It was a beautiful Saturday morning early in September where some of my favorite things all came together - Yoga, Bicycling, Kayaking, and Water. The event was the 5th annual fundraiser Yoga on the Trail in celebration of International Yoga Day.

The event was to support the Greenways www.ozarkgreenways.org. The location was the historic James River Bridge on Galloway Creek Trail south of Springfield, Missouri. Sponsors were Larson Law, DynamicBody, The BodySmith, and Sun Stone Yoga.
 The Old Iron Bridge 
Ozark Greenways is basically in Springfield, Missouri but now includes the recently completed Frisco Highline Trail which is 35 miles connecting Springfield to Bolivar which begins 30 miles from my home.
    The serene James River is gently stirred by the first of many kayaks approaching the bridge 
Kayaker
 One of several Yoga Instructors 
I was one of the first to arrive as I had a long way to travel from home and wanted to be sure to find this remote location. A couple of the instructors were setting up and I helped them clean off the concrete. As the participants arrived, I got to meet some very friendly people.
 The camaraderie was uplifting!  Child Pose  Modified Plank Pose  There's always room for cyclists! It was fun to watch and hear them whoosh by while doing yoga. 
This awesome chalk drawing of Positive Symbols was on the bridge before anyone arrived and must have been done the night before. No one knows who did it. What a beautiful gesture! It was one of those days. I hope to come back year after year!
