FREE YOGA IN THE PARK Practicing yoga outdoors adds a different dimension to one’s practice. Yoga means union, and when it is practiced outside, one experiences union with nature, humanity and the universe. Being outside deepens the yoga experience in many ways: it helps one to focus awareness, breathe deeply and practice stillness. Join Inner Connections Yoga & Wellness, Rock Salt Therapy & CommuniTea at The Amphitheater at Philip S. Miller Park for this free community class 9–10 a.m. every Sunday from Aug. 4 to Aug. 25.

YOGA KIDS YOGA This unique program is geared towards kids 6–10 years of age and encourages self-expression as well as improving confidence and coordination. Children will learn how to focus and center themselves with various poses and techniques.

TEEN YOGA The benefits of teen yoga are many. Yoga builds strength, increases flexibility, coordination and balance, builds core stability and improves posture. Yoga helps with mental focus, being present, connecting to emotions and learning to have compassion for the self and for others. Studies have shown that practicing yoga helps decrease stress and anxiety and increases positive moods.
