SUNRISE MEDITATION, YOGA and SWIM/SNORKEL
Sunday, August 15, from 6-10am

Back by popular demand! We had a wonderful time meditating, stretching and swimming in July (check out some photos!) so we decided to do it again. Join us on a local beach for a beautiful morning, starting with sunrise meditation followed by yoga and swimming and/or snorkeling. This nearby reef, which is accessible from the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea beach, has lots of beautiful fish. We've even spotted a sea turtle! After our swim we'll conclude with a breakfast snack on the beach.

$35 if you snorkel, $25 if you don't snorkel.
Space limited. Advance sign-up required.
Please bring a beach towel and yoga mat.

Snorkeling participants must be good swimmers and provide their own mask, snorkel and flippers.

FREE MEDITATION and KIRTAN (SATSANG)
