Historic Coconut Grove is one of Miami’s most authentic neighborhoods, known for its vibrant artistic community and Bahamian architecture. As the only yoga studio located in the heart of Coconut Grove, Dharma Studio recently announced a series of special events and workshops that offer something for all ages. Not only is Dharma Studio the perfect place to reconnect your mind and body in a tranquil setting, it is also a place to explore one’s artistic side and connect with like-minded others, thanks to their roster of innovative events and workshops.
“Our goal is to create a grassroots sanctuary of sorts,” said owners Natalie Morales and Loree Shrager. “We want to help revitalize Commodore Plaza in the Grove by offering a wide range of classes, family-friendly workshops and special events, so people can connect in the true spirit of community.”
