Intentional Vibrations Yoga (IVY)
FIG Program Overview
Flourishing in the Garden is an integrative 7 week garden based program. FIG is a holistic approach to mind~body~land that incorporates permaculture principles, yoga principles(including yogic energetics through the chakra system), yoga shapes and breath work, gardening and nutrition education and is informed by the flourishing index.
We have developed a self-paced training that offers an adaptable program in order to be based on your communities needs. Please see the PARCI calendar for Synchronous training sessions where you can join in community to dive deep into the program components of FIG.​
This training was specifically created with the collaborative efforts of two Virginia Cooperative Extension Agents. While the program falls inline with values and goals of the extension system, this program would work well for any community health educator wanting to support integrative whole person health with a group.
