Upcoming Events at ECC
Sunset Yoga in the Pasture
Guests can expect to arrive and be greeted by our resident rescue horses as well as some light refreshments for a pre-class social hour! We will then make our way to the main field for a 45 minute hatha yoga class, taught by Gwen of Alternative Energy Hatha Yoga. The class will be focused on postures for relaxation and tranquility. Class will include poses, guided meditation, and breathing practices all while the sun sets over beautiful Nokesville! To conclude our evening, Beth of Creative Connections will provide the unique experience of a sound bath using crystal singing bowls.
Please bring your mat and a towel (water will be provided). Attire is comfortable! Please come dressed in loose fitting clothing or active wear that you don’t mind getting a little dirty here on the farm. Rain date TBD as needed.
Ticket price includes social hour refreshments, yoga class, and sound bath experience. All proceeds to ECC go toward cost of care for our rescue horses.
