Feeling stressed or overwhelmed? Studies show that time spent in the woods can relieve stress and bring on positive emotions. By consciously engaging your senses through mindful hiking you can experience even greater benefit from time in the woods.

 

Join Ann Rose on Saturdays at 9:30 a.m. for gentle standing and seated asana (we will use the benches there, no mat needed), then a guided mindful meditative hike where we will engage with our senses in the woods ending with a short meditation. We might find some wildflowers along the way!
