Registration Requirements: Preregistration required.

Recommended Audience: This program is designed for adults. 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: As the daylight fades and evening reflections dance across the water, you'll move through grounding flows and gentle stretches designed to help you slow down, breathe deeply, and be renewed.  Surrounded by shimmering water, crisp autumn air, and the calm night sky, reconnect with yourself and nature. No yoga experience necessary.

About the Guides: Diane H. Schmidt 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 gentle stretches and mindful movement to help soothe stress.  

Amber Tucker has been volunteering for several years and has used yoga to heal from a medical setback. In 2024, she began her Yoga Teacher Training, inspired to share this path with others. Amber frequently assists Diane with monthly Trail Yoga classes. Nature is her sanctuary, and she looks forward to guiding others in discovering harmony between movement, breath, and the natural world.

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. This is a stationary yoga class on a lawn. Intensity is easy to moderate.
