-
at Waterworks Park (235 Penny Lane Burlington, VT 05401)
This event has ended.
This class is designed as a space for members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community to gather and move together in the spirit of queer liberation. Expect to link breath with movement in this gentle class. Beginning with an extended guided meditation, we will allow ourselves the time and space to arrive on our mats slowly knowing that we may all be coming together from various experiences during the day. From there, we will build into some Asana and movement for around 20-30 minutes and finally winding down with an extended Savasana. The goal behind this gentle movement and meditation is to allow ourselves to acknowledge and include rest as part of our collective liberation and social justice practice. The pranayama, meditation and movement will then lead into a space for discussion and community tailored to the needs of each week's group.
This class is an affinity space for folks who identify as Queer or LGBTQIA2S+ & has moved outside for the season!
Some Important Details:
- Preregistration is highly encouraged!
- Location: Waterworks Park is located the waterfront, to the left of the Moran Plant aka "The Frame", and right behind the City’s Water Treatment Facility at 235 Penny Lane. Please see map for detailed instructions on how to find! Seasonal restrooms are located at the Burlington Harbor Marina (near Echo), but there is a porta potty conveniently placed on the pathway to the park. There is no shade cover, so please plan accordingly!
- Parking: Parking is available on Lake Street and the Lake Street extension (in front of the Skatepark) & is free on Sundays! We encourage travel on foot or by bike!
- Bathrooms are located at the Burlington Harbor Marina, just south of the park.
- No-show Policy: We ask that if for any reason you aren't able to make it to an outdoor class that you are registered for, that you cancel your reservation through Union.fit at least 1 hour before the class start time. This gives enough time for someone else to sign up for class and attend.
- If there is bad weather (too cold, too wet, or heat index above 90 degrees), class will take place inside the Pine studio! We will send an email to all registrants at least 60-minutes in advance of the class start time if we choose to move the class inside & will appropriately adjust the name & location of the class. If you're pre-registered for class, just make sure to keep an eye on your email!
- Don't forget the little things! There are limited mats available & no props, thus bring what you'd like for your practice. You may want to bring things like a water bottle, bug spray, or sunscreen.
- More details will be sent to you via email receipt when you pre-register for class. Make sure to check them out! <3
