Yoga is an ancient science of individual and group practices that promotes the enlivenment of human consciousness and happiness. Yoga means harmony and unity in mind, body, spirit and nature. River yoga involves time set aside morning, noon and evening to reflect on nature's divine qualities, with postures of relaxation and strengthening, breathing exercises to calm the nervous system and mind, meditation to experience peace and philosophy to understand and motivate. All are welcome. Visit Yoga on the River or call River Dancers at 800-926-5002 or 530-926-3517 for more information.
- Empower Yourself with Crystals The little town of Mt. Shasta is known for metaphysical philosophies and transformations. Mount Shasta is considered one of the Seven Sacred Mountains of the World. Explore the magical powers of crystals and much more in the shops, practitioners and healing centers of the community. See our list of welcoming services above. The downriver community of Happy Camp is also home to rock hounds and gold miners, with shops featuring Happy Camp jade and other local treasures.
- Stroll through Panther Meadows Panther Meadows is a precious high mountain meadow on the slopes of Mount Shasta, and a spiritual destination for many pilgrims. Drive up Everitt Memorial Highway about 1 mile past Bunny Flat. There is parking and an interpretive sign just before you enter the meadow. The delicate plants of a high mountain meadow grow and bloom quickly during the few short weeks of warmth and sunlight at this elevation. Walk carefully through this delicate ecosystem. Paths once crisscrossed this unprotected meadow as visitors strayed from established trails. One step on these high mountain plants can set them back a whole season. Two steps can kill them, so please stay on the paths.
