Let’s reconnect to ourselves and our forest neighbors with an afternoon of yoga and hiking at Northfield Mountain. We’ll shift our focus between our inner and outer landscapes to deepen our presence and attune to nature as it manifests in our own bodies and the world around us.

The hiking will be mostly silent and moderately paced (~3.5 miles with some steep sections), alternating with a gentle yoga practice that integrates mindful movement, conscious breathing, and meditation. Beginners welcome. Ages 13+. Bring water, dress in layers, and feel free to use hiking poles, or let us know if you need to borrow some.

Libby Volckening, E-RYT 500, YACEP, teaches a breath-centered style of Hatha yoga that focuses on developing healthier movement patterns and reintegrating body, mind, and spirit. She draws inspiration for her yoga teaching and practice from many sources, including Patty Townsend, Gary Kraftsow, Tom Myers, and Bonnie Bainbridge-Cohen.
