Restorative Yoga Master Class

After you’ve crossed the finish line, give your body the reset it deserves. Join us for a restorative yoga class designed specifically for runners, focused on deep stretching, breathwork, and recovery.

This session will guide you through intentional movement to release tension from the hips, hamstrings, and lower back, while opening the body and nervous system back into balance.

We’ll close with a grounding sound bowl meditation, allowing your breath and heartbeat to return to center as you float into stillness under the sky.

Miles To Go Charities was founded in 2018 by a 9 year old boy who saw a need in his community. His strong desire to help the homeless in a meaningful way led to the creation of Miles To Go bags, filled with intentionally curated essential items. To date, Miles To Go has distributed over 13,000 bags to the homeless here in Central Florida. Join us in supporting this community-focused effort with your participation in our 4th annual 5k Run/Walk Fundraiser.
