BEACH LAKE, PA – Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River is excited to present a new series of programs this summer, called ‘Yoga By The River’. The sessions will take place on Saturday June 25th, Saturday July 23rd, and Saturday August 20th, at 9:30 AM at the Corwin Farm Ranger Station, 2995 State Route 97, Pond Eddy, NY 12770. The sessions will be led by Maggie Lehrian of Roots Yoga Studio in Hawley, PA, and will be free to the public. To register for the sessions or for more information, please call Anya Shaunessy at 570-685-4871 ext. 6610, space is limited.

‘Yoga By The River’ is made possible by an Active Trails grant through the National Parks Foundation. The Active Trails Program supports healthy living by encouraging people to get out and active in national parks programs that promote recreation and exercise. In addition to park ranger-led hikes and paddles this summer, we are offering yoga sessions to promote physical health as well as mental well-being. Spending time in nature is a great way to relax and unwind after a long week, and it is also a great way to explore parts of Upper Delaware you may not get a chance to visit often. The Corwin Farm Ranger Station is home to part of the Delaware and Hudson Canal, as well as a historic lock tender’s house in the 1800’s.

Whether you are curious about trying yoga for the first time, or an expert looking to roll your mat out somewhere new, we welcome you to join us for ‘Yoga By The River’! Keep in mind that the sessions will be outdoors, and the weather may be hot. Make sure to bring plenty of water and sunscreen, as well as your yoga mat.
