Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens to host summer yoga classes

SAVANNAH, GA – Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens will host yoga classes for children and adults this summer at 2 Canebrake Road, Savannah, GA 31419. Classes will be held on the garden terrace from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Adult classes are slated for Tuesdays and Thursdays from June 18 to July 9 and children’s classes are scheduled for Wednesdays and Fridays from June 17 through July 10.

Classes are $20 and will be led by Paola Ronchetti, who has over a decade of yoga experience and has been sharing yoga with Savannah for the past two years.

Yoga for Kids classes are designed for children four and up, with the aim of inspiring children to move, breathe, play and grow through fun yoga poses, mindfulness, games, and nature-based activities in a welcoming and joyful environment.

Mindful Yoga for Adults classes aim to help participants unwind and recharge while surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. These classes will be a combination of mindful movement, stretching, and relaxation techniques to help teach the body and mind to reduce stress, improve flexibility, and promote overall well-being.

Paola Ronchetti is a Brazilian yoga instructor. Her teaching helps participants experience balance and transformation both on and off the mat.

“Combining healthy movement of the body with nature is vital not only for the body, but also for the soul,” said Coastal Botanical Garden Director, Elise Zador. “Paola is an incredibly talented instructor, with so many years of experience. Combining that knowledge while experiencing the natural beauty of Coastal Georgia Botanical Garden creates a uniquely restorative experience.”

The Coastal Georgia Botanical Garden operates under the University of Georgia’s College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. Its primary fundraising and volunteer support organization is Friends of Coastal Gardens. Friends of the Coastal Gardens is a non-profit 501c3 organization. Donations help us to provide financial and volunteer support to the Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens at the Historic Bamboo Farm in Savannah, Georgia.
