Shattering Silence on Capitol Grounds - May 12

It's time to come out of hibernation and take our practice outside.  Perched on a hill overlooking downtown Des Moines, the Shattering Silence art sculpture is one of the several eye catching elements of our next Guerilla Yoga location.  Also in view, the Japanese Bell of Peace and Friendship.

Let's celebrate peace and friendship at 5:30pm Tuesday, May 12.  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 past the bell.

We'll be practicing on a bed of grass under the warm sun beside the Shattering Silence monument pictured below.  I'll be leading a class that restores balance and cultivates peace.

Payment of $10 may be made by credit card or cash.  Bring your mat and an open mind.  Guerilla Yoga... unconventionally fun.

Start Fresh

With our next breath we can start fresh. There's no need to wait for a new day or chapter in your life. Inhale... take in the beauty of this moment. Exhale... release what is weighing you down. Sometimes it's not easy to do in a breath; however, our yoga provides many breaths of opportunity to practice taking in the beauty and releasing what no longer serves.

I encourage you to cleanse yourself of your mistakes and limiting beliefs. There's no need to dwell in the past or cause more pain with words and actions. Forgive and make the best choice right now for you and those near you.

I find with a regular holistic yoga practice I am a better person, friend and lover. Yoga empowers me to reconnect with the present moment. I hope to share these and the many other gifts at a class this summer.

You know I am passionate about helping others. With this energy, I teach a holistic yoga class at a new location downtown Des Moines every week (I call it Guerilla Yoga DM) and volunteer to teach several free outdoor yoga classes. I would love to share the serenity of yoga outside with you this summer.

World Food Prize Garden - September 11

Enjoy the fall evening with Guerilla Yoga in the sun at the World Food Prize Hall of Lauereates Garden (100 Locust Street, Des Moines) on Thursday, September 11 at 5:30pm.  You'll park at metered spots on the street or bridge (marked in yellow on map below) and then walk through a path that curves around the purple, white, yellow, and orange blooms.  The downtown buildings add to the background for our paved practice area which lies to the West of the architectural beauty that has become the World Food Prize Hall of Lauereates.

Call or text Lynn Marie (515-979-6474) with any questions.

August 27

Due to the strong potential for thunderstorms this afternoon, we will not be having Guerilla Yoga this evening.  May your day be filled with wonder and eyes open to the beauty that surrounds.

Des Moines River - Wednesday, August 20

This week and next we'll be doing Guerilla Yoga on Wednesday.  Join me August 20 on the sidewalk by the Des Moines River.  This shaded spot will invite your eyes to wonder down the river and ponder the beauty of a bridge.

We'll meet at the bench on the corner of Water Street and Martin Luther King, Jr. Parkway and at 5:30 continue our walk together to our yoga spot.  You can Google (100 Market Street Des Moines, Iowa 50309) to view the image below.  Yellow indicates on street metered parking.  The red circle is where we'll meet.  I recommend you bring a towel for underneath your yoga mat.

As always call or text me with any questions at 515-979-6474.

Capitol Grounds South of Holocaust Memorial - August 14

Another beautiful home awaits our practice.  This Thursday, August 14 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, 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.
