Guerilla Yoga Cancelled Tonight

Rain rain go away... looks like we need to cancel yoga tonight.  I'll let you know if I can pull a class time together for later this week... comment on this post if you'd like to see a class on Wednesday... perhaps I can move some things around....

Shade of the Hub Spot - July 28

Views from the Mat

The views to the right share only a fraction of  the beauty of our next Guerilla Yoga location.  With the Court Avenue Bridge and Des Moines River in sight, I'm sure your eyes will have plenty to feast on as your guide your body through the breath initiated movement of yoga.

We'll begin practice in the shade at 5:30pm Tuesday, July 28 downtown Des Moines just East of the Principal Riverwalk Hub Spot.  The picture below is shown from a Google map search for 215 Water St, Des Moines, Iowa 50314 where I've marked parking in yellow, pathway in green and yoga spot in red.

On street metered parking (yellow) is available on Water Street and the Court Avenue bridge.  You'll walk to the Riverwalk Hub Spot  and travel down the stairs or ramp (shown in the map in green) to our yoga spot (red).  Please note we will not be practicing at The Hub but rather River level or "below" the Hub.  Bring your mat, a towel, and your donation (suggested $10).

There's a chance of rain in the forecast.  I'll be sure to post to my Illuminate Yoga Facebook page if I cancel class.

Yellow = Parking;   Green = Path;   Red = Yoga Spot

Capitol Grounds South of Holocaust Memorial - July 21

Let's try this spot again... this time without the rain.  Tuesday, July 21 we'll be meeting for Guerilla Yoga at 5:30pm on the South side of the Holocaust Memorial on the Iowa Capitol Grounds.  With our mats laid on pavement or on the cushion of grass, our eyes will find views of the golden top Capitol building as well as flowers, memorials and downtown skyscape.  In this parking map, you will find our location for yoga to be North of the West Capitol Terrace.

Bring your yoga mat and a bath towel to be used as a prop.  Call or text Lynn Marie if you have any questions... 515-979-6474.

Rainy Day - No Yoga July 15

The pitter patter of rain invites us to slow down and take time to relax.  We will not be having yoga this evening.  I'm concerned Warrior II on a wet mat could lead to bruised bottoms.  ;)

I do encourage you to accept nature's invitation and indulge in a passion of yours indoors or on a deck.  Perhaps reading, cooking or talking to a friend may bring you light to your day.  Another idea I highly recommend is downloading the iOS and Android app Buddhify.  This high quality app has several options for you to be led on a guided relaxation journey.

Whatever your choice... I wish you well this evening and always.

Capitol Grounds South of Holocaust Memorial - July 15

Due to the dip in temperature and potential for clouds, Wednesday looks to be our best day this week for our Holistic Yoga practice.  This week's location provides an option under the clouds or under the trees.  The sun will pick our final spot.

This Wednesday, July 13 we'll be meeting for Guerilla Yoga at 5:30pm on the South side of the Holocaust Memorial on the Iowa Capitol Grounds.  With our mats laid on pavement or on the cushion of grass, our eyes will find views of the golden top Capitol building as well as flowers, memorials and downtown skyscape.  In this parking map, you will find our location for yoga to be North of the West Capitol Terrace.

Bring your yoga mat and a bath towel to be used as a prop.  Call or text Lynn Marie if you have any questions... 515-979-6474.

No Guerrilla Yoga - July 7

There will be no yoga tonight. I look forward to sharing another beautiful spot with you next week.
