Yoga Social recap
Yoga Social recap
In September, SWE hosted a Yoga in the Park event at Forsyth Park in Savannah. Tara Bresnick led attendees through a relaxing sequence under the majestic oak trees. It was a cloudy day, but the rain held off long enough for some down dogs and savasana. Fun and relaxation were had by all!
