Free yoga at Gray's Lake
What could be better? * yoga * free * Gray's Lake (north side, park by the beach) * Saturday mornings from 9 am to 10 am * 17 weeks beginning June 6 and running through September 26 * a variety of instructors Sponsored by Des Moines Parks and Recreation the sessions are said to be beginner's classes (lucky for me). If you want to try it, wear loose fitting clothes and bring a mat, rug, or towel along with some water. You'll stand; you'll sit; you'll stretch and bend. It is not a competitive sport so you won't have to do anything and you don't have to do it perfectly (very lucky for me).
