International Yoga Day · 21 Jun 2025

We began before the city woke up. Mats poolside, the water glass-calm and warm. A certified instructor led forty-five minutes on land first — then, slowly, into the pool.

Aqua yoga does something mat yoga cannot. The water holds you and challenges you in the same breath. A pose you’ve never managed on land suddenly becomes possible. One you think you’ve mastered becomes a completely different thing. The pool turns the practice inside out — in the best way.

Teenagers and seniors were in the same pool that morning, doing the same practice. One image stayed: a grandfather, knee-deep, eyes closed, arms wide — perfectly still. That was the whole story.

We’ve run these sessions monthly ever since. Some mornings earn their permanence.
