A complimentary Saturday class among the sculptures: when it runs, what kind of yoga it is, and what to bring.
Yoga in the Garden is a complimentary weekly outdoor yoga class in the Lake Nona Sculpture Garden, outside the Lake Nona Wave Hotel. It is held every Saturday from 8 to 9 AM. The class is power yoga, led by a Lake Nona Performance Club instructor. Mats are provided, and the class is free for all to attend. It is the earliest of Lake Nona's free Saturday yoga classes, an hour before Yoga Nona at Crescent Park.
Yoga in the Garden puts a free Saturday yoga class among the sculptures outside the Lake Nona Wave Hotel. It starts at 8, it lasts an hour, and the mats are provided, so all you need is to show up.
It is also a different class from the other free yoga in Lake Nona. The listings describe it as power yoga, led by an instructor from the Lake Nona Performance Club, which makes it the most workout-focused of the community's free sessions.

When is Yoga in the Garden?
Yoga in the Garden is held every Saturday morning from 8 to 9 AM.
An 8 AM start beats most of the day's heat, which matters for an outdoor class in Central Florida. If rain is in the forecast, check the Lake Nona events calendar before heading over.
What kind of yoga is Yoga in the Garden?
Yoga in the Garden is a power yoga class, which is more active and athletic than a gentle or restorative session.
Expect a class that moves and builds heat rather than one centered on long holds and stretching. If you want an easier pace, Yoga Nona at Crescent Park is a comfortably paced all-levels class, and it starts an hour later on the same morning.
Is Yoga in the Garden free?
Yes. Yoga in the Garden is complimentary and free for all to attend, whether or not you are a hotel guest or Performance Club member.
There is no listed registration. Hotel guests also get complimentary access to the Performance Club itself, but the garden class is open to everyone.
What should you bring to Yoga in the Garden?
Mats are provided, so bring water, a towel and clothes you can move in.
Sunscreen is worth packing for an outdoor morning class. Because the mats are supplied, this is the easiest of Lake Nona's free yoga sessions to try on short notice.
Pros, Cons and Our Take
Pros
- Free for everyone, with mats provided.
- A sculpture-garden setting you won't find at a studio.
- Led by a Performance Club instructor.
- An early start that avoids the worst of the heat.
Cons
- Power yoga is more demanding than the community's other free classes.
- Outdoors, so rain and summer heat are factors.
- Once a week, at 8 AM on a Saturday.
- A drop-in class, not a structured program with progression.
Our Take
Yoga in the Garden is the free class to pick if you want an actual workout: power yoga, an 8 AM start and an outdoor sculpture-garden setting. Newer students may prefer to start with Yoga Nona and move up; everyone else can just bring water and show up.
