Join Heart of Yoga and Lebanese Outdoor Adventures - LOA on Saturday, September 13th, for an enchanting Yoga Hike in Al-Shouf Cedar Nature Reserve.
HIKE DESCRIPTION: The Al-Shouf Cedar Nature Reserve, spanning from Dahr Al-Baidar to Niha Mountain, includes three beautiful cedar forests: Maasser Al-Shouf, Barouk, and Ain Zhalta–Bmohary. These forests make up one-fourth of Lebanon’s remaining cedars, some being more than 2,000 years old. Our hike starts at the Acacia area, climbs up to “Massyaf El Mir,” and reaches the cedar forest. Then, we will go down to the artificial lake and end at the entrance of the reserve. Along the way, there will be several short breaks to enjoy the amazing views and natural surroundings. Patricia Jabre will guide us through a 45-minute yoga session focusing on breathing and stretches to help improve lung strength, posture, and breathing.
