The mission statement of the Bayard Cutting Arboretum is to “Provide an oasis of quiet beauty for the pleasure, rest, and refreshment of those who delight in outdoor beauty”.

In partnership with Think-Wellness NY, a licensed Yoga Instructor will guide participants through a 30-minute nature-based mindfulness lesson and 60 minutes of yoga that aim to foster a deeper personal understanding of the Arboretum’s mission statement.

Tea, light refreshments and yoga mats will be provided. Participants are welcome to bring their own mat if they prefer, a journal for reflection, and dress in clothing that is comfortable to move their body in. This is a gentle beginner-style yoga class welcome to all skill levels.

Outcomes

• Experience various modalities of mindfulness with the guidance of a practitioner.
• Learn therapeutic tools and techniques that can be practiced at home.
• Foster a deeper sense of inner peace and connection to the natural environment.
