Dreamscape Meets Asana Yoga Hike

Retreat from the everyday and embrace the reflective beauty of the mountains! Join Kim and Tara for a unique "Dreamscape Meets Asana" Yoga hike, hosted by West Asheville Yoga.

What are you drawn to as you wander? What does the wind through the trees remind you of? In the vastness of nature, we find mirrors of ourselves. This journey is a deep reconnection with both your inner landscape and the incredible Earth that cradles us. We'll blend the mindful movement of asana with an exploration of your dreamscapes in waking life, all within the stunning backdrop of the mountains. Commune with breathtaking scenery, remembering that every encounter is a reflection. Let the wild outdoors guide you to a deeper understanding of who you are.

This one-mile trail will lead us up to a beautiful large bald summit at 4,232 ft with panoramic views. This hike up to the summit is challenging, but not strenuous. Don't worry, we won't be speed racing to the top - enjoying the journey is all part of the fun. At the top of the majestic Bearwallow bald, we will share a grounding asana practice.
