Van's Beach
Open Air 04: Sunrise at Van's Beach
Christen Landry runs a shortly-after-sunrise practice on the sand at Van's Beach, with Pyramid Point out across the water. Expect arms-up sun salutations timed to the sun climbing the dunes. Bring a towel — it works better than a mat on sand, and it's there for a swim afterward if you choose to take a dip in the big lake. Coffee will be waiting at the trailhead when class finishes. Your ticket includes a Leelanau Conservancy nature guide and a River Studio and Leelanau Conservancy sticker. Part of River Studio's second annual Open Air Series, a fundraiser for the Leelanau Conservancy. All proceeds go directly to the Conservancy.
