Free Yoga in the Garden

Join us in the Garden for a free 45 minute class lead by Nicolette Telech. Nicolette has been instructing vinyasa style yoga classes since 2015. During this class, students can expect a unique and accessible yoga sequence, linking breath to movement to increase strength and flexibility often while integrating mindfulness techniques. Nicolette especially enjoys teaching outdoors amidst the sights, smells, and sounds of nature, which often aid students in cultivating presence and peacefulness on and off the mat.

 

Meet at the Garden’s Main Gate. Please bring your own yoga mat or beach towel. This class will be held outdoors, so please be prepared for the weather with appropriate layers. Rain cancels.
