Practice yoga in a serene art garden
Community Yoga has offered classes in east Pasco for over a decade. The studio recently relocated to Cindy Siefert’s Art Garden in the quiet community of Saint Joseph, just west of Dade City. Cindy’s Siefert’s Art Garden is a certified wildlife sanctuary and butterfly hatchery. In this beautiful country setting, Community Yoga students practice in the air-conditioned Events Center. The Garden also features a butterfly house, Caterpillar Cafe, Nature Center, a nursery that specializes in butterfly plants with a wide variety of both native and non- native pesticide free plants, Gift Shop, and an Art Studio. As a wedding venue, the Art Garden offers a wide variety of landscapes, including a koi pond, and many shady spots beneath magnificent oaks.
The Art Garden is a perfect venue for practicing yoga. The surroundings complement JJ Caudle’s (Community Yoga founder and Chief Instructor) philosophy of “bring yourself to the present and bring yourself to yoga.” JJ grew up in Japan and Washington, DC. Her Japanese roots and background bring a unique eastern aesthetic to her teaching style. It brings her joy when students leave her classes feeling peaceful and refreshed, and the setting is the perfect conduit for that inner peace and restoration.
