Join Baltimore-based yoga teacher Emily Fleming (RYT500) for a 60-minute all levels slow flow class here at Juniper Farm, followed by a fun tea blending workshop taught by Sarah Acconcia, owner of Juniper Farm.
 
During yoga practice, you'll be guided through a series of yoga postures and pranayama (breathwork) practices designed to leave you feeling grounded and rejuvenated. Come connect to yourself, your breath, and your surroundings as you practice amidst nature and among community. 
 
We will then be introduced to a variety of medicinal and culinary herbs, followed by instruction on tea blending and an opportunity to create your own herbal tea blends! You will leave with 2 tins of your own custom herbal tea, and the knowledge you need to begin your tea blending practice. 
 
Herbal tea will be available during and after class for you to enjoy (BYO cup). Please bring your own mat and pack for the elements (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, water, a sweater, etc...) as practice takes place outdoors. 
 
There is no ticket for our events - we will check you in by searching your name! Tickets can be transferred, just let us know the name of the person you want to transfer them to. 
 
This workshop will have rain date as there is no indoor option. Tickets are non-refundable, but will be honored in the future if a class cancellation must occur due to weather. Tickets are not refundable if you miss class. If you know that you can no longer make it, please reach out to Juniper Farm and we can work on a solution together.
