Yoga in the Gardens

Coconut Telegraph

Start your week off right by treating yourself to a peaceful mind/body Yoga experience in the beautiful Marie Selby Botanical Gardens setting February 8, 15 and 22 from 9-10am.  Practicing yoga in an outdoor setting is a unique experience thanks to sense of calm and well-being offered by the plants, sunshine and wind in the leaves. In fact, there is quite a bit of science to support the health benefits of doing yoga outdoors. Research shows that time spent in nature (Japanese refer to it as “forest bathing”) improves mental cognition, improves immune function and lowers blood pressure. Translated, “yoga” means union and yoga at Selby is the perfect mix of uniting people with nature.  Classes are for  beginners as well as advanced students and all those who want to enjoy peace of mind and serenity by practicing this mindfulness technique in the great outdoors.
