The one-hour lesson happens all through summer on Tuesdays and Saturdays at 9 a.m. And it’s complimentary (all you have to remember is to bring your own mat and water). Then: inhale, exhale, and find your flow: Warrior 1 (virabhadrasana 1); Extended Side angle pose (utthita parsvakonasana); Chair pose (utkatasana); Boat pose (Navasana); Pigeon pose (eka pada rajakapotasana); it’s a good mix of twists, core, standing, and balance poses.

LOCAL'S TIP: Since the yoga classes begin at 9 a.m., early-bird hikers can hit the trails at Bald Mountain first, returning in time to secure a spot in the yoga class (arrive early, Yoga at River Run is popular and fills up fast).
