Yoga Enthusiasts Invited to Community Yoga Practice Under the Spire of the Arch

Yoga enthusiasts from across the region are invited to gather under the spire of the Gateway Arch on Sunday, Sept. 15, 2013, at 9:30 a.m. for the fourth annual Yoga Within the Confluence. This year’s event gives participants the opportunity to share the benefits of yoga while overlooking the mighty Mississippi River beneath St. Louis’ most iconic monument.

“Yoga Within the Confluence is free and open to all,” said Sally Cohn, one of the event coordinators. “We welcome everyone—from lifelong yoga practitioners to beginners. It is a wonderful introduction to the practice of yoga while enjoying the beauty of the Arch grounds amidst a lively, supportive community.”

Renowned yoga teacher Saul David Raye will guide the event and will be accompanied by acclaimed New Orleans musicians Sean Johnson and the Wild Lotus Band. Yoga Within the Confluence will begin promptly at 9:30 a.m. and last until 11:30 a.m.
