Enjoy a free day of yoga classes on Monday, Sept. 5, courtesy of a group of Austin area organizers. The classes will take place at yoga and dance studios, hospitals, parks, churches and fitness centers throughout the greater metro area. Organizers suggest that participants use the free day of yoga to try classes, meet instructors and experience a variety of styles of yoga. They say the benefits of practicing yoga include increasing flexibility and strength, improving balance, and relieving stress. “Because we offer such a wide variety of yoga teachers, styles and classes on Free Day of Yoga, there is a class for everyone,” says Mary Ester, organizer. Plan to arrive early and be prepared to remove your shoes. Bring your own yoga mat and wear loose, comfortable clothing. For more information about schedule and locations, visit freedayofyoga.com.
