Yoga at the Trop and some Rays Baseball!

What could be better than spending a Sunday afternoon at a Rays baseball game? 

How about starting that day doing yoga on the field before the game begins on your very own Rays yoga mat?
Anyone who knows me understands that I have a serious love for the hometown boys, the Tampa Bay Rays. My son and I attend as many games as possible every season. We have been to quite a few this year already. When the Rays contacted me asking me to help promote Yoga Day at the Trop, I was very happy to oblige. 

What is Yoga at the Trop? 

It's a chance to do a yoga class with a certified instructor on the same field that the Rays will play the White Sox on just a couple of hours later. 

This is so perfect because I decided after doing my first yoga class in a year or so the other day,  that I need to add yoga to my routine. I really struggle with the flexibility. I know that I need to get stretching and work on the core moves that yoga offers. It's a great mix for runners as well. It will be so cool to stretch and do these exercises on the same field where our boys will later, hopefully get a big win! 

My son Bryce will be joining me. He is a little nervous about yoga. He thought it was a "girly" sport. I explained how many professional athletes are seeing the benefits of the practice as well. He is now looking forward to joining me! I think he also may really want the Rays yoga mat! 

So the song Take me Out to the Ball Game now takes on a whole new meaning! What will you do on Sunday, July 7th?

You should join me at Tropicana Field and experience a yoga class on field before the Rays take on the Chicago White Sox. Laura Conley, a local instructor will be teaching the one hour long class. It starts promptly at 10am. 

You don't have to be a great yoga student. Beginners are welcome! (Actually, if you are beginner, you can join me... I am too!)

Anyone who purchases a ticket to this special event will receive a seat in the Lower Reserved section for the 1:40 pm game and a Rays yoga mat for just $35! ($65 value) Make sure you grab your Rays yoga mat at the Rays Redemption Center before you go onto the field to use for the class!
