Yoga at the Refuge: Honoring the Trees
Advertisement
Join us for another season of Yoga at Cedar Run! All levels are welcomed. This will be a slow vinyasa/yin class. Some flow movement with some deep yin holds! Intentional movement progressing towards strength and healing to make you feel invigorated and relaxed. Breathe in the healing energy of the natural surroundings, heal yourself as you contribute to healing the animals around you.
Theme: Honoring the Trees, throughout the practice, we encourage you to cultivate a deeper connection with nature and the wisdom of trees. Guided visualizations, nature-inspired affirmations, and moving through tree poses to attune yourself to the rhythms of the natural world, fostering a sense of awe, gratitude, and interconnectedness.
We will be enjoying our morning yoga in the nature setting of the Pine Barrens. Surrounded by the sounds of nature, the smells of the forest and the morning air, it is sure to calm your mind, body and spirit. This session we will be stretching out in our new Wildlife Housing Pavilion. We will have tea at the nature center as well to help get your body and mind calm, replenished and ready for this session!
Please arrive 10 minutes early at our Nature Center to have some tea, use the restroom and check in. If you would like to visit some of our resident wildlife after class we would happy to take you on a little tour or you can self explore. We would love to introduce you to our friends! Class will start at 6:00pm.

Meet your instructor: Monica Walsh – High Vibrations Association
Monica was first introduced to yoga when her mom brought her to her first class that a friend was teaching at a Synagogue in the late 90s. They attended the class because Monica’s relationship to her newly developing teenage body was not a healthy one. This beautiful, simple, practice opened her eyes to a new path with which to approach the human condition both on and off the mat. Ever since, Monica’s desire for yogic knowledge snowballed –seeking out classes at local gyms and yoga studios turned into finding highly qualified mentors resulting in a lifelong regulated practice and a desire for something deeper, a taste for something higher than ourselves. For the last couple of decades Monica has spent thousands of hours on the mat at different vinyasa, hatha and 26/2 focused studios. With a great deal of knowledge under her belt and a thirst to help others, Monica became a Yoga Alliance 200 Hour Certified Teacher in March of 2020 and began teaching yoga at Lavender Koi in Berlin, NJ immediately. Around the same time, Monica was introduced to Bhakti Yoga and began to deepen her knowledge in the ancient Vedic teachings of yoga philosophy. Today, Monica continues to teach at Lavender Koi Yoga as well as Studio 67 in Medford, NJ with the a focus of helping others, not only on a basic physical level in the body, but to also provide students with a tool box for the mind and spirit.
