Sunrise Yoga

  • Cave Creek Farm 230 Jennings Road Trout Lake, WA, 98650 United States (map)

Join us for Sunrise Yoga on the farm every Thursday morning to get your day started. We have invited some of our favorite instructors to rotate throughout the season, each offering a different style and presence. Pick your favorite, or make it a weekly ritual.

Yoga and the Benefits

While it is commonly thought of only as physical poses, the entirety of yoga includes a wide range of contemplative and self-disciplinary practices, such as meditation, chanting, mantra, prayer, breath work, ritual, and even selfless action. The word “yoga” comes from the root word “yuj,” which means “to yoke” or “to bind.” The word itself has numerous meanings, from an astrological conjunction to matrimony, with the underlying theme being union or connection. At the farm, we believe that connection to nature and union with the source are the most powerful healers. A strong practice can help build muscle, dramatically boost metabolism, and breathing fully and deeply increases circulation. As a form of low-impact exercise, yoga has been shown to lower stress hormones in our bodies while simultaneously increasing beneficial brain chemicals like endorphins. These feel-good chemicals help decrease anxiety and improve mood.

Limited to 12 spots.

Duration: 75 minutes

Meet the Instructor

Dana Rivkin was 8-years-old when she went on her first overnight backpacking trip in Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Northern Minnesota. While she could barely carry the pack and cried most of the time, something inspired her to return to outdoor adventures year after year. As Dana got older, her love for nature deepened and drove her to study, travel, live and work all over the globe, until friends and natural beauty ultimately landed her in Trout Lake, Washington.

Dana’s yoga journey began in 2005 when she walked out of her first yoga class feeling like she was floating on clouds. This feeling drove her to study different types of yoga practices and philosophies, and, eventually, drew her to begin teaching in 2011. She has now completed over 500-hours of training in a variety of styles.

In her classes, Dana offers breath focused, fluid movement with alignment cues that explore anatomy, personal development and playful discovery of the self. She believes that yoga is a lifelong study on and off the mat; one that can be practiced in a studio, at home, in the classroom, on an adventure, at work…all the time.

Off of the mat, Dana loves to surf, climb, dance, cook, forage for mushrooms, see live music and snort when she laughs.
