One of the instructors behind the event, Mike McConnell, said his goal is to make yoga more accessible in Pine Hills, with a long-term goal of reaching other underserved communities.

“Yoga has been so transformative for me. As an instructor, as a kid who grew up in Pine Hills and as an Evans High School alum, I desire to see more students and instructors in classes that look like my family and look like my friends,” McConnell said.

“My goal is to create a fun and safe space where people can freely explore the benefits of yoga, and hopefully inspire them to further pursue a practice of their own,” he said.

McConnell said a friend actually told him about yoga and how it could help him with an old knee injury from running.

“One class in, and I was hooked,” McConnell said.
