Bronx Birding & Yoga
Our five borough yoga series comes to the Bronx this morning with a free Vinyasa Yoga Class starting at 10:00AM at the Nature Center in Van Cortlandt Park. 

If you can get up early - you're in for a treat.... at OutdoorFest we love birds so we're partnering with the Audubon for a morning bird walk! 

Birding - no registration neccesary, starts at 8:00AM
Guides: NYC Audubon, Van Cortlandt Park Conservancy
Meet at Van Cortlandt Nature Center.
Check out the Google Map Here!

The history of birding and Van Cortlandt Park are inseparable. Influential birders such as Roger Tory Peterson and Allan D. Cruickshank got their starts on Van Cortlandt’s ecologically diverse grounds. These walks celebrate the tradition set forth by these great ornithologists. Participants will look for various species of residents and migrants and discuss a wide range of avian topics. For more information, please call 212-691-7483. No registration necessary. No limit. Free.

After the bird walk, join the folks from Outdoorfest for a free yoga class, held just outside of the Nature Center.

Spread out on the grass with a notebook and get ready to change your life.

The Fearless Living Workshop is designed for those of us who love to explore, stretch ourselves in new ways, and are ready to release a fear that’s been holding us back. Writing creates a space for us to process our experiences in a way that we hadn’t before and uncover new insights. We’ll enjoy interactive activities, and learn how to release our travel related fears through our bodies and out onto paper.

In this workshop we will:
– Clarify our fear through guided writing activities
– Explore where we are holding fear
– Uncover insights about our past and present experiences
– Create a new vision of what’s next

If nothing else, come by and have a picnic. Take your shoes off. Play in the grass. Sit under a
tree. Relax... living in NYC doesn't mean you can't enjoy the great outdoors.

Bring a notebook + pen, yoga mat, sneakers water, and frisbee for a full afternoon on one of NYC's largest open space area: Governors Island.
