About this Event
Find Your Roots
Spots are limited, please book your spot early. Suggested donation: $1 to $25.
Imagine standing barefoot on the earth, surrounded by towering trees. Inhale and imagine roots extending from the feet and connecting with the roots of the trees, creating a web of interconnectedness. Freedom, connection, support, community, and safety all dance together in harmony. On the exhale, feel the body relax and become this moment. Grow stronger and deeper with each breath, drawing nourishment from and giving nourishment to the natural world.
The interconnectedness and spiritual grounding of Earth Flow Yoga supports personal growth and relationships in yoga and in life beyond it. Take a deep breath and when you're ready, slowly open your eyes and feel your roots.
All Earth Flow experiences are donation-based. A donation of at least $1 is required to register your spot. Your support helps others in need.

This is an all levels class. If you're an experienced yogi, please tell Ben so he can give you additional guidance on alignment and depth-of-pose.

- Wear: form fitting yoga attire
- Duration: 45-60 minutes
Everyone is welcome to attend Level 2. The Level 2 class is intended for those who are already familiar with the Earth Flow sequence. We meet Wednesdays and Saturdays in the rose garden at Idlewild Park. The rose garden is a beautiful setting where we interleave our mats among the foliage and scenery.
The class pace is faster with greater emphasis on flow and technique. If you have attended a few Level 1 classes and feel ready to move faster, try this class.
