Class Description
Description
What you'll learn in this nature tours class:
Rejuvenate yourself with forest yoga walks by stepping outside and away from electronics to connect with nature, quiet the mind, and reduce stress. Walks will begin with a brief ecological overview of the area, continue with invitations to deepen connection to nature and self, then conclude with a tea ceremony of locally harvested plants. We'll focus on energy exchange with the natural world, discover our place within it, and foster an appreciation for all that nature provides.
During each walk we will pause to tune the body with yoga postures. The walks will be gentle and suitable for all levels. These walks are scheduled to follow the seasonal blooming of native plants.
To fully enjoy your forest yoga walk, please come prepared with:
July 29 - Spears Woods, Palos Hills (Prairie Blazing Star)
August 19 - Illinois Beach State Park, Zion (Rough Blazing Star)
September 16 - Wolf Road Prairie, Westchester (Saw Tooth Sunflower)
October 14 - Waterfall Glen, Darien (Autumn leaves)
