YOGA
Emily Marcus has been a yoga practitioner since 1997 and will be leading the yoga sessions each morning at the Weston Stage with an easily modified, accessible practice that motivates people for their day, and that works out the kinks from sleeping in tents and campers. She also offers some wrist stretches – for all the pickers. Modifications for the advanced students will also be available. She first took her 200-hour teacher training, and has since completed 700 hours of training in Vinyasa, Power Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Restorative Yoga and is also trained in trauma informed yoga. Emily has attended bluegrass festivals her entire life and understands the challenges of limited sleep due to playing and listening to the late-night jam sessions. Bring your mat and let her help you stretch and relax with the sounds of bluegrass in the background.
