Telluride Yoga Festival

Is it time to let go of something? There's nothing like a river ritual to cleanse the heart and purify the soul when it's time to release what's no longer serving us. Join Melanie in this awe-inspiring walk along the San Miguel River as we stop along the way to hear ancient stories from some of the most famous River Goddesses in Hindu Mythology. Our walk will include chanting, meditation, and a letting-go ritual that will leave you feeling light, refreshed, and ready to begin anew.

The San Miguel River Trail is an easy, flat trail. Melanie will guide the way and pause at several strategic places (including a waterfall) to tell the stories of the River Goddesses, chant, pray, and offer flower petals as a sacred ritual.
