DELAYED TO 4 MAY: Sky Meadows Yoga(Mod ~7 mi, ~1,200 ft) & Lost Barrel Brewing

Join us for our 4th annual Earth day celebration yoga hike!!

We’ll be doing the full loop at Sky Meadows, which is one of our favorite hikes. You’ll enjoy the varying landscapes – from forests to open fields – and the spectacular views of the Virginia Piedmont.

At one of those spectacular viewpoints, Kim will lead us in some Yoga. We'll move at a moderate pace (around 2.5 mph) and stop for a yoga and lunch break half way so bring a mat/blanket/towel, snacks, food, and enough water.

Afterwards, we’ll be heading out to Lost Barrel Brewing for socializing with drinks and food.

A few notes on the yoga session:

• The yoga session will be held at the lunch point. Kim will lead a 45-minute class and then we will have lunch before continuing on with the hike.
• Please bring a yoga mat, blanket or towel that you are willing to carry while hiking to do yoga on. Otherwise, you will practice in the grass.
• No need to be flexible or have experience with yoga! This will be suitable for beginners & all levels, and will be a nice opportunity to gently stretch, breath and smell the roses :)

For those of you who are curious: Kim has her 200-hour yoga teacher training certification from YogaWorks and currently teaches and practices at Woodley Park Yoga.

As usual, please post your need for a ride/willingness to offer a ride in the comments. Look forward to seeing everybody there!
