Experience a welcoming, community-focused yoga class at Craighead Forest Park that explores yoga beyond the usual poses. The group meets near the Jerry Bookout Memorial Playground, and a yard sign will mark the spot. Parking and a bathroom are close by. The first 30 minutes are seated, so anyone who finds the ground uncomfortable can bring an extra towel or blanket, a firm pillow, or a block to elevate the hips, or use a foldable chair that will not be part of the active practice for safety. Bring a yoga mat, towel or blanket, water, and wear clothing that allows easy movement. Classes are held if the weather allows. This is a free event, and donations are welcome. Contributions support the American Indian Center of Arkansas, the Surya-Chandra Foundation, and shared yoga accessories such as mats and blocks for use in live classes with Dee, while also helping honor Indigenous communities in Arkansas, empower women and children in India, and expand access to yoga locally.
