Meet your hosts
Lindsey Best & Monica Calero
Monica and Lindsey met through their shared love of yoga and mindful living, collaborating on experiences that blend movement, music, and presence. Together, they create offerings that invite connection, reflection, and self-discovery.
Monica Calero is a dedicated yogi and experienced instructor who began her yoga journey during her graduate studies in 2000. What started as healing from running injuries became a lifelong practice of balance and serenity. With over a decade of teaching experience, Monica blends her scientific background with creative sequencing, mindful breathwork, and the immersive use of silent headphones to craft classes that are both grounding and transformative.
Lindsey Best, RYT 200, CRS, and Certified Sound Healing Practitioner, is the owner of Mindful Movements and Sound LLC. She first discovered yoga while studying psychology at Clarion University, and it soon evolved into her way of life. Through yoga, sound, and community, Lindsay helps others find balance, mindfulness, and holistic well-being.
Together, Monica and Lindsey bring a unique synergy of movement and sound to every gathering—creating space to slow down, tune in, and rediscover the peace that lives within.
Wellness with Nature
Resting on 150 acres, River Mountain is bordered by Sweet Root Creek, Warrior Ridge and Tussey Mountain. River Mountain's stunning spaces are designed for reflection, mindfulness, and good vibrations on your self-care journey. Creekside yoga platforms, a restored barn turned wellness space, and the calm of nature make this the ideal destination for peace and wellness.
Located just a few hours from D.C., Baltimore, and Pittsburgh, in the mountains of Pennsylvania, River Mountain is remote yet easy to access.

History
Warrior Path
Running parallel to River Mountain's eastern ridge is Warriors Path, the great Iroquois Indian highway from Six Nations country, New York, to the Catawba country in the Carolinas. The historic path along Sweet Root Creek was one of the longest and most heavily traveled land routes in eastern North America, connecting Indigenous peoples over hundreds of miles.
The Underground Railroad
Black Valley was an active route along the Underground Railroad. Local histories principally credit four, free black residents with leading the aid network in this area: Rev. John Fidler, Elias Rouse, Joseph Crawley, and James Graham. Just to the south of the River Mountain property are 13 unmarked graves of enslaved people who died traveling the route to freedom.
