The November meeting of the Driftwood Garden Club of Marblehead was a fun and enlightening event. The Masonic Hall was magically transformed into a serene space where we were led in a restorative practice by yoga instructor Daphne Ramos. Daphne is trained in yin, vinyasa, and restorative yoga, as well as being a master reiki practitioner. Her gentle voice and soft music guided the class through a series of movements on and off the mat.
After a brief warm-up, our yoga movements stretched and strengthened the many muscles used in gardening. We ended the class in shavasana pose to relax the breath, body and mind.
Kudos to our DGC Program Chairs for booking an event different from our usual garden-themed meetings. This evening was designed for the metaphorical gardener within each of us. Our yoga instructor ended the evening with the quote by Robert Louis Stevenson, “Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant.”
Namaste!
