Summer Yoga on the Lawn
Boscobel is offering the rare chance to participate in yoga sessions on the front lawn. Composed of weekly 75-minute evening classes, this is the perfect way to unwind after a busy Monday and prepare for the week while breathing in fresh highland air and admiring gorgeous scenery. Center yourself amidst the beauty of the environment, meet new people and improve your endurance, flexibility and strength. All levels welcome. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own mats, water and props (if needed). Because this event takes place in the great outdoors, please dress appropriately and comfortably, as you will be holding various yoga poses.
