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.

About the Instructor

She believes movement, meditation, rest, and breathwork can support us in the times we are living in and incorporates somatic body movements, deep rest, and trauma informed practices into all of her classes. She believes yoga is for all bodies and wants to create accessible and inclusive spaces that allow for transformation and expansion. She has an accessible yoga teaching certification from the Accessible Yoga Training School and teaches Restorative at West Side Yoga in Providence (at 108 studio). Yoga is the way for her to be in and of service in our community and be an agent for social change.

Whether you're a mom, or appreciate a mom in your life, we want to see you at a film screening of No Country for Mothers on October 22 at 6 PM!

Roger Williams Park Conservancy is hosting a screening of this impactful documentary created by @momsfirstus about what motherhood looks like in America today, at the @rwpbotanicalcenter. 

Joining us for the screening and a Q&A panel after the film are representatives from local organizations @collectiveactionri, @rikidscount, and @unitedwayri. This open dialogue and opportunity for resource-sharing is designed to embody the film's premise: that motherhood in America is not a private struggle but a collective one. 

This event is free and open to the public! Learn more and RSVP online (link in bio): https://www.rwpconservancy.org/event/film-screening-of-no-country-for-mothers/
