Welcome Spring with Yoga in the Park. Breathe in the fresh air and connect with nature as we celebrate the change of the seasons with an outdoor yoga class in beautiful Ward Park, located just behind the Center for Health & Wellbeing.
Under the careful guidance of Crosby Wellness Center yoga instructors Katie DeAscanis and Miranda Harris, during class, you will explore various yoga postures (asana) and purposeful breathing (pranayama). All skill levels welcome, and bring a mat if you have one! Don’t forget to bring your own water bottle, too.
This program is presented by Katie DeAscanis and Miranda Harris and is hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation and Crosby Wellness Center.
About the Presenters:
Katie DeAscanis is a Crosby Wellness Center yoga instructor and Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern. After a successful 10-year career in corporate sales and marketing, she took the leap to follow her true passion — creating a space for people to explore themselves and grow in ways that will help them reach their goals. Katie has been teaching yoga since 2018 and she co-led the Crosby Wellness Center’s inaugural Women’s Empowerment Series earlier last year with great success.
Miranda Harris became inspired to learn more about yoga philosophy while traveling across India in 2017. She later enrolled in year-long yoga teacher training with the intention to deepen her personal practice. She quickly found a passion for teaching and went on to complete her 500 hour yoga teacher training at Warrior One in Orlando, FL. Miranda utilizes mindfulness and purposeful movement to creatively and carefully guide students into their bodies. Above all, she believes yoga should be accessible to all humans. She incorporates modifications and props in her teachings to safely challenge and inspire students. Miranda is currently pursuing a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling at Rollins College.
