Yoga at the River’s Edge
The North & South Rivers Watershed Association presents
Yoga at the River’s Edge
Our 14th year!
Saturday Mornings • June 19 to September 11, 2010
8:30-10:00 a.m.
Yoga is a delightful way to begin a summer day! It can help reduce stress, increase muscle tone, improve flexibility, and much more. Classes incorporate meditation, gentle stretching, breathing techniques, hatha yoga postures, and guided relaxation, and take place at various scenic outdoor sites along the North and South Rivers. To date, more than 750 people have participated in the Yoga at the River’s Edge program. We hope you’ll try a class with us this summer.
Now in its 14th season, Yoga at the River’s Edge was founded in 1997 by Kezia Bacon-Bernstein, a yoga teacher who wanted to combine her enthusiasm for yoga with her love of the North & South Rivers. Kezia hoped participants would gain increased awareness and appreciation both of their inner selves and of the rivers, marshes, and streams of the North and South Rivers Watershed.
The North and South Rivers Watershed Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation, restoration, maintenance and conservation of the natural resources of the North and South Rivers. Visit www.nsrwa.org for details.
Donation per class:
$10 per person for NSRWA members
$12 non-members
Please bring a yoga mat, blanket, or a towel (large enough to lie down upon). You may also like a blanket to place under your yoga mat to accommodate your outstretched arms and legs. Dress in layers — the temperature at these outdoor sites can change quickly and dramatically as the sun rises or as clouds move in. Other supplies to consider: drinking water, bug repellant, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses.
Classes are cancelled on rainy days.
