$0.00 Celebrating Earth Day Love at Oakton Community Park
Location: Oakton Community Park, 2841 Hunter Mill Road, Oakton, VA 22124
Date: Saturday, April 26, 2025, 1-3:30 p.m.
Join us for a special Earth Day volunteer event on Saturday, April 26, 2025. We will show love to the earth by removing invasive plants and planting native trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials at Oakton Community Park.
Lisa will start the day with a brief warm-up yoga session (no mats needed!). We will then remove invasive plants and help restore the parkland by planting regionally friendly plants. Willow, a volunteer Invasive Management Area Site Leader with the Fairfax County Park Authority and a Beloved 200-hour TT graduate, will guide the invasive plant removal and habitat restoration efforts.
All tools and supplies will be furnished, so you do not need to bring any tools. As we will be working in the woods, where there may be poison ivy, ticks, and thorny branches, etc., please wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts, and closed-toed shoes or boots. Please also bring work gloves if you have them, but gloves will be available if you forget or don't have them. We also encourage you to bring water to drink in a reusable water bottle. There will be a water cooler to refill your water bottle at the site.
We hope that you will join us. This is a beautiful way to celebrate Earth Day, help the local community, and benefit the environment.
This volunteer event is open to all in the Beloved community, but we ask that you register ahead of time so that we have an idea of the number of attendees. There is no charge for this event.
Lisa Hviding
Lisa’s journey into the study of yoga goes back many years. She first signed up for a 90-day trial at “It’s Yoga” when she lived in San Francisco back in the 90s and has been practicing ever since. In 2016, Lisa found her opportunity to dive a little deeper through the teacher training at Beloved Yoga. Eager to share her passion for yoga, she was determined to hone her understanding so that she could communicate, “why yoga!” This inquiry of “Why” guided Lisa through Beloved’s 200 hr and 300 hr teacher trainings. It was a deep dive that grounded her practice through the exploration of traditional teachings, and reaffirmed their value in our modern world. Whether understood as sattva or homeostasis, Lisa is dedicated to sharing the wisdom of yoga, as it offers essential tools of self-regulation. She firmly believes that yoga is for everyone. Her experience has made her adept at meeting students where they are, offering the customizations that help to build a relationship with the body, breath and mind. Lisa is a 500 RYT through the Yoga Alliance. Her training includes Pranayama, Yin, Senior, Trauma Informed and Accessible Yoga.
