Saturdays in the Summer

Unroll your mat and enjoy the scenery of Elawa Farm’s restored gardens as our Yoga Instructor guides you on an hour-long yoga journey. This class is a blend of many styles of yoga, such as gentle, restorative, power, and vinyasa flow. We'll start off at a slower pace to meditate, breathe, check in with our current state of being, and increase the pace to build heat and let go of energy that no longer serves us. All levels welcomed. Modifications are offered so each human can choose their level of movement needed. The end goal is for your heart to smile, your mind to find peace, and your body to thank you!
