Description

Event Itinerary10:00 am: We will all meet at the Delaware Picnic Shelter in Fort Harrison State Park and spend some time mingling and getting to know one another. 10:15 - 11:45 am: Your half-day experience will begin with a 1-hour outdoor yoga class. This will be a calming, centering yoga flow for all levels that will focus on gentle movements and stretches to wake up the body and get your blood flowing. Directly following your yoga class, you will be led through a 20-minute guided meditation to set a positive tone for the rest of the day. Coming out of your yoga and meditation, you will be left feeling calm yet energized. 11:45 am - 12:45 pm: As a group, we'll take a 2-mile moderate hike along the beautiful, wooded Fall Creek Trail. Enjoy scenic views of the trees in their peak fall colors. 12:45 pm - 2:00 pm: Upon returning from your hike, the picnic table will be set and the food will be served. This will be a buffet-style, plant-based brunch featuring all local organic ingredients. We will end our day in fellowship as we nourish our bodies.

A: Since this event is in mid-October, the temperature could range anywhere from the mid-50's to 70 degrees. The day will likely start out on the chillier side, so wear layers. I would suggest bringing a hat or something to cover your ears as well. You can do yoga barefoot or in socks, but bring shoes that you can hike in. Q: What should I bring? A: Please bring your own yoga mat if you have one (we will have a few extra mats if you need to borrow one). Q: How much does it cost to get into Fort Harrison State Park? A: Without a state parks pass, it is $7.00 per vehicle to enter the park. If you are attending this event with a friend, we would encourage you to carpool so you only have to pay one fee to get in! Q: How will parking work once I get into the park? A: There are ample parking spaces right in front of our picnic shelter. Q: How will I know how to find where to go once I get into the park? A: Ask the park attendant for instructions, and grab a free map on your way in. Once you enter, there are plenty of signs pointing you towards the Delaware Shelter. You can also text Taylor or Naomi for help. Here is a PDF map of Fort Harrison State Park: https://www.in.gov/dnr/state-parks/files/ftharrison_trail.pdf Q: Can I come even if I don't have any experience with yoga? A: Absolutely! The yoga class will be a slow, gentle flow catered to all levels. Q: Are there restrooms nearby? A: Yes, there are restrooms directly across from our picnic shelter. Q: Who is hosting this event? A: This event is hosted by Taylor Baker and Naomi Murtagh. We went through our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training together and became good friends in the process! This will be our first time hosting together and we are so excited to bring our vision of this retreat to life. Hosted by: Taylor Baker (Atlas Yoga) & Naomi Murtagh (Yoga by Naomi)
