Kingsport offering Midday Mat Flow Yoga classes

Yoga is an ancient practice that brings the mind and body together through stretching, breathing and meditation. Yoga can improve your mental health and balance, reduce stress and anxiety and is beneficial to your overall well-being.

The Kingsport Parks and Recreation Department is offering a new yoga course next month aimed at folks who are looking for a less-intense class to take during the middle of the day.

Midday Mat Flow yoga classes will be held every Wednesday at noon at the V.O. Dobbins, Sr. Complex from January 7 through February 4. The hour-long classes are for participants ages 16 and older.

“The program is aimed at working folks who may want to take a yoga class during their lunch break and not have to worry about being too sweaty after class,” said Program Coordinator Renee Ensor. “So, we’re trying something new. The yoga will be less intense and involve more stretching than anything else.”

The cost of the program is $25 for city residents and $30 for non-city residents. There will be a limited number of mats available so feel free to bring your own.
