Yoga Hikes
Take your yoga practice one step further – take it outdoors!
Find your inner peace during this invigorating retreat. Our instructors will guide you on a moderate hike to a scenic river, mountain, lake, or the puget sound for an extended yoga practice.
Here you’ll be able to connect further with your body, mind and spirit as you experience yoga in nature. And healthy snacks will be provided too!
Please bring your yoga mat.
Hike is moderate, no more than 5 miles round trip over gentle terrain. Please come prepared for variable weather, we will continue with our day despite rain, heat or cooler temperatures. A small backpack works great to hold your water, trail snacks, lunch, yoga mat and extra clothing. Hiking shoes or boots are recommended. More information will be made available upon request and registration.
Participants ages 14-17 are allowed with parental consent.
