The cave will transform into a “Nidra Nest” with zero gravity chairs, blankets, and bolsters to fully support you, whether sitting or lying down, for the entire experience.

Goat Yoga on the Farm
Nov 25 @ 10:30 am – 12:30 pm

Yoga with goats…it is just as ridiculous and amazing as it sounds. You can expect to grin, giggle, move, and flow alongside the sweetest little snuggly socialites. The goats may pull your attention away from your movement practice from time to time but they are the most adorable anchors to the present moment and can spark pure joy.

Disconnect with stress and connect with loving, social & adorable goats! This is a unique opportunity to spend time in a cozy, open-air barn and let the busyness of the world melt away for a moment. You can expect a beginner-friendly yoga class that is easy to follow…and rejoin if you find yourself distracted throughout.

Register Here!

Wear loose fitting clothing, long pants, shirts with sleeves, and clothes that you don’t mind getting a bit dirty. Please plan on bringing your own yoga mat or you may rent a mat in advance for $5. Don’t forget to bring an open mind and adventurous spirit! It is sure to be an experience to remember!

Hike with Conserving Carolina and Foothills Humane Society
Dec 2 all-day
Green River Gamelands

Hikers and their dogs are invited to join Conserving Carolina and the Foothills Humane Society on Saturday, December 2nd for a 6.5-mile hike along the Green River Cove trail in the Green River Game Lands. Conserving Carolina’s Community Engagement Director, Pam Torlina, will lead the hike from the trail head off of Green River Cove Road.

This is a great opportunity to give a shelter dog a break from the shelter and allow them to enjoy a socializing walk in the woods. The number of shelter dogs is limited, so please contact Paula Drake, Volunteer Coordinator for FHS by Wednesday, November 22nd to arrange a time for training orientation, pairing with the appropriate dog, and to sign a volunteer waiver. Paula can be reached at [email protected]. Participants may also bring their own dog on the hike so long as they are kept on leash and do not have any nose-to-nose meetings with the shelter dogs.

The 6.5-mile moderate hike mostly parallels the Green River, with an approximately 250′ elevation gain over one mile before descending back to the river for great views and the perfect lunch spot. There are several stream crossings along the trail and the trail terminates just below the Narrows.

Be sure to wear appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear. Bring a bag lunch and/or snack and plenty of water (don’t forget snacks for your pooch!). Before the hike, you will be asked to sign a waiver form. For your safety, do not attempt any hike beyond your ability and experience.

Pre-registration is mandatory, and space is limited to 20 participants. RSVP at conservingcarolina.org/calendar.

In Ayurveda, the kapha dosha is cold, heavy, wet, thick, and slow, among other things. This dosha tends to be most present in winter and early spring. As a practice, we challenge that in yoga by building heat in the body and releasing excess water, so we can be our strongest and fittest, boosting our immune system and staving off depression.
