Come for yoga and stay for the sunset! In this all levels class, we will move through a playful sequence of asanas (poses), linking breath to movement for a moving meditation as we release tension and cultivate strength, flexibility, and spaciousness in body and mind. All classes are appropriate for beginner and experienced yoga students alike.
The Portage Lakefront and Riverwalk Beach is within easy access to the National Park’s large public parking lot. All visitors to the National Park need to purchase entry to the Park (see Fees & Passes - Indiana Dunes National Park (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov) for details and to pay your entrance fee). We will practice inside in the pavilion classroom overlooking Lake Michigan. At the end of class, linger with new and old friends for a pause in community with fellow yogis.
Pre-registration is requested by 5:30 p.m. the day of class.
