AKASF is collaborating with the wonderful Kara Dewhurst to bring you some summer outdoor yoga! This yoga session will involve a quick discussion followed by a physical practice. In addition to the yoga, for those who wish to enjoy the outdoors and shared company after the scheduled session, we invite you to join us for a casual picnic. Looking forward to hopefully seeing you there and getting our wellness on!
EVENT SCHEDULE
- Yoga will start promptly at 11 AM, so please allow yourself time for parking and set up.
- We will have a discussion about yoga from 11 AM to approximately 11:30 AM followed by a physical practice from 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM.
- Following the lesson, we will gather for a picnic. Anyone not joining for yoga is welcome to join the picnic at 12:30 PM.

- Pets and kids are welcome. The yoga course is not suitable for young children, but there is a playground if your children can be supervised while you partake in yoga.
