These special Yoga sessions will focus on gently and lovingly balancing our minds, bodies, & breath. We will explore gentle movement through physical poses, slow flow Vinyasa, stretches, breathing exercises, active rest and guided meditations. This class intends to be an accessible, inclusive, and welcoming space for all bodies and all people wanting to explore different parts of a yoga practice while embracing our connection with the natural world. All of these sessions are weather permitting & held outside in the park so please dress in a way that is comfortable for you and appropriate for the weather of the day.
You are welcome to bring a mat and/or any props (examples- beach towels, books, blocks, blankets, extra layers of clothing, etc.) that best support you.
These sessions are for all people 16 and older. See you in the park!
About the Instructor
Ellary (she/her) (200HR RYT, Restorative Level II, Skill in Action Social Justice Yoga Teacher Training 500HR in progress) has been teaching Yoga since 2014 and wants to create spaces and opportunities where you could emobdy 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. Yoga is the way for her to be in and of service in our community and be an agent for social change. She would love to talk to you about Mudras, horror movies and/or your furry companions anytime!

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! 🌱
Thank you to @ocean_state_ellary for hosting Monday evening gentle yoga sessions these past couple of months, and to everyone who joined us on the lawn outside the Betsey Williams Cottage! As the evenings get cooler, we're ending the season a little early, so we won't be gathering next Monday, September 21. Enjoy the start of autumn! 🍂
Join us this Friday at 10 AM for a Save the Bay cleanup at Roger Williams Park! September means it's International Coastal Cleanup season – you'll be among thousands of participants worldwide collecting and documenting what you pick up to contribute important data on marine (including watershed) debris, while helping beautify your favorite park!

Sign up (link in bio) to be part of the cleanup at the softball fields on September 18!
