This special class combines the ancient tradition of expressing our heartfelt desires for a brighter future through water lanterns, plus the practice of paddleboard yoga. Our boards will be illuminated with colorful LEDs to light our way on the water and into the night. This is an annual, heartfelt event that lovingly brings the community together. On the day of the event, you'll check-in at the gate and receive your customizable lantern. We'll lounge on the shore as we customize our lanterns to reflect our individual dreams, desires, prayers or intentions. Bring your appetite as there will be yummy food vendors. Next, we'll paddle out and enjoy a gentle yoga practice on the water. We will then join the lantern launch, from our boards. It will be a magical experience. The best part is being able to enjoy all the lanterns from the lake as they float by carrying everyone's heartfelt expressions. The Water Lantern Festival plus Paddleboard Yoga is a powerful combination of the healing forces of both water and yoga. Together, these forces become a quiet alchemy that steadies the heart, clears the mind, and restores the deeper layers of our being.
