Root to Resonance: A Soulful Yoga & Sound Journey
A SPECIAL YOGA CLASS ACCOMPANIED BY CRYSTAL SINGING BOWLS, 3:30 - 4:45 PM
Join Yoga asana and meditation teacher Pushpa Danielle Barr and sound healer Christina Sommers for a deeply nurturing experience at Mount Madonna. This special class weaves the timeless wisdom of Yoga with the vibrational healing of crystal singing bowls — resulting in a meditative, heart-centered journey into presence.
Through slow, grounded movement and intentional breath, you’ll unwind layers of tension and reconnect with the quiet intelligence of the body. Rooted in the eight limbs of Yoga and guided by mindfulness, each posture becomes a portal to clarity, spaciousness, and remembrance.
As the body softens and the heart opens, Christina’s immersive soundscape offers a vibrational cleansing — crystalline tones that attune the subtle body and invite deeper release.
Together, breath and sound become a bridge back to soul — to the longing we carry, the purpose we sometimes forget, and the inner compass always guiding us home.
This is more than a class: it’s a reset, a remembering, and a return to what matters most.
All are welcome, just as you are. Come feel held, opened, and aligned with the rhythm of your becoming.
The day’s program will also include:
- Brunch & dinner in the shared community dining hall
- A guided campus tour to Sunset Ridge (weather permitting)
- Personal time
- Option to stay for arati (ritual of light) after dinner at the Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple
- Option to book a wellness treatment at Kaya Kalpa Wellness Center (fees additional, advance reservations recommended)
To participate in this special class, please register as a Mountain Experience day visitor or Personal Retreat overnight guest.
