Veterans Day Yoga Hike
Bays Mountain Park hosts Veterans Day Yoga Hike
All proceeds will go towards the Fox Den Playground project
Bays Mountain Park is partnering with a local yoga instructor to offer residents a special Veterans Day Yoga Hike, with all proceeds going to a worthy project.
The hike will take place from 11 a.m. to 12:15 on November 11 (Veterans Day) at Bays Mountain Park. Participants should meet outside the Nature Center.
This hike features a 2-mile, out and back portion of the Lake Road and Azalea Trails that will take approximately 70 minutes to complete, yoga included. The amphitheater and other stops along the way are utilized to teach standing yoga poses that will challenge and develop your strength, flexibility and balance.
The cost is $3 per person and class size is limited to 12 people. All proceeds will go towards the Fox Den Playground project. Wear exercise clothing and bring your own mat and water with a sealable lid. All levels are welcome.

About the City of Kingsport
Founded in 1917, the City of Kingsport (pop. 55,400) is located on the Tennessee-Virginia border at the crossroads of I-81 and I-26 near the geographic center of the eastern U.S. The city is widely known as a planned community, designed by renowned city planner John Nolen and wrapping around the foot of Bays Mountain – a 3,750-acre park, nature preserve, planetarium and observatory. Kingsport is recognized as an International Safe Community by the National Safety Council, a Healthier Tennessee community, and won the 2009 Harvard Innovations in American Government Award for its higher education initiatives. While many city names are duplicated throughout the U.S., there’s only one Kingsport – a fact that invokes community pride, known locally as the “Kingsport Spirit.”
