Join seasoned yoga teacher and Mindful Outdoor Guide, Julie Kaus, for a nature connection experience that begins at the yoga studio and then moves down to the C&O Towpath along the Potomac River.
We will meet at the Roots & River Yoga studio, walk together to a nearby grassy knoll for some breathing and centering exercises with gentle standing yoga movement. From there, Julie will guide the group in a walking meditation down to the C&O Towpath, along the river’s edge. Once at the Potomac River, Julie will lead a mediation and create space for personal time in mindful witness with the sensory sights and sounds of the earth, trees, birds, river and more. We will end the afternoon with a tea ceremony and sharing circle along the water’s edge.
In our time together, we will be moving slowly and comfortably with the simple intention of letting nature be our guide to:
Be present in our awareness
Remember our connection with the living earth
Restore balance between modern daily living with the pace of nature
Use nature to ground, regulate & self soothe
No previous experience with yoga or meditation is needed.
All are welcome - ages 13 and older (if young people attend between 13-16 years, they must be accompanied by an adult).
Cost: $30
