CASPER, Wyo — Seasoned yogis and newcomers alike are invited to check out health and wellness vendors and tap into the collective energy of a socially-distanced group yoga class Saturday at the newly-branded Ford Wyoming Center (formerly the Casper Events Center.)

Branded “Get Centered at the Center,” the event will feature a gentle, all-levels “Mindful Movements” class led by Casper instructor Mallory Pollock  at 9:00 am .

The extra space on the Events Center floor will allow for a large amount of yogis to be able to practice together while maintaining distancing guidelines, said Spectra Venue Management. 

Masks will be required with a “Mask to Mat Policy:”

“Participants are required to wear masks into the building until they’ve settled onto their mat, where masks can be removed.  

If participants leave the mat, they are required to have a mask on. 

“Additionally, masks are encouraged to be worn during yoga when possible but not required.”

Participants are asked to bring their own mats, bolsters, towels, and other supplies if possible . A small amount of these items will be available to borrow during the event, with ID collateral.

Doors open at 8:00 am. Vendors will re-open at 10:00 am after the class until 11:00 a.m.

The event is sponsored by WyOMing Yoga and Massage. Admission is $20 in advance and $23 on the day of the event. Tickets are available here at fordwyomingcenter.com. Tickets are limited to maintain social distancing.
