Yoga in the Garden


Enjoy the peaceful environment of the Gardens at Tudor Place while you close your eyes, stretch your muscles, and inhale deeply.

Each class is guided through basic yoga postures that invigorate the body with increased strength, flexibility, and range of motion, while calming the mind and opening the heart. All levels welcome.
