A Nature/Yoga Walk in the Park
Thursday, Sept. 26, 2024

Field trip with Laurie Burnaby and Marion Schlinger

Join Laurie and Marion for a gentle walk along paved or dirt paths in a quiet, park-like area near Buellton. Laurie will incorporate yoga into our walk at strategic stops along the way to enhance the physical and mental experience of nature. Marion will focus your appreciation and attention on the various plants, scents, sounds, and textures we find along the way. The hope is that this yoga/nature walk will enhance the physical and mental experience of being in a natural environment. You will be refreshed and perhaps find some yoga poses to bring into your everyday life. Please wear comfortable clothing and walking shoes (no sandals) and bring water and sunscreen. A hat is optional.

Her main interest is in the therapeutic aspects of yoga and her strength is an ability to accommodate each person where they are and offer practices that will meet their needs.
