Beardfest 2025 // Mindful Steps - Intro to Walking Meditation
Mindful Steps: Intro to Walking Meditation
With Cole Hooley (Middle Path Wellness, Ecotherapy with Cole)
Amid the vibrant energy of Beardfest, Mindful Steps offers a chance to slow down and reconnect—with your breath, your body, and the living landscape beneath your feet. As we walk together around the lake, you’ll be guided through breathwork, sensory awareness, and gentle movement to help you feel grounded and present. Rooted in the wild beauty of the Jersey Pinelands, this practice invites you to attune to the rhythms of the earth and explore how mindfulness can deepen your relationship with the natural world. We’ll close with an optional clean-up for those who feel inspired to give back to and honor the land that holds us. No experience needed—just come as you are, and take a mindful step into awareness.

With Cole Hooley (Middle Path Wellness, Ecotherapy with Cole) Rooted Resilience is a 90-minute immersive workshop exploring the intersection of holistic mental health, nervous system science, and our connection to nature.

Whether you're moving through stress, seeking more balance, or simply curious about the healing power of the natural world, this workshop invites you to reconnect—with yourself, your body, and the rhythms that support your well-being.

Set aside time to rest, reset, and reconnect as we transition into the lighter, brighter energy of spring. Whether you're joining virtually from home or in person at Mishana Yoga, this evening class invites deep rest and nervous system nourishment through a blend of yin and restorative yoga.
In-person attendees will have access to props (bolsters, blankets, blocks, etc.) to support the practice, and optional Reiki assists will be offered to enhance relaxation and energetic balance. Virtual participants are encouraged to create a cozy space with blankets, pillows, and any props available at home.
This 60-minute class is the perfect way to wind down your Monday and ground yourself for the week ahead.
Why make yin/restorative yoga part of your spring routine?
Relieve Stress: Gently release tension and drop into your parasympathetic “rest and digest” mode.

Balance Energy: As activity increases with the season, this practice helps you stay rooted and centered.
Improve Sleep: Evening practice calms the mind and prepares the body for deep, restorative rest.
