Find Your Zen
Participants will be painting the hexagons on the Linear Park wall. Paint and brushes will be provided but participants in the yoga sessions must bring their own yoga mats.
'Our goal is to obviously bring entertainment to downtown so one of our ways of doing that is beautifying different areas of downtown to make it beautiful so that people can enjoy them,' Falls said. 'Also, as we paint Linear Park Wall, which is right off Cross Creek Trail, people can go through the Cross Creek Trail and be able to see this was just another point of excavation where people can just enjoy the artwork.'
Even though the event is free, those that wish to participate will still have to register so organizers can plan to accommodate participants and keep the event safe and socially distanced. Masks will be required.
