Join the Arabia Alliance and Jess Pfeffer, RYT + MHC cultivator of connections through holistic events, for a Daisy Days Yoga Experience in the Davison-Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve. Unroll your yoga mats on the smooth, sun-warmed rock, and feel the connection to the earth beneath you.

Jess begins the session with a grounding meditation, inviting you to breathe deeply and let go of any tension. As you move through a series of poses, you feel your body stretch and strengthen, each movement in harmony with the natural surroundings.
