Yoga in the Gardens

A certified yoga instructor leads this outdoor vinyasa flow class among the tropical plantings at the downtown campus of Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. The session takes place on the lawns near the Sarasota Bay waterfront, utilizing the shade provided by the property’s expansive banyan trees and bamboo groves. The practice focuses on breathwork, alignment, and mindful movement, catering to a range of skill levels by offering modifications for complex poses. Participants bring their own mats and water, laying out their spaces on the grass before the session begins. The morning routine incorporates the ambient sounds of the nearby estuary and garden wildlife.
