Sunset Yoga Hike at Poo Poo Point, July 31

Join us SUNDAY, JULY 31 for hiking + Sunset Yoga

Hike: “Intermediate/hard” 3.6 miles (round-trip) with steady elevation gain (~1,700 ft in 1.8 miles up)

Yoga: 60 minute all-levels Vinyasa yoga practice

Date/Time: Sunday, July 31 6pm – 10pm (rescheduled from 7/26)

HIKE

We’ll gather at the Poo Poo Point Chirico trailhead parking lot at 6pm. At 6:15pm we’ll hike together to the first clearing/false summit, apx. 1.6 miles from the trailhead. We’ll set up our yoga mats at the large clearing (facing Mt. Rainier). 

The total hike is 3.2 miles round-trip with ~1700 ft. elevation gain (“short and very steep”), with an optional 1/2 mile more to the second/main viewpoint. As needed, we will break into smaller groups to respect the trail and support different paces.

SUNSET YOGA 

At the clearing we’ll gather for a 60 minute Vinyasa style yoga practice, focusing on stretching, breathing, and connecting to nature. The yoga practice is all-levels – designed for beginner and experienced yogis alike! We’ll end the class in time to enjoy the sunset at 8:43pm. With any luck, we’ll get a beautiful sunset from the south or west-facing view points.
