I’ve been skiing all winter, and running 4 miles a day, yet as I prepare for the garden season I am building yoga into my routine. Getting ready for endless hours of bending, lifting and digging takes more than just staying active. Stretching and keeping joints flexible helps to also build stamina, which is essential for a gardener who will be in the garden from dawn to dusk.
I will be teaching a garden design class on March 23rd – March 25th at Kripalu Yoga Center in the Berkshires. Participants will learn to design the kitchen garden of their dreams, but will also enjoy yoga classes and be coddled with healthy, organic food.
It’s just a little too early for gardeners in the Northeast to get into their gardens, so join why not join me at Kripalu and get your body ready for the upcoming season. There are a few spots left for my kitchen garden design class which includes a cooking class to build your repertoire of seasonal recipes. Who knows, but a few extra downward dogs and cobra poses built into your daily routine may even inspire you to practice in the garden, and it will definitely build strength for the garden season ahead.
