NEPA Yoga Fest

Opening Meditation: “May All Beings Be Happy”with Mara Morell of Mrida Seva Yoga
As the sun stretches over Montage Mountain Waterpark and the festival begins to hum, Mara Morell will guide us into our first shared breath of the weekend.
“May All Beings Be Happy” is a heart-centered opening meditation rooted in loving-kindness, or metta, an ancient practice that gently widens the circle of compassion from self… to community… to the entire world.
Through guided meditation, mantra, and intentional silence, Mara will lead us in:
• Softening into presence
• Cultivating compassion for ourselves
• Extending blessings outward to all beings
• Setting a unified intention for the weekend ahead
This is not just a meditation.
It is the energetic cornerstone of the festival.
Together, hundreds of voices will anchor one simple yet profound prayer:
May all beings be happy.
May all beings be peaceful.
May all beings live with ease.
Whether you are brand new to meditation or deeply rooted in your practice, this opening gathering invites you to arrive fully, open your heart, and remember that yoga begins in how we hold the world.
Come early. Bring your mat. Bring your quiet courage.
We begin as one. 🕊️✨
