SUMMARY:Yoga at the Overlook
DESCRIPTION:People practicing yoga outdoors. Yoga Retreat In The Mountains” by WeTravel\, CC BY 2.0\n\n\n\nJoin us for an evening of yoga at the Piedmont Memorial Overlook! PEC’s Lindsey Loving will lead a 30- to 40-minute beginner-friendly yoga practice for attendees – all levels are welcome. Yoga is about quieting the mind in order to connect with our true selves and the universe. What better place to do that than the Piedmont Memorial Overlook at sunset\, with its panoramic views and serene natural surroundings? In this practice\, we will incorporate gentle movement\, standing poses and stretches\, helping to promote strength and flexibility in the body and the mind. After the practice\, there will be time to take in the beautiful views and take photos.  \n\n\n\nAbout your instructor: Lindsey Loving is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with nearly 300 hours of training and thousands of hours of practice. She received her yoga teaching certification in 2023 through the Yoga Alliance and specializes in Vinyasa yoga\, which emphasizes connecting breath with movement in a “flow” from one pose (or asana) to another. Lindsey is also a full-time member of the PEC staff and enjoys combining her two passions for yoga and spending time in nature. \n\n\n\nWhat to bring: For this practice\, you will need to bring your own yoga mat (or a thick blanket or towel that is large enough to practice on) – mats will not be provided. If you have yoga props you use at home\, such as yoga blocks\, a strap\, etc.\, you are encouraged to bring them with you. As we will be practicing outside\, you may also want to bring a small towel or blanket to place under your knees for extra support. Please wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely and wear comfortable shoes.* Please check the weather forecast and come prepared as you normally would for spending time outdoors by bringing sunscreen\, bug spray\, a water bottle\, a jacket or warm layer\, and a hat and/or sunglasses as needed. \n\n\n\n* If you elect to do this practice barefoot\, we ask that you please wear shoes at all other times that you are not on your mat\, such as while walking around the overlook. \n\n\n\nThis event is an adults only class and is not suitable for pets. \n\n\n\nSpace is limited! In the event of inclement weather\, we will reschedule to the rain date.  \n\n\n\n***Registration coming soon!***
