Registration Requirements: Preregistration required.
Recommended Audience: This is a For Adults class offering. Children of any age are more than welcome with the understanding that it is an adult yoga class, so children under 13 years of age may not be able to do everything or stay interested in the class. Adults will have to decide how much management of their children they are interested in doing.
Program Description: Connect to nature in a deeper way through the mindful movement and meditative practices found in yoga. During this on-the-trail experience, participants might draw upon the stability of trees for balancing postures or extend into a turtle pose by the pond. Become part of nature by meditating in a creek, hugging trees, and breathing in the life force around you. All levels are welcome.
About the Guide: Diane Utaski uses her years of experience as a certified Kripalu Yoga instructor to guide others through a gentle yoga experience that brings in elements of nature. As the founder of the first Cincinnati yoga studio, Cincinnati Yoga School and Bookstore, Diane has led many yoga classes and developed her style that focuses on the gentle stretches and mindful movement to help soothe stress.
What to Expect: No prior yoga experience is necessary to enjoy this class. The instructor’s goal is to make yoga accessible for everyone using props and variations, as needed. Trails and distances will vary between classes, and we may encounter steps. Intensity is easy to moderate.
How to Dress: Participants should dress in layered, loose, comfortable, athletic clothing. Hiking shoes or gym shoes are recommended.
What to Bring: Guests should bring water if the day is hot, and a hiking stick if you have one for fun poses. (We will also have plenty of sticks to borrow or find in the forest to use for this purpose as well). A yoga mat is not needed.
Where to Meet: See specific meeting date for varying locations.
