Find your center at this 3-Day Yoga in the Park event in Tulsa, presented by Project Roots nonprofit founded by WNBA's Bridget Pettis

TULSA, OK, USA, August 13, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- This 3-Day Yoga event at Chandler Park will be hosted by former WNBA champion and coach Bridget Pettis. Pettis is a certified Yogi and founder of the nonprofit organization, Project Roots. After leaving basketball in 2020 to pursue her life’s passion of feeding the homeless, supporting local farms and teaching those in need the value of growing their own food, Pettis has also brought yoga to her community garden and is now expanding her reach to other cities across the country.

“I began my journey into yoga more than 10 years ago,” said Pettis. “I was very hesitant because I didn’t want to do the wrong thing and didn’t know much about yoga. I felt very confused and disconnected from my reality and who I really was at that time in my life. I began soul searching and everywhere I looked led me back inside myself. I found infinite value in being able to sit still, stop the movement and open up enough space just to Be.”

“I am grateful to be able to help people be who they are and feel more grounded in self.”

Bridget and the Collective Group of Black Woman Yogis will be bringing Yoga Intensives throughout many U.S. communities, starting in Tulsa, OK.

Yoga in the Park with Bridget Pettis runs August 19-21 and is a great opportunity for newcomers to try yoga or more advanced practitioners to develop or deepen their daily yoga practice. Rates are $25 a day or $60 for all 3 days, August 19-21. Please bring a water bottle and mat.
