This program is a partnership with the Park Avenue Community Center to promote health and wellness throughout our community.
Celebrate the summer solstice with an evening of tranquility and renewal in the Scott Outdoor Amphitheater. As the golden hues of sunset wash over the open sky, join us for a gentle yoga flow designed to awaken your senses and align your body with the rhythm of the season.
Following the movement practice, surrender to the soothing vibrations of a live sound bath, featuring crystal singing bowls, gongs, and chimes. Let the harmonious tones guide you into deep relaxation as you soak in the natural beauty of the amphitheater.
Come as you are, bring a mat or blanket, and embrace the magic of summer’s arrival in this serene, open-air setting.
