SUMMARY:Yoga in the Garden
DESCRIPTION:Relax the mind and strengthen the body with an all-levels yoga class and meditation session guided by Christina Fittipoldi in the tranquil setting of the garden. The gentle pace will allow us time to linger in poses and build a deeper connection to the body using our breath.    \nPlease bring a mat\, water bottle\, and any props you may like to use.   \nabout the instructor   \nChristina Fittipoldi’s yoga practice began after the birth of her son. She was immediately drawn to the movement and strength that yoga provided both on and off the mat. Christina started teaching yoga once her son entered elementary school\, and for the past 14 years\, she has guided many students in their yoga journey. Christina offers sequencing that is thoughtful\, meaningful\, and allows for inner exploration while guiding you through safe and responsible movements using body and breath awareness.
