About this trip

Join Amita and Emily for a Bhakti Yoga immersion unlike any other. Dive deep into the heart of devotion at Mount Madonna Center, home of the Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple, located on 355 acres of redwood forest.


Sankat Mochan Hanuman is the remover of all suffering; our time together is intended to promote deep healing, heart opening, & a silencing of the mind, all in the magical embrace of a mountain community founded by the students of master North Indian yogi Baba Hari Dass.


Retreating together includes temple ceremony, Dharma talks, ritual, mudra, chanting, pranayama practices, as well as flow and restorative yoga practices. Amita and Emily have both been inspired by the devotion, service, and energy of Hanuman over the years— join them for this unique and nurturing experience. Amita served as a Priestess at the Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple for over three years, and brings with her a deep understanding of the teachings of Hanumanji.
