Kingsport offers Yoga for Moms class

The Kingsport Parks and Recreation Department is pleased to announce a new yoga class for the community – Yoga for Moms.

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 Yoga for Moms class will take place every Tuesday from September 5 through October 10 at the V.O. Dobbins, Sr. Complex. The hour-long classes start at 1:30 p.m. and cost $5 per class.

This women’s health yoga class features poses that challenge moms to build strength and flexibility while also developing their pelvic floor, core, balance and coordination. This exercise science based class also includes a short restorative section focusing on diaphragmatic breathing.

The class is designed for participants of all levels and modifications will be offered as needed. There will be a limited number of mats available so feel free to bring your own.
