Field trip with Laurie Burnaby and Marion Schlinger
Join Laurie and Marion for a gentle three-mile walk along a paved road in a quiet, mostly wooded area near Santa Ynez. 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 attention and appreciation of the various 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.
Laurie Burnaby has been a yoga teacher and yoga therapist for many years. While recovering from a hip replacement in 2010, she developed the Mindful Yoga Walk as a means of recovery and healing. 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.
Marion Schlinger is a naturalist/entomologist and loves being out in nature enjoying the plants, birds, and critters, including insects, that she finds either in her garden or on long walks with her labrador, Max.
