Join us for four days of casual birding and user-friendly yoga at the historic Malheur Field Station during the fall migration.

Enjoy the calm of observation and gentle, restorative yoga.

This program is designed for those who want to experience an unhurried birding opportunity at this unique site in the National Wildlife Refuge system.

We'll balance morning bird walks with afternoon yoga sessions designed to soothe and ground your body in the high desert.

Expect:
Casual guided birding through riparian oases and vast wetlands
Gentle yoga for all levels. Movement focused on mobility and restoration
Stunning landscapes of southeast Oregon, Steens Mountain and Harney Basin
Connection - fresh, communal meals and evening stargazing with fellow nature lovers

Susan Lamberson (yoga instructor, most recently in the Boise area for more than a decade) and Karen Jacobs (after a Forest Service career, has enjoyed birding in Eastern Oregon in her 15-year retirement) are teaming up and encourage you join us.

Our field station has many buildings in need of renovation. One is our huge gym - but in the meantime it’s home to these impressive Great Horned Owls. Check it out!
