Thursday is the new Friday for college students, but finding worthwhile events in and around Orange County isn’t always easy. So leave it to us.
Every week, we’ll comb through local and regional event calendars and drop suggestions for what to do here just in time for the weekend:
Flow Yoga in the Hill
Yoga and hiking in the Orchard Hills are a great way to start your morning. This class consists of a one-mile hike through the hills and is about an hour of vinyasa-style yoga. Vinyasa yoga is defined by non-stop movements synchronized with breathing exercises that increase blood circulation and your heart rate. You’ll be doing yoga on dirt, so bring a durable mat or extra padding. Although the class is free, it is advised to register ahead of time at letsgooutside.org/activities.
