“A journey is best measured in friends, not in miles.” – Tim Cahill

Details: 5 miles round trip, 1,500 feet gain.

Mountain Meadow Yoga: Join us for a bug-free hiking getaway at this beautiful meadow location on Mount Rainier’s Palisades Lakes, just 2 hours from Seattle. This is a beautiful time of year, and the bugs will still be asleep! We will invite some silence and walking meditations, do some gentle yoga in a gorgeous meadow, eat lunch in the forest, and get some nice fresh air.

Forest Bathing: We will play with the idea of “Forest Bathing”, This healing art in Japan is called Shinrin-yoku Forest Therapy, the medicine of simply being in the forest. Shinrin-yoku is a term that means “taking in the forest atmosphere” or “forest bathing.” It was developed in Japan during the 1980s and has become a cornerstone of preventive health care and healing in Japanese medicine.

Trail: This trail is in great shape, but does have some serious ups and downs, so you must be in decent shape.

What to Bring: Small backpack, a lunch, layers of clothes (can get cool this time of year), towel or pad to sit on.

How to Get there: We will discuss car pooling.

I feel very passionate about Vibrational Medicine and love working with others in this way & helping others to connect with their purpose and passion in life. Vibrational Energy Medicine brings the physical, emotional, mental, & spiritual bodies back into balance, which opens the way for rebuilding the healing systems of the body.”

 

Roy Holman

 

 

Roy Holman: I am a 500 hour Certified Yoga teacher, in the Viniyoga tradition. I teach a safe, gentle, body-friendly, grounded, breath-connected, meditative, flowing traditional hatha yoga – a meditation in motion really. I like to move slow, give time to breathe deeply and savor the poses. I also teach breath-work (pranayama) and meditation, and also try to incorporate the many aspects of emotional healing and balancing I have learned. The meditation is a mindfulness style, with focus on breath awareness, heart opening, body senses, emotional clearing, and connection on all levels (body, breath, emotions, Earth, Spirit).
