Guests will experience the connection between nature and wellness under the majestic and centuries-old Angel Oak tree at this unique event. Popular Johns Island yoga studio Everybody Zen will lead the group, incorporating a blend of breath and movement into the rejuvenating, hour-long session. Beginners are welcome to attend as modifications for more complex poses will be demonstrated.
Yoga at the Angel Oak is the final experience of MUSC and SC7's Adventure Out initiative. The week-long event series aims to encourage outdoor recreation. Exercising outdoors has many additional benefits to traditional indoor fitness activities, including improved stress management, self-esteem and mood, and a sense of well-being. The Yoga at the Angel Oak experience will bring together nature, conservation, mind, and body.
In partnership with the City of Charleston, Lowcountry Land Trust announced in January of 2023 the next steps for planning and creating Angel Oak Preserve. Unrivaled in its features and accessibility, the 44-acre public space will feature boardwalk trails, a nature play area for children, and educational information about the tree and native people that have held the Angel Oak sacred. Charleston residents celebrate the magnetic draw of the enormous tree in the heart of Johns Island – and the partners are working to highlight this beloved local landmark symbolizing history, honor, and hope.
The free Yoga at the Angel Oak event will allow locals to experience a sample of programming offered at the future preserve. Lowcountry Land Trust's Angel Oak Preserve Director, Samantha Siegel, will also be in attendance to answer any questions patrons may have about the much-anticipated project.
