Gentle Yoga at the Park

Mondays, July 13 – September 7 (no yoga on August 31), 6 PM
Outside the Betsey Williams Cottage

These special outdoor yoga sessions led by Ellary Gamache will focus on gently and lovingly stretching and embracing our minds, bodies, and breath. We will explore gentle movement through physical poses (asana), slow flow style Hatha Vinyasa, breathing exercises, principles of active rest and guided meditations. This class intends to be an accessible, inclusive, and welcoming space for all bodies and all humans wanting to explore a yoga practice while embracing our connection to the natural world. All of these sessions are weather permitting and held outside in Roger Williams Park, so please dress in a way that is comfortable for you and suitable for you to enjoy being outdoors.

You are welcome to bring a mat and/or any props (beach towels, books, blocks, blankets, extra layers of clothing, etc.) that best support you.

These sessions are for adults 18 and older.

She believes yoga is for all bodies and wants to create accessible and inclusive spaces that allow for transformation and expansion.
