Description

Join me at charming Osborne Park in Old Ottawa South for outdoor, socially distanced yoga!

In this class, you will tap into and build on the strength you already have. We will use creative sequences, core work and focused movement to build resilience and improve mobility. Options will be offered to ensure a practice that is challenging for your own energy level. Yoga blocks (or sturdy books) and a yoga strap (or tie or scarf) can be helpful. This practice is good for anyone wanting to cultivate their strength in a mindful way.



Students will be notified by e-mail of rain cancellations 45 minutes to one hour before class start time. The class will be credited back to your account.

This class is open to drop-in bookings only. You can use an Outdoor Drop-in pass ($15) or the 5-Class Park Pass ($65).
