City of Stratford Brings Yoga Back to Tom Patterson Theatre

The City of Stratford will host a special 6-week yoga program at the Tom Patterson Theatre, on Monday mornings, starting November 6.

The yoga class will be presented in the Dinner Rooney Workshop, a large activity room just off the main lobby of the theatre with 220-degree views of the Avon River and parks system.

“Due to the popularity of last year’s inaugural yoga program at the theatre, we are thrilled to return to the Tom Patterson Theatre,” said Brad Hernden, the City’s supervisor of recreation services. “We are grateful for the good relationship we have with the leadership team of the Stratford Festival, and for their continued support in our desire to bring adult recreation programming into the Theatre space in the off-season.”

The program will be led by certified yoga instructor Becca Barras, who has delivered several successful yoga classes at the Stratford Agriplex and has been practicing yoga for over 20 years.

Open to all yogis, beginner and beyond, regardless of age and ability, Becca will encourage, provide support, and deliver feel-good stretches over the hour vinyasa-style sessions. Yoga allows participants to connect to their bodies through mindful movement. Strength and flexibility will be practised, on and off the mat.

Three Vinyasa (“Flow”) classes will be offered: Level 1 from 9 – 10 a.m. and 10:15 – 11:15 a.m. and Level 2 from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

To attend this special program, pre-registration is required. For more information, visit www.stratford.ca/active35
