BEND, Ore. — Yoga teacher Khyra Wilhelm and Crossfit coach Cody Cutz feel most centered when practicing mindful movement outdoors. To guide others toward the same experience, they founded Wildland Guiding Co.
“We aim to provide transformational experiences based in natural areas while educating on the importance of protecting our environment,” Wilhelm said.
This summer, Wilhelm and Cutz are offering a free outdoor yoga series to connect longtime locals, new Central Oregon residents and visitors. The series takes place among the chirping birds and flowing Deschutes River of Tumalo State Park on the first Saturday of each month from June through September.
Wilhelm is a 200-hour certified vinyasa flow yoga teacher with a focus on restorative, nidra and trauma-informed yoga. She’ll lead an hour-long vinyasa flow for all levels, designed to develop strength and flexibility while linking breath with movement.
While classes are free to attend, space is limited and a reservation is required. And because the practice takes place at an Oregon state park, either a state park pass or a $5 parking fee is mandatory.
