Scientific Outreach Activities 2025 at the Marimurtra Botanical Garden
The Carl Faust Foundation, responsible and owner of the Marimurtra Botanical Garden, presents an annual program of scientific dissemination activities. A program that has been created by the Marimurtra technical teams with a double criterion: on the one hand, to make an attractive and interesting proposal to audiences of different technical levels and botanical knowledge, and on the other, to provide coverage to different topics of interest related to the founding aims of the Carl Faust Foundation, which are essentially concern for the environment, science, botany and gardening.

YOGA IN MARIMURTRA
The Marimurtra Botanical Garden hosts yoga sessions with yogi Cristina Ishwari Yoga in this unique natural environment. Yoga is an ancient practice that allows us to achieve a state of inner peace and become aware of our body and mind. The benefits of this ancient practice are well known for relieving both muscular and emotional tension. Doing a yoga session is opening a parenthesis within the busy daily life to give permission for rest and relaxation.
