Description

The Tahoe Rim Trail Association and Lake Tahoe Yoga are partnering for a Winter Wellness series that combines our iconic trail system with holistic practices to help you slow down and take in the wonder of the world around you.

Natural Integration begins at the Lake Tahoe Yoga Studio at 9 am for an hour of all level yoga asana. Then we will transition to Van Sickle State Park for a guided walk. The goal of these activities is not to workout or to hike a ton of miles–the goal is to connect with yourself and appreciate nature.

Depending on snow conditions, we will either hike or snowshoe. The TRTA can provide snowshoes upon request.

Helpful notes:

• Participants are expected to provide their own transportation between Lake Tahoe Yoga studio and Van Sickle bi-state park.
• The Van Sickle parking lot is closed for the winter season so the parking options are either free street parking along Lake Parkway Blv or paid parking at the Village Center. The group will rendezvous at the gated park entrance.
• Materials, including yoga mats, will be provided.
• All are welcome to participate in this event regardless of experience.

What to Expect

TRTA treks are group treks, and we do our best to keep the group together. Trip leaders dedicate a great deal of their time throughout the year sharing their passion for the outdoors. They are well-trained and experienced. Please respect the decisions made on the trail.
