Join Yoga Sanctuary, a nonprofit studio on the east side of Lake Harriet, for a meditative and reflective guided yoga practice on the lawn by the new Welcome Center at Lakewood. Every Sunday throughout the summer, teachers will lead a holistic, mindful yoga practice.
All people—brand new and experienced yoga practitioners—will enjoy this energy balancing practice promoting strength, flexibility, balance and clarity in this beautiful and inspiring venue. We will use mindful movement and guided breathing techniques to help settle our thoughts, flowing and holding postures to support the physical body, and rest to connect with the soul. Modifications to ease or intensify poses will be sprinkled throughout the class.
We welcome all to join us for this weekly offering, to hold space for ourselves to reflect on the week before, be present in the moment, and provide a relaxing start to the week.
What to Bring:
- Yoga mat
- Water bottle
- (Optional) Sunscreen
- (Optional) A sheet to put under your yoga mat
