What
more peaceful, healing way to kick off the summer season Wave
Hill-style than with a free session of Hatha Yoga? Plein-air Tai
Chi and Yoga are hallmarks of wellness at this public garden and
cultural center, and express so appropriately our mission—helping people
connect to nature. Come experience it yourself—and coffee on the
terrace overlooking the gardens and the majestic Hudson
River, and a garden stroll, a walk through photographer Gregory
Crewdson’s arresting firefly images in Glyndor Gallery and a browse
through The Shop…You get the idea. Just breathe…We’ll help.
