Twilight Yoga & Stargazing-Moonless Night,Orion Nebula,Warm flexible clothing

The event time of day has changed so more time can be given to assemble the telescope between the yoga and the stargazing

Update: This event moved from original date (November 30) to November 23rd.
Welcome everyone! This event is in Richardson away from city lights (to an extent) more details with pics on the comments section to help you find the exact spot at the park

Cloudy or not, we will still have this yoga (45 min) and then stargazing (30 -90 min) event! Sunset is at 5:30 pm for this date

Note: Those attending for the astronomy MUST also do the yoga part of the event - inexpensive yoga mats are available at Target, TJ Max and many other stores.
Bring a yoga mat, towel (for wiping off sweat), and water bottle. If you have a yoga block or that would be great too
We will place our mats near the center of this small park.

Matt Cooper will be teaching Yin Yoga - this entails 1 minute long poses that relieve the tension we all build up in our bodies throughout sleep and daytime.

During the very first part of yoga practice, Matt will be showing each pose then assembling the top half of the 9 ft telescope shown in the pic one piece at a time.

After yoga I will point to each prominent star, planet and a few constellations in the sky.

More to say later at the event. Feel free to ask anything in the comments section.
There is a restroom at the west side of the part

PS, I will bring “glow in the dark” 1 inch wide label tape for people to take and write their names - this sometimes helps it be not so quirky remembering people's names when we talk as a group doing yoga or at the telescope looking at the night sky. Just bring me the labels back after the event, for erasing and reuse.

Not everyone needs to use the name labels. Just use one if you see fit. I will have them simply with me as we start the event.
