Yoga on the Beach
Fridays & Saturdays 8:00am - 9:00am
Summer is slowing down, and there are limited beach classes left, so come and soak up the pristine calm of Clark Lake. There's something about practicing at the water's edge that strips away pretense and connects us directly to our essential nature. The lake doesn't try to be anything other than what it is—and in its presence, neither do we.
