Rise with the sun throughout September ─ ⋆⋅☼⋅⋆ ─
This 60-minute outdoor yoga practice will follow the rising of the sun, shifting start times to meet the sun as it crosses the horizon. We will invite spaciousness, presence, and a deeper connection with the natural world. Rooted barefoot on the Earth, we greet the rising sun over Lake Superior. The practice is a slow and intentional flow with moments to pause and settle into postures, guided by breath and mindful awareness—an energizing and grounding way to begin the day.
Class is guided by Kristy Marie Chisti and Julie Deters on rotation throughout September.
Curiosity and compassionate awareness are encouraged, honoring your wisdom and unique needs.
Listen, notice, and discover what is true in each moment, allowing your practice to unfold with presence and self-compassion.
Open to all levels, from those new to yoga to experienced practitioners.
Come breathe, move, and awaken with the rising sun.
Mark your calendar!
Start times vary throughout the month of September as the sunrise gradually shifts later.
