Minnesota Arboretum

Yin yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga suitable for all people. Postures can be held for 5 minutes or more. Yin targets connective tissues in our bodies to help release emotional and physical trauma. Sound healing is a ancient practice backed by modern scientific research. It uses vibrations to relax the body and mind, raise our consciousness, and heal our planet. This class invites you to relax into yin poses and absorb the sounds of singing bowls, chimes, mantras, harmonium, and, of course, the natural sounds of the Arboretum.

Class location: Sculpture Garden

Relax your mind, body and spirit while embracing the height of the summer season at the Arboretum's 3rd annual Summer Solstice Yoga Retreat. We will start the day off with a light breakfast in the Sensory Garden before breaking into smaller groups for the retreat. As we cycle through four different class rotations throughout the day, every participant will have the ability to select the class that's right for them. From vinyasa and yin classes to acupressure tapping and forest bathing, our Yoga in the Gardens partner studios offer something for everyone! Halfway through the day, we will break for an hour-long lunch break. The retreat will close with a blissful yoga nidra session in the Harrison Sculpture Garden, overlooking the highest viewpoint at the Arboretum. Full and half-day retreat options, as well as a pre-purchased lunch, are available.
