Snow Trek - 1st Annual Winter in motion

SAVE THE DATE!

Sunday, January 17, 2010

As the mercury plunges and the snow begins to fall, your first instinct may be to hibernate until spring. But, get up off the couch, put down the remote, and discover the real potential of Winnipeg's winter by joining us at the first annual "Snow Trek - Winter in motion".

It promises be a fun-filled afternoon for the whole family to get outside for some cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, skating, tobogganing and walking. No Experience, No Problem! We are offering FREE cross-country ski instruction and snowshoe guided hikes. No Equipment, No Problem! We will have a limited supply of FREE cross-country skis & snowshoes for you to use (ID required) at all four locations.  Too Young, Too Old! No such thing...Everybody Welcome!

Come out and explore the new cross country ski trails and winter walkways available in Winnipeg - from The Forks to Assiniboine Park and out to Fort Whyte Alive!

 YOGA WITH BETH MARTENS

“That first class with Beth opened up a awareness that is still unravelling three years later. Her yoga introduced me to a dimension of being that transcended mind and thought, and yet enhanced it at

the same time.” Brad Hercina, teacher, healer, Campbell River, BC
