Many studies cite the importance of being part of the natural world around us. Regardless of the type of activity, whether it's hands-on gardening, digging in the dirt, taking a walk or a hike, camping, or just quietly experiencing nature, it can lower blood pressure, relieve stress, and encourage connections. We are so pleased to partner with the University of Maryland's Department of Recreation & Wellness to offer yoga in the garden as part of their Sizzlin Summer series of events. This series is designed to encourage members of the University's community to be active during the summer months and take advantage of our amazing campus. Yoga classes are taught by Recwell instructors and will take place in the Community Learning Garden's orchard, which is on the front lawn of the Eppley Recreation Center.
