The Outdoor Adventure Program wants to take you away for a weekend that will fuse the beauty of nature with the freeing meditation of a yoga retreat.  This trip will travel to the Knobstone Hiking Trail in Southern Indiana for a weekend of camping while taking part in progressive Power Vinyasa yoga sessions that will put you and your body in touch with the beautiful surroundings.  During the weekend, participants will have the opportunity to explore sections of the 58-mile trail and enjoy a weekend out with mother nature.

Cost: $16
Registration deadline: Each Wednesday before the climb. Register at The Ray Membership Services desk, online or through The Ray at DePaul app! For details on how to get a user name and password and download the app, go to the Registration page.
