Yoga at the Gardens

Sundays from 12:00pm to 1:00pm
May 5 through September 29, 2024
on the MCBG Event Lawn

Join certified yoga instructor Delphine Davidson for All-Levels Mindful Flow Yoga encircled by towering cypress and the melodies of nature... the birds, the bees, and the mighty ocean. All levels are welcome in this class, which combines Delphine's in-depth knowledge of safe alignment with dynamic movement. Mindful Yoga combines creative sequencing with Delphine's love of classical yoga. You’ll find restorative moments and snapshots of sculpting intensity. This 60-minute class aims to support you in slowing down, tuning into your intuition, cultivating physical health and psychological well-being using postures (asanas) and breathing techniques (pranayama) with the goal of developing a grounded, focused, and peaceful mind.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR


Delphine has been teaching yoga since 2002 throughout the country. She focuses on the deliberate deconstruction of each pose to make a mindful and lively practice available to students of all levels. You will be invited to go deeper into your individual practice along with consistent gentle reminders to follow the breath and the bodies’ natural flow and the truth of a healing path. In her class, you will find words of encouragement and you will notice her true passion for moving beyond entanglement, obstacles and for finding that delicate balance between effort and effortlessness by listening deeply to one's overarching truth. Delphine’s Yoga isn’t about pushing or striving, it is an experience that encourages the process of empowering individuals by increasing self-awareness and learning how to work within one’s own strengths and limitations.
