The City of Raleigh Human Relations Commission is hosting Yoga in the Park, a health initiative to be held at Nash Square. Other sponsors of the event are the City’s Parks and Recreation Department and the North Carolina School of Yoga/Dharma Yoga Shala in Raleigh.

The goal of Yoga in the Park is to guide participants through basic yoga poses. The benefits of yoga are numerous, event sponsors say. Yoga reduces high blood pressure, stabilizes the heart rate, increases lung capacity, strengthens the immune system and eases tension. The technique has been practiced for thousands of years by cultures in Africa, Asia, India and other parts of the world.
