Hiking & Fitness
Morning Yoga Hike at the Native Seed Farm

Join us at the Native Seed Farm for a short walking tour of the 8-acre property, where more than 50 native plant species are grown and harvested for seed, followed up by an outdoor yoga session. The seed grown at the farm is used to help restore and enhance the preserved lands within the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks. We will meet at the Seed Farm staging area, which has restrooms and a water refill station, drop off our mats and head out for a short walk, about 1 mile, along the flat paths amongst the rows of shrubs and flower beds.

Please bring water, your own yoga mat and large beach towel. Mats will not be provided; we will drop mats at a secure location while hiking. Closed-toe shoes and water are required for the walk. Hats and sunscreen highly recommended.

Reviewing the 1-through-5 Difficulty Ratings will help you evaluate your readiness to participate in this level-2 activity on the land. Please visit our FAQ page for answers to activity specific questions you may have prior to registering.
