Retreat packages range from one to five days, with basic vegetarian food and lodging included. One visitor surnamed Liu commented that the rooms were alright, though chilly at night. Also, running water at the center had become scarce that retreat, which sadly cost her her morning shower.

When water’s running, shower times can usually be squeezed in throughout the day as the daily schedule is refreshingly relaxed. It loosely revolves around two yoga sessions, meals and one variable activity (which could be anything from drumming, to calligraphy, to hiking the mountain.).

Mountainyoga is generally staffed by volunteers and even the teachers generally do so unrecompensed. It certainly doesn't mean that the teachers aren't adept, but it doesn't always ensure that they're the most skilled either.

Ao Dingping teaches concise classes of yoga basics. Just by rising up onto the tips of his toes, he wows students with postures of stunning perfection.
