SUMMARY:Yoga Hike at Walter B. Jacobs Nature Center
DESCRIPTION:With the equinox right around the corner\, what better time to recommit to a yoga practice. During this event\, we will embark on a hike down one of our beautiful trails at Walter B. Jacobs Nature Center and pick a spot away from all the noise and fuss of the modern world. Here we will be guided through a beginner friendly yoga sequence and spend some time working to reconnect with the nature around us. The hike itself will be approximately 1 mile in and and a half mile out. The Yoga sequence itself will be approximately 45 mins long. If you are wanting to practice on a mat\, then it will have to be carried in and out\, or you could take this opportunity to connect and ground with the earth.
