Yoga, meditation by the falls on summer weekends

Niagara Parks expands wellness series schedule

-

There’s no better way to connect with nature than by spending a little time in it — and the Niagara Parks wellness series offers up the opportunit­y to reset while doing just that.

Namaste Niagara returns this summer with an expanded schedule, offering people the opportunit­y to take part in an incredibly unique yoga class or an extremely serene setting for guided meditation.

The yoga class, set on the lower platform of Journey Behind the Falls, will include an early morning restorativ­e yoga practice by instructio­ns from In Fine Feather Yoga set against the backdrop of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls, with its thunder as the soundtrack.

People wanting to slow down may be interested in the guided meditation sessions at White Water Walk, where participan­ts will focus on their breathing while enjoying the early morning access and boardwalk views along the white water rapids. The mindful meditation session will be led by Swapna Krishnamoo­rthy.

Both activities will include brunch at one of Niagara Parks’ Feast On certified restaurant­s along Niagara Parkway.

“In addition to health, wellness and spiritual benefits, our Namaste Niagara events provide opportunit­ies for both local residents and visitors to see Niagara Parks through a different lens and experience locations they may have been to before, in a completely new and exciting way,” said Niagara Parks chief executive officer David Adames.
