Hike to Yoga: Monthly Mini Urban Retreat — Wellness Is Not a Solo Sport

August is National Wellness Month, and every ad you'll see this month sells the same story. A bath. A journal. A weekend alone to "recharge." We're doing this one differently.

Come move with us instead.

We're gathering at Kenneth Hahn for a morning that starts with a hike, moves into yoga wave practice, and ends with food and stillness in a circle of people who showed up for the same reason you did. No mats to master. No pace to keep up with. Just breath, trail, and company.

This one's rooted in the first stage of our Root to Rise framework — grounding in body, breath, and nature — because before anything else, wellness starts with coming back to yourself. And we've found that's easier to do next to someone else doing it too.

What to expect:
Opening circle, mindful hike, yoga wave practice, group photo, and a BYO picnic to close things out. Bring water, layers, and whatever you need for the ground.

Details:
📍 Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area [confirm entrance]
🗓️ Saturday, August 1st

Come as you are.

Open to all. Rooted in freedom. Rising together.

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.
