These Yoga Walks take place at Elena Gallegos Park on the handicap-accessible path that leads back to the beautiful Cottonwood Springs and Pond Observatory. This is a short walk on a paved path, walking and pausing occasionally to practice yoga poses and deep breathing. We will practice in silence (except for the teacher's instructions) while embracing the beauty of nature. A guided meditation at the pond observatory will conclude our approximately one hour practice. Participants are then free to continue on to the many available trails or walk back to the parking area at their own pace. Please wear flat, sturdy and comfortable shoes; dress in layers, and bring sun protection and water. Please note: The park has a $2 entrance fee on the weekend.
