Breathe deeply, stretch fully, and ground yourself in a practice rooted in history, nature, and mindful movement. Yoga at the Springs is an all-level outdoor yoga experience set on the storied grounds of Historic Yellow Springs, where centuries of healing, community, and creativity are woven into the land.

Each class will meet at the Barn before beginning a gentle walk to a thoughtfully chosen location on the grounds. Along the way you’ll learn about the history of the specific site where we’ll practice that day. From the remains of the historic hospital to the medicinal garden, to the natural springs that gave Yellow Springs its name, each setting offers a unique backdrop and a deeper sense of connection to place.

The yoga practice itself is designed to be accessible and grounding, allowing movement and breath to be informed by the environment around us. With changing locations throughout the season, no two classes are exactly the same.

In the event of rain or extreme weather, sessions will be held indoors.

Please bring your own mat, water bottle, and anything else you need for a comfortable outdoor experience. No prior yoga experience is necessary—just a willingness to move, breathe, and experience this historic landscape in a new way.

Begin indoors with a brief look at the powerful history of the Yellow Springs hospital ruins (built between 1777–1780) as the only purpose-built hospital commissioned by the Continental Congress and once headquarters of the Revolutionary War’s medical department. After learning about the site’s layered past, we’ll move outdoors to sketch the existing foundation and surrounding medicinal garden.

Students will then incorporate a “ghost image” or translucent overlay of the original structure, exploring perspective and architectural drawing techniques while visually reconstructing history. Participants may work in dry or water-based media and are encouraged to bring a sketchbook and outdoor seating. This workshop blends observation, imagination, and storytelling through art.

Recommended Materials: Participants are encouraged to bring preferred sketching supplies. The following materials are suggested options; feel free to select what best suits your working style. Blick Shopping List

Students in Magic of Abstraction will learn to experiment with concepts and ideas relating to color, depth, perception and space. Working with your medium of choice, participants will learn to break down elements of abstraction including composition and rhythm, texture, movement, and balance. 

Students may be encouraged to work outside of their comfort zone at times, or experiment freely with new techniques with the intention of broadening knowledge of the materials (increased familiarity with various mediums can provide for more spontaneity and freedom when painting abstractly). From the Bauhaus to Basquiat, and from minimalism to surrealism, participants will review and analyze abstraction throughout history and begin to understand the choices and reasons behind painting “outside of the lines.”
