MYA is coming together with Emily McIntosh of Reach Personal Fitness and Mainely Succulent’s Lauren Ashley Tuell for a wicked fun afternoon by the beautiful Stillwater River! Adventurers will learn how to move smoothly with a steel mace and how to make a macrame holder for succulent plants. Of course there will be some gentle yoga and yummy vegetarian food as well :) You’ll not want to miss this Sunday funday!
We’ll meet up at lovely Webster Park in Orono and get an awesome start with an immersion into steel mace. Emily has enjoyed teaching fitness classes since 2013 but two years ago happened upon something unique that captured her attention and heart, the steel mace. This ancient weapon turned fitness tool has been adapted into many disciplines and features a steel or wooden handle with an offset weight on the end. The mace challenges strength, balance and coordination. Adventurers will enjoy becoming beautiful warriors by connecting the strength of mind and body to learn the art of Steel Mace Flow.
Next up, we’ll wander to the other side of the bridge along the Stillwater River to Brownies Beach for a bit of yoga stretching. Eventually heading back to the park where MYA will offer up a tasty vegetarian picnic with a wide assortment of yummy eats to enjoy.
Adventurers will then spend some quality time with the Mainely Succulents shop owner and master planter, Lauren. She will guide us into a detailed handling session of succulents. These types of plants have amazing water saving abilities, usually with thickened, fleshy and engorged parts. We will get a full tutorial on a wide sampling of succulents. And, yes, there will be macrame, adventurers will have an opportunity to put together a hanger for their succulents that they can bring home and shower with love.
