The North & South Rivers Watershed Association presents Yoga at the River's Edge -our 14th year!Saturday Mornings June 19 to September 11, 2010  8:30-10:00 a.m.

Yoga is a delightful way to begin a summer day! It can help reduce stress, increase muscle tone, improve flexibility, and much more. Classes incorporate meditation, gentle stretching, breathing techniques, hatha yoga postures, and guided relaxation, and take place at various scenic outdoor sites along the North and South Rivers. To date, more than 750 people have participated in the Yoga at the River's Edge program. We hope you'll try a class with us this summer.Visit www.nsrwa.orgfor details.

Yoga at the River's Edge was founded in 1997 by Kezia Bacon-Bernstein, a yoga teacher who wanted to combine her enthusiam for yoga with her love of the North & South Rivers. Kezia hoped participants would gain increased awareness and appreciation both of their inner selves and of the rivers, marshes, and streams of the North and South Rivers Watershed.

Yoga at the River's Edge is sponsored by the North and South Rivers Watershed Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation, restoration, maintenance and conservation of the natural resources of the North and South Rivers.  Visit www.nsrwa.org for details.

Donation per class:  $10 per person for NSRWA members $12 non-members.
