Join Aviva at the Science Center for a nature yoga session. Nature yoga is where we dive into learning about the natural world around us and reflect on nature's lessons for living richer lives. This month's focus will be on mushrooms and what fungus can teach us about connecting while also letting go. 

Please arrive 5 minutes beforehand and bring a yoga mat. Don't have a yoga mat? Don't worry! Let us know and we can bring extras.
