Yoga In The Woods

Join me for Yoga In The Woods: a 60-75ish minute Mindful Meeting at Rancocas Nature Center, located in Westhampton, NJ.  (not to be confused with Rancocas State Park entrance, RNC has a separate entrance can be found on Google Maps when you enter address given)

The intention behind this experience is to remind people to move their bodies with love, get into nature, breathe deep, look around, appreciate the beauty, and honor their connection with the planet. Doing it with others is even more fun!

⚠⭐Looking ahead there is rain in the forecast for this weekend. As per my ticket policy in light rain the event will turn into a Mindful Hike. In heavier rain the event will now be pushed to a rain date of October 21st at 11:11am.

I will be making the call on Saturday morning by 8am, basically giving me a chance to look at the radar that morning and if there is more than 50% chance of rain and if that rain looks like it’s in the yellow/orange/red on the radar map then the event will be pushed.

I will reach out via email Saturday morning and let attendees know the call.

General Format:

Meet the group on the deck attached to the nature center building at the front entrance to the building where restrooms are located. Restrooms officially open at 12pm, hopefully an RNC employee will be there early to let us in if we need to use the facilities.

Then we will walk as a group over to a quiet area, either near the butterfly garden or within the green/yellow loop trail. Students please bring a yoga mat or blanket to sit on. Veronica will lead a 60 minute accessible beginner friendly yoga class. Expect centering, breathing, gentle movement ending in relaxation.  There will be an option to share with the group about your experience at the end.

About me: My name is Veronica Carpenter. I live in Audubon NJ. I'm a Certified Yoga Therapist. I am forever a curious explorer and nature lover with a hippie heart. I am excited to bring accessible stress relieving mindfulness and yoga special events in nature for those in the area. I also offer virtual Yoga Therapy sessions, accessible group yoga classes and facilitate monthly group sacred spaces called Soulhood Circles. I live a Yogic lifestyle, applying principles to align myself and the world around me with love. My style is practical yet playful, with a trauma-informed lens.

About RNC:  Rancocas Nature Center is a non-profit organization situated on 210 acres of the Rancocas State Park with 3 miles of hiking trails through meadows, forest, and wetlands in Westampton NJ.
