Winter Wellness Workshop

Magazzino Italian Art Foundation and Ascend Yoga Studio in Cold Spring partnered to present an afternoon of yoga, art, and self-restoration as part of Magazzino’s annual Winter Wellness Workshop. Led by yoga therapist, teacher, and author Jillian Pransky, participants were revitalized by this winter renewal yoga practice that artfully wove together mindfulness with slow-flow vinyasa and deep relaxation, and emphasized internal observation and rhythmic breathing. The program took place in Magazzino’s galleries, offering participants a tranquil and inspiring space to relax their mind and body.
