Question 2

Can I bring my phone and/or take pictures?

Accepted Answer

Please plan to leave your cell phones in the car. Exceptions may be made for certain situations, but the intention is to have a technology free experience. We also do not take photos during Mindful Outdoor Experiences. This is a chance to have a tech break.

Question 3

How strenuous is this walk?

This is a short walk, around a 1 1/2 miles total. Much of the trail is flatter but there are  a couple of uphill sections, short stretches are steep. We will be walking slowly and taking breaks. No one will be left behind.

Question 4

Can children attend?

Accepted Answer

This event is intended to be a mindful and semi-quiet walk through the woods. Mature children over the age of 12 are welcome to come, with the ability to follow directions and maintain silence when needed. If you have any questions about this, please contact me at michellegreenfielgyoga@gmail.com

Question 5

Are dogs welcome on these walks?

Accepted Answer

No. We love dogs, but they are not appropriate on this type of experience.  They can be a distraction and there are people who may not be comfortable around or be afraid of dogs.

Question 6

Is this event Rain or Shine?

Accepted Answer

Yes - We will hold this walk even if it is raining, please dress appropriately. But, if it is a dangerous storm with lightening or high winds, we will cancel and reschedule.
