Hike to Yoga: Monthly Mini Urban Retreat — ROOTED & RISING

We are so excited to co-host with API Rise for our monthly Hike to Yoga Mini Urban Retreat, a morning dedicated to nature, mindfulness, community, and collective rest.

Each gathering is rooted in the belief that:

✨ Rest is rebellion

✨ Community is a human need

✨ We go farther together

✨ Your self-care is your contribution to world peace

This month’s theme is: Rooted & Rising. Hike to Yoga invites you to honor Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month the way our ancestors always have — through land, breath, and community.

We begin the morning with the earth as our teacher. Then a small community panel will open dialogue around current issues facing Asian Americans and AAPI mental health — the stories that often go unspoken, the weight that often goes unshared. From there, we break into small groups to ground our reflections into something tangible: action steps we can carry back into our families, workplaces, and communities.

This is a space to be seen, to speak honestly, and to remember that you don't have to carry it alone.

Open to all. Rooted in community. Rising for each other.

Hike to Yoga started with a simple idea: that when we heal in nature, we heal ourselves and each other. Today, it’s clear that environmental justice is inseparable from community care. Too many of our neighborhoods lack safe, healthy green spaces—just like ecosystems suffer when biodiversity is lost, people suffer when human diversity isn’t embraced. Hike to Yoga is about aligning people and the planet, building belonging through mindful hikes, yoga, and collective restoration. Our vision is to expand nationally, creating Peace Warrior hubs in every city with a park—because we believe healing is contagious, and together we can restore our land, our communities, and our humanity.
