Yoga & Meditation in Nature - Summer Class Series at your Yakima Area Arboretum!

"Yoga means 'union,' and when it's practiced outdoors it seems like the union with nature, humanity, and the universe is truly felt." - Hilary Kimblin yoga teacher and owner of Peace Tree Healing, Topanga, CA.

Being outside can intensify the yoga experience; watch the sky, listen to bird song, breath in the fragrance of summer, and be one with the life forces around you. By immersing yourself in nature you will help to calm your mind and body, relieving stress and leaving you energized to start your work week.  Your class starts with a gentle yoga workout followed by 30 minutes of meditation.
