Reconnect with your body and the natural world in this 60-minute practice designed to restore balance, flexibility, and ease. Each session begins with a calming meditation to anchor your awareness in the present moment, helping you move with the grace and resilience of nature.
Using a combination of standing and chair-supported exercises, we’ll explore stretches, mobility flows, and use gentle strengthening to release tension and awaken your natural range of motion.
Each class is guided by a nature-inspired intention—such as stillness, growth, or renewal—encouraging harmony between your inner landscape and the world around you.
All bodies, ages, and experience levels are welcome. Come as you are.
This program meets in person at the Arboretum.
