Vinyasa Yoga on the Plaza with Yoga Squared

Settle into the lawn at Cascade Plaza for a free, weekly outdoor Vinyasa yoga session led by Yoga Squared. Nikki leads a one hour practice that blends mindful movement with meditation in an accessible format. The class is suitable for all levels, from newcomers to experienced yogis. Because the session happens on grass, bring a yoga mat or towel. Registration is requested, and all participants must agree to the liability waiver.
