See below for events you can expect to see hosted by or attended by Lisa of The Why I Move Project! Normally you can catch Lisa speaking at conferences, hosting walking groups, and attending other fitness events. Given the impact of COVID-19, we do not expect many live events to move forward and hope to see you all soon!
The Garden is located on the South Campus of the University of Alberta. Enter the University Farm off 60th Ave.

Bring your own foldable lawn chair!
No need to bring a yoga mat, although you are welcome to do so.
Ensure you wear comfortable and weather appropriate clothing.
Bug spray may also be helpful!

All proceeds from Lawn Chair Yoga at the Green and Gold Garden are donated—via the garden—to the Tubahumurize Association in Rwanda. This not-for-profit organization supports socially and economically marginalized women through counselling, vocational training, health education, microcredit loans, and employment opportunities. It’s a meaningful way to move your body while making a difference.
