Yoga in the morning with Free Akron Yoga

Start your morning at Art in the Square the right way by joining Nancy Holland Myers of Free Akron Yoga for a one-hour workshop in the Highland Square Branch Library at 10 AM. This is open to all ages and skill levels, and is a perfect chance for you to experience yoga for the first time. Expect to chant, move, breathe and relax, together. Wear loose clothes and bring a yoga mat or beach towel.
