Experience a gentle, restorative outdoor yoga class in the heart of Thornton Park at Kaleidoscope Thornton Park. This beginner friendly, all-levels session centers on breath awareness and an intentional flow that blends elements of Hatha and Vinyasa with a touch of intuitive movement. Expect a thoughtful mix of movement, meditation, and brief conversation that explores yoga beyond the poses, offering space to settle the nervous system, release tension, and reconnect with personal strength. After practice, enjoy a complimentary cup of herbal tea and unhurried time to connect with fellow participants. Free street parking is available. Please bring your own yoga mat, and feel free to use blocks or other supportive props if they help your practice. The class is led by Janie Seecharan, RYT and holistic guide. Pricing options include a $15 early bird rate, a $22 drop-in rate with in-person payment via cash, Zelle, or Venmo, and a five-class pack for $60 that must be used within 45 days. Attendees also receive 10% off their bill at Kaleidoscope.
