Lover of variety Amy Hubbell has about as many employment experiences as there are positions in hatha yoga. We met huddled under Bob Babich’s food tent in a downpour at the Hiawatha Music Festival in Marquette in 2010. During our stand-up lunch that July day, I learned that she had just moved to Traverse City. Amy grew up in Haslett, Mich., near Lansing, and she graduated from the University of Michigan in 1999.
Beginning on the Summer Solstice, Yoga on the Beach and the Friends of Sleeping Bear Dunes are partnering up to offer these outdoor, donation-based yoga classes to the community.
Add “sticky mat” to your haul-to-Lake Michigan list. Yoga on the Beach is coming to Glen Haven, Aug. 13, at 8 p.m. near the cannery. “I really like bringing yoga to places where people wouldn’t normally do it,” said Amy Hubbell, Leelanau County yoga teacher and one of this event’s organizers. “Yoga on the beach is a unique way to get out and enjoy nature as you tap into health and well being.”
Do you love yoga, fresh air, and the sound of gentle waves lapping at the beach. Come and experience the beach in a whole different way. The Friends of Sleeping Bear Dunes is partnering with Yoga on the Beach to conduct two yoga sessions this summer. All donations for the classes benefit Friends of Sleeping Bear Dunes, who maintain the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, among other important functions.
