Steamboat Springs, CO - Slow down and hone in on both your body and the natural environment with outdoor yoga. Yampa River Botanic Park, located off Lincoln Avenue next to the Emerald Park soccer fields, is the perfect place to immerse yourself in the outdoors. On the expansive lawn adjacent to the pond, the botanic park hosts group yoga, providing an immersive experience with nature that becomes as much internal as it is external.
Yoga sessions begin Saturday, May 25, and end Saturday, Aug. 31, every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 9 a.m. Sessions typically last an hour and participants are asked to bring a yoga mat and water bottle. Remember, mornings are often brisk and the grass can be dewy; layers are encouraged. Although yoga is free, a $10 donation is suggested for yoga instructors and maintenance staff. Sessions are open to the public (any skill level is welcome), with an average number of 75 people in attendance. Instructors tend to focus on breathing and whole-body experiences: it’s a deliberate action dedicated to taking in the rhythm of your own body’s functions while also tuning in to the surroundings of a gorgeous summer morning.
