Winter Solstice Lakeside Yoga

Yoga in the Gardens

Sunday, December 21, 2025

10:00 AM - 11:00 AM

Instructor: Joyce Bowers

The winter solstice signifies the longest night of the year and the shortest day. With the holiday season here and fatigue and stress all around us, perhaps it's time to pause and take care of yourself with a relaxing gentle calming yoga in the gardens. Release the anxiety and stresses of the holidays in the gardens with a peaceful setting overlooking our lake.

Self-care Sunday is a dedicated day to prioritize your mental, physical, and emotional well-being to rest and recharge for the upcoming week.

Registration includes admission to the beautiful Gardens before or after class.

Space is limited to 10 students

Joyce Bowers: Has studied yoga with many yoga professionals since 2007. She began practicing yoga as a necessity to help reduce stress and relieve extreme back pain.

Joyce's Journey:

I “worked out” regularly but finally in 2007 my back “went out”. I could no longer walk fully upright, I could not work out, I could barely sleep and work. I lost weight from the pain; it was a depressing time. I met with several doctors, all recommended surgery. Then I met a doctor, who suggested that I consider acupuncture and Yoga. He explained how my disk herniations could be a result of my stress and lifestyle. After finding an amazing yoga teacher and following a regiment of acupuncture, I was able to resume all of my activities. It was a long but amazing journey. I promised myself once I retired I would become a yoga teacher, and share my experience with others to help them live healthier, better lives. I tell you this story to let you know anyone can practice yoga at anytime in their life.
