ROGERSVILLE-Are you interested in starting your day in a positive way? Experience a nature hike while enjoying the beauty that is Joe Wheeler State Park.
Join Park Naturalist Sam Woodroof and yoga instructor Allison Ruff for a morning hike through our Champion Trail (1 mile) with a relaxing yoga cool down that follows at the Marina (if it is too cold, yoga will be done indoors) on January 15 at 9:00Am. You get the light cardio and strength-building that hiking offers, the toning, flexibility, and relaxation that yoga offers, and the powerful connection to Mother Nature that being outdoors offers.
