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

Ellary Gamache (she/her) (500HR RYT, Restorative Level II, Skill in Action Social Justice Yoga Graduate) has been teaching yoga since 2014 and wants to create spaces and opportunities where you could embody freedom and practice radical self love on and off the mat. 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.

Venue

Inspired by Movies in the Park happening at the Boathouse Lawn tonight, we created a short film of our own reminiscing about Rosé in the Roses last month!

Our biennial garden party fundraiser event raised (🥁🥁)... $15,000! Those proceeds will go toward hosting free programming and creating community at Roger Williams Park all year long, from movie nights to concerts and more. Whether you were a sponsor, volunteer, or attended Rosé in the Roses, thank you for supporting RWPC – we couldn’t do it without you! 🌹🥂

Groovin' Summer Movies continues this Friday, July 3, with "Sing" (2016)! Start the holiday weekend off right by heading over to Food Truck Friday (kicks off at 5 PM) for karaoke and easy dinner plans at Carousel Village, and then make your way to the Boathouse Lawn for the movie, starting at sundown!

We're in for a week of hot weather, which means there's no better time to be outside than later in the evening when the temps drop – but it doesn't hurt to bring your own water and bug spray!

Special thanks to @pvdfilmfestival for making Movies in the Park possible, with support from @providencetourism and @@pvdparks, and to @pvd_foodtruckevents  and @rwpzoo for hosting Food Truck Friday at Carousel Village!
Join us for a Partner Peace Walk tomorrow at 12 PM! All are welcome to take a stroll with us and @nonviolenceinstitute to connect, talk, and enjoy the outdoors – meet at the Boathouse at Roger Williams Park. These walks take place every Friday, except for holidays.
