Yoga in the Gardens Terms & Conditions
Registration
Registration is required by 12:00pm the day before each class. Each participant must reserve their own space.
Rain Policy
We may cancel the class if there is a high probability of inclement weather forecasted during or before each session.
If we decide to cancel a class, an alert will be placed on the top of our website. We will also make an effort to notify participants by email. Please add efranchy@cranbrook.edu and houseandgardens@cranbrook.edu to your contact lists.
In most cases, participants will be contacted at least two hours before class begins, if not the day before.

Participants will receive a full refund if class is canceled by Cranbrook due to inclement weather or other reasons.
Classes are otherwise non-refundable.
Proceeds from events like these are essential to preserving and maintaining Cranbrook House & Gardens. Thank you for supporting our general operations by registering for Yoga in the Gardens.
Instruction Led by Citizen Yoga
Class is taught by instructors who have completed Citizen Yoga’s 200-hour RYT, a Yoga Alliance-certified program. Yoga instructors may change from class to class.
Class Type
Classes are generally Citizen Yoga’s Citizen Standard.
Citizen Standard is a class that educates on all the essentials to ensure a safe, aligned yoga practice. This is a perfectly balanced class for both the seasoned and newer practitioner. In the class, you will learn about breath, foot placement, standing poses, rotation of the legs, health of the pelvis, and foundational elements of the practice. It is a great experience, as well as educational resource.
Instructors may adjust the practice based on the experience level of the participants at each class.
What should I bring to class?
Participants should bring their own yoga mat/towel (grass may be damp, consider bringing an extra towel), and a water bottle.
Athletic attire is recommended.
Class Location
Class will take place outside at Cranbrook Gardens. For the 2023 season, classes are scheduled to take place by the Reflecting Pool. This is a sunny expanse of lawn complemented by two water features and beautiful flower beds on the west side of Cranbrook House. Please note that terrain may be uneven.
