonna.org/visit/personal-retreats/ ) overnight guest.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”flip-in” animation_easing=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default” delay=”500″][vc_custom_heading text=”Sample Schedule” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” css=””][vc_raw_html css=”” el_class=”doubleLinedTb”]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]\n
