Outdoor Morning Yoga
Join us for a relaxing Saturday morning with your fellow Ole Miss employees outside flowing at the South Campus Recreation Center’s Outdoor Turf! Similar to Vinyasa flow, you will connect the breath with fundamental poses, building heat and increasing endurance, strength and flexibility. Whether it is flowing through sun salutations or lying still in shavasana, you will leave this class feeling inspired and rejuvenated. A 45 minute class, great for yogis of all levels.
