9Health Fair Yoga Open

Last weekend we checked out the 9Health Fair Yoga Open. In addition to the usual health screenings, a variety of free yoga classes were offered by a local studios. We decided to check out QiFlow, a class which combines yoga, dance, vinyasa, and even martial arts. The class was 30 minutes, and we were given a brief introduction of what we could expect should we decide to visit for a full version. The instructor, Dawnelle Arthur, did a great job of guiding us through it given the loud music from another vendor and it being hard to hear with the acoustics of the open space. We liked how she focused on resetting the spine and the stretches she did were unlike a traditional yoga class. Afterward we felt lengthened, energized, and intrigued to try a class at her studio.

Wrapped around the open spaces for yoga were numerous tables filled with various health organizations offering important and insightful information.We stopped by to talk to a few. Check out their links, and more, below.
