Vernon hosts yoga program

VERNON — July 6 marked Vernon Township Recreation's first Yoga in the Park session on the Great Lawn at Maple Grange Park.

Beth Carabello of Vernon instructed the 8-week program officially titled Fitness Yoga, under the township's clouds and landscape. Registrants left class feeling refreshed, more balanced and relaxed.

"Everyone loved it, and got more friends to sign up," Vernon Recreation Director Missi Wiedbrauk said. "By the third or fourth week, we had 90 participants registered. The roster included both residents and non-residents, with ages ranging from 16 to 71. Beth did an amazing job instructing, and we look forward to running the program again.
