Sacred Wings: A Mindful Yoga & Wildlife Encounter

Join us for a rare and reverent experience in collaboration with Wildbird Recovery blending gentle yoga, wildlife education, and mindful connection in the presence of a live bird ambassador.

This offering is designed to honor both human nervous systems and wildlife comfort, inviting us to slow down, soften, and remember our place within the natural world.

What to Expect:

Wildlife Education & Connection (First 30 minutes)

Wildbird Recovery will introduce two ambassador birds, sharing their stories, species information, and how to respectfully share space with wildlife. One ambassador bird, accompanied by a trained handler, will remain in the room during the yoga practice.

Mindful, Gentle Yoga Practice (≈50 minutes)

This is a slow, grounded, quiet yoga class designed specifically to maintain a calm environment for the bird.

Gentle breathwork to settle the body

Slow, intentional movements

Long holds and floor-based or supported postures

Emphasis on stillness, awareness, and respect

Collective Circle & Guided Meditation

We will close the practice in a gentle circle with a guided meditation and collective breathwork, connecting:

To ourselves

To nature

To the shared web of life and all living creatures

Closing Connection & Conversation (Final 30 minutes)

Time to connect with:

Wildbird Recovery staff

Learn more about their mission and wildlife education

Ask questions

Share reflections and conversation

Important Notes

All levels welcome — no prior yoga experience needed

This experience is about coexisting, not performing.
