Community Garden Spotlight: Maggie's Garden

We are thrilled to shine a light on Maggie's Garden, the beautiful and serene location for the inaugural season of Empower Your Well-being Chair Yoga and Meditation sessions!


From the moment we held our first session on Tuesday, September 23, Maggie's Garden offered a nurturing outdoor sanctuary that perfectly amplified our mission of accessible well-being. It quickly became a cherished space for our community to connect, breathe, and move mindfully with our wonderful Partner Guide, Lalita.

About Maggie's Garden

Maggie's Garden is more than just a beautiful space—it's a vital part of the New York City green landscape. We are proud to share this space is owned by the New York Restoration Project (NYRP), an organization dedicated to transforming open space in underserved communities.

The garden is also recognized as a NYC Parks Department GreenThumb designated community garden, highlighting its importance as a cherished neighborhood resource.

A Season of Growth and Gratitude

Throughout September, we gathered for sessions on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, embracing the gentle rhythm of the changing seasons together. These sessions were moments of collective calm and shared strength.

We extend our deepest, most heartfelt thanks to the dedicated Garden Leaders—Emory, Katherine, N'Zinga, and Camille—for their incredible alliance and unwavering support. Your commitment made this collaboration flourish. A special shout-out also goes to Member Emmaline, whose presence and enthusiasm added so much to our community gatherings.


Continuing Our Practice Indoors

While our last outdoor session at Maggie’s Garden for the 2025 season is on Saturday, October 18, the well-being sessions are not stopping!

To continue offering you a consistent space for practice through the rest of the season, we have moved indoors to our Community & Business Alliance Ally, KBL Studios.
