Free Summer Outdoor Yoga Series 2023

Posted on by

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced yogi, outdoor yoga is a fantastic way to enjoy nature while focusing on your inner and outer self. And the challenge of practicing on uneven surfaces helps improve your balance and stability. Let’s get moving!

The patio construction rules out the possibility of outdoor yoga at the Center this summer. We changed the location to McKee Farms Park, on the lawn near the Kids’ Crossing playground.

The six-week series runs 9:00-10:00 each Tuesday from May 23 through June 27. (The first class will be from 9:00-10:15 to allow time for explaining poses.)

All are welcome for this free series. Bring your own mat. If the day is chilly, include a sweatshirt of throw for savasana.

Outdoor yoga 2023

Outdoor Yoga is Back!

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced yogi, outdoor yoga is a fantastic way to enjoy nature while focusing on your inner and outer self. And the challenge of practicing on uneven surfaces helps improve your balance and stability.

Since this summer’s planned patio construction outside the Fitchburg Community / Senior Center preempts using that space for yoga, we must find an alternative location. While that issue is yet to be resolved, mark your calendar for the first class on Tuesday, May 23. The time will be either 9:00 or 9:15, with the location to be determined. Stay tuned for updates.

Join the walking group this Thursday. Here is Elizabeth’s message:
As many of you were unable to join us for our last walk, I thought we could go to the same place again.
It was a beautiful walk and we saw pelicans and eagles in the lake. Bring your binoculars if you wish.
DATE: Thursday, April 27
TIME: 10:00 AM
PLACE: Lussier Family Heritage Center, 3101 Lake Farms Road
We will meet in the parking lot across the road from the Lussier Family Heritage Center (Lower Yahara River parking lot) and follow the bike path from there.
Please let me know if you are able to join the group so we don’t leave anyone behind.
As always if you have any questions feel free to give me a call (608-220-3190) or email me. Hope to see you Thursday!

Biking

The bike outings for this week and next have been cancelled due to the weather. Here is Sheree Dandurand’s message:

Well it looks like weather is going to win out again. We are canceling tomorrow’s ride using the e-bikes.
You may want to go on your own sometime this week to check them out while they are still free to use. There is still time for you to try them on your own.
We are also going to cancel the ride set for May 2. It looks like the cold is still going to be with us. We will send out an email with a new date once it warms up a bit.
Hopefully the weather will start cooperating with us soon.
