No Guerrilla Yoga - September 1

With the temperature and humidity high, we won't be taking our #guerillayogadm practice outside this week.

I strongly encourage you to take some time to yourself and cool down with a guided meditation from the app Buddhify... http://buddhify.com/try/

Shattering Silence - August 25

Take a break and join me in a holistic yoga practice at 5:30pm Tuesday, August 25 on Capitol grounds.  Perched on a hill overlooking downtown Des Moines, the Shattering Silence art sculpture is one of the several sights in view from our mat.  The Japanese Bell of Peace and Friendship is also in view.

Free parking is available in the visitor lot of the Iowa Judicial Building (1111 East Court Avenue Des Moines 50319).  In this map, the parking lot is labeled number 26.  Once parked, you'll walk West past the Judicial building and the bell.

We'll be practicing on a cushion of grass under the blue sky beside the Shattering Silence monument pictured below.  I'll be leading a class that connects us to our inner peace.

Suggested donation of $10 may be made by credit card or cash.  Bring your mat, a towel, and an open mind.

Principal Park Ball Sculpture - August 20

I'll be sharing a refreshing practice on the South side of Principal Park 5:30pm Thursday, August 20.  Under the sun, we'll unroll our mats by the ball sculpture so that we may take in views of the Raccoon River and majestic bridges.  My favorite pedestrian bridge the Jackson Avenue Bridge is one of the many site.  Check out the views from the Guerilla Yoga mat in the collage to the right.
 

Free parking is available in the main lot of Principal Park (1 Line Drive Des Moines 50309) nearest the river and 2nd Street marked in the map in yellow.  Meet at the ball sculpture pictured in the collage and noted in red on the map below.  Bring your yoga mat, $10 and an open mind.

Shade of the Hub Spot - August 12

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 Wednesday, August 12 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).

BTW - The Hub has a light dinner, beer and wine menu should you choose to make an evening by the river.

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

Shattering Silence on Capitol Grounds - August 6

It's been TOO long... the weather forecast looks to be about perfect for our next Guerilla Yoga class to be held Thursday, August 6.  We've been here before and it's a favorite for many.

Perched on a hill overlooking downtown Des Moines, the Shattering Silence art sculpture is one of the several sights in view from our mat.  The Japanese Bell of Peace and Friendship is also in view.

Let's celebrate peace and friendship with a Holistic Yoga practice at 5:30pm Thursday, August 6.  Free parking is available in the visitor lot of the Iowa Judicial Building (1111 East Court Avenue Des Moines 50319).  In this map, the parking lot is labeled number 26.  Once parked, you'll walk West past the Judicial building and the bell.

We'll be practicing on a cushion of grass under the blue sky beside the Shattering Silence monument pictured below.  I'll be leading a class that connects us to our inner peace.
