Janet from Kind Soul Yoga will be offering park yoga practices again this summer! Per Janet, “Similar structure to last year. Easy peasy is the theme, this should not be stressful. Easy flowing yoga practice. This is a practice for all – it’s not a place for specific mudras and pranayama and things that many haven’t heard of – it’s a yoga practice for all – regardless of lineage, physical conditioning – it’s meant to gather, breathe and move alongside other sweet people – in a beautiful setting.”
Park practices are taking place Tuesdays and Saturdays (June 11th – September 28th) at 8am! Meet at the Nicolet Bay Beach area, near the water, just north of the Camp Store. The cost for this class is $10. A few mats are available, first come, first served (the grassy area and a towel work just fine as well). No need to register.
*The first Saturday of every month, Kind Soul will donate 50% of the funds to the Friends of Peninsula State Park!!!

Artist in Residence Program - Session II: July 30 - August 24, 2024 Tomiko Jones
2024-07-30 - 2024-08-24 | WI
Tomiko’s art builds from a firm understanding of her relationship to nature and her place
within it. The overarching element throughout her work is a relationship to place and a loose
mapping of landscape. Exploring the geography of changing landscapes, she searches for places
where she can feel a sense of communication.
