Join us for the CHBTC’s Yoga + Hike Fundraiser happening at Riverside Woods. Led by Elaine Vallevand, we’ll start with an outdoor yoga session at 9:30 am. Bring your mat! Light refreshments will be provided following our yoga session. During this break, you will have time to put your mat in your vehicle and get ready to hike. By 11 am, we should be on the trails. The large group will be divided into two smaller groups to enable hikers to better enjoy our forest bathing inspired hike, approximately 4 km. The Marsh Marigolds are in bloom! Plan to be finished just after 12:30 pm. 100% of the proceeds will support maintaining and preserving the Bruce Trail. Our kind and giving yoga instructor is donating her time, the refreshments are donated by our generous organizing team, and of course, our hike leaders are donating their time. Thank you for your generosity in being part of this event! There is no separate program for participating children, but all those who aspire to connect with nature in a meaningful way are welcome. While there are no refunds for this fundraiser, you may name a person who will take your spot. Please message the hike leaders to name the person attending in your place. Thanks! Things to consider bringing: a water bottle, a mat, a blanket (if you want a larger area on the grass covered), insect repellent, sunscreen, a hat, hiking shoes/boots, poles, a snack/lunch.
