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.

In August, we took a tour of the Roger Williams Park Produce Donation Garden with garden leaders Kim and Deb to see what they were harvesting! Sponsored by the @rwpbotanicalcenter and run by volunteer @urimastergardeners, this flourishing vegetable garden feeds the community by growing and donating fresh, organic produce to local food banks and kitchens, and serves as public education.

They’re on track to grow over 3,500 pounds of food this year! 🍅🫑

The resourceful team of volunteers relies on help from the community. Visit the link in bio to learn more and see their wishlist of items ranging from lumber and hardware cloth to tools and supplies.

Stay tuned for part 2! 🌱
