In our outdoor programs we will weave yoga and nature together in a way that dissolves the boundaries between them. Nebraska Game and Parks will be offering summer nature yoga classes once a month from May- August. Two classes will be held in Lincoln at city parks and two will be held at Schramm Education […]
