  • Morning Yoga

    Morning Yoga

    Saturday, May 23 | 9am 

    Join Beth Moore, Folded Leaf yoga instructor, for a 60 minute, breath-based flow to cultivate clarity & focus your day.

    You’ll have a continuous flow class with breath work throughout and less guidance to allow you to lean into your breath. We’ll start with some pranayama to jumpstart the system then get right into a couple progressive flows, ending with a little gentle mobility for the hips. A great session when you need to find your Zen before a day of activity. All levels welcome. Mats and props will be provided if you do not have your own.

    Produced by Folded Leaf Yoga Studio

    Location: Haddad River Front Park, 600 Kanawha Blvd E, Charleston, WV 25301
