Free ‘Yoga in the Park’ starts Saturday

ROSEBURG, Ore. – Prepare to get your zen on and celebrate the return of summer with free Yoga in the Park on Saturday mornings starting this weekend.

Roseburg Parks and Recreation -- along with Zen Den Yoga owner Rose Bryant and other instructors -- are sponsoring free Saturday morning yoga sessions in a tranquil riverfront setting in Stewart Park east of the band shell. Yoga sessions will be held every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. from this Saturday, June 17, through Aug. 26.

The classes are suited to all levels of yoga practice. Please arrive a few minutes early to sign in and be ready to start at 10 a.m.

The classes will be taught by Bryant, who has trained as a yoga instructor at Yoga Vermont and in India, and an awesome crew of other local volunteer instructors.

Bring your own yoga mat or blanket and wear stretchy, comfortable clothing. Organizers recommend not eating or drinking for at least one hour before class.

Those who arrive early to sign in will be entered into a Thrive Umpqua-cosponsored drawing held after each class.
