Fitness advocates Natalie Smith and Emily Schmidt are offering a combined Zumba and Yoga event at 9 a.m. Friday, July 9 at the Ashley Pond Pavilion.

Smith and Schmidt share a love of fitness and wellness through movement, and an even greater love of sharing their wellness passion with others.

“We are so excited to combine our expressions of movement in a shared event,” Schmidt said. “Natalie will kick off our morning by leading us though a 45-minute Zumba session. We will open our heart and awaken our souls through dance.

“Emily will follow up with her love of yoga,” Smith said. “We’ll then find bliss and peace through a shared yoga practice. No previous experience needed, all ages and abilities are welcome! Please bring your own yoga mat or towel, and a water bottle.”
