Outdoor Adventures

Friday, February 22, 1 - 3:15 pm; Open and FREE to DePaul University students only.  

Tired of being cooped up inside? So it's time to opt outside and enjoy the restorative benefits of a nature walk followed by a special yoga class. Meet at The Ray for a refreshing walk to the Lincoln Park Conservatory, check out the beautiful, earthy world inside, and return to The Ray for yoga!  You are welcome to participate in both activities or just choose one. We'll leave the Ray at 1 pm and return by 2:30 for a 45 minute yoga class. Can you think of a better way to decompress from the week and get re-energized for the weekend? We can't either!

Meet at The Ray by the front desk for the walk, OR if you plan to attend yoga only, meet in Studio C at 2:25 pm. Please pre-register so we can get a pre-walk count, but feel free to grab a friend and bring them along! They'll thank you for it!​
