Zen on Top – Mountain Top Yoga
What’s a better backdrop to relax and recharge than surrounded by Mother Nature. We have 3-4 mountain top yoga sessions during the winter, all are FREE and led by Golden local Jessica Pyper. These are held at the top of the mountain, on the Eagle’s Eye Restaurant Terrace, giving the ultimate environment for your yoga session! P.S – did we mention they’re free?
