Grip the Mat: Biodiversity Festival @ Constitution Garden
May 21 @ 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM

Yogis Christy Skarulis and Ashley Braun, co-founders of pop-up yoga brand Grip The Mat, will be leading an open yoga session for the centennial celebration of the United States National Park Service hosted by National Geographic on Saturday, May 21 at 9 am in the Constitution Garden as part of the Biodiversity Festival. Join GTM as they explore one of the most notable National Parks, the Mall, and connect with each other with a light-hearted yoga session followed by a brunch by Peet’s Coffee. We would love for you to inform your readers so they can participate in this yoga event! Admission is free but participants can RSVP here. Make sure to bring a yoga mat!

 

About Grip The Mat:

While struggling to balance an overly demanding work life, Christy and Ashley realized they were compromising happiness, health, and interpersonal connections for unfulfilling job titles. They decided to take life into their own hands and quit their 9-5’s to build what they were craving, thus Grip the Mat was founded. The brand hosts pop-up events featuring mixed-level “feel-good” yoga paired with social experiences inside fun, unique spaces. By fostering fitness, mindfulness, and togetherness, GTM events offer a unique environment for mind-body and social connection while building a tight knit community of like-minded people. Setting Grip the Mat apart from any other yoga concept, participants do an hour-long session followed by a social component, such as wine tasting or brunch.

 

About Biodiversity Festival:

This two-day Biodiversity Festival is part of the cornerstone BioBlitz in the Washington, D.C. region. The National Mall at Constitution Gardens will feature hands-on science exhibits, food and art, as well as family-friendly entertainment and activities. Constitution Gardens will also serve as base camp for the National Capital Parks BioBlitz and as a connection to all the other BioBlitzes taking place at national parks that weekend.

 

About BioBlitz:

The 2016 National Parks BioBlitz is the culmination of a 10-year series of BioBlitzes co-hosted by the National Park Service and the National Geographic Society at different national parks across the country, leading up the centennial of the National Park Service. The first in the series took place at Rock Creek Park in 2007. Other BioBlitz locations have included Biscayne National Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve, and Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. This year, 13 parks in Greater Washington and more than 100 national parks across the country will host BioBlitz events. A longtime partner of the National Park Service, the National Geographic Society helped draft legislation to establish the NPS in 1916. The Society has given many grants to create and sustain national parks across the United States, and has extensively covered the parks in its media for nearly a century.
