Free Summer Yoga



Led by Kimberly Russell
In these twice weekly classes open to all levels, participants will explore the connections between body, breath and the mind through a series of poses and breathing exercises geared toward developing inner and outer strength, flexibility and concentration.

No previous experience is required; simply begin with an open mind and a willingness to explore.

Where: The Inner Resilience Program training space, located at 40 EXCHANGE PLACE, SUITE 1101 (Between William and Broad Streets).
