Stretching with the wild side
It begins with an up-close surprise animal encounter before transitioning into an all-levels yoga class surrounded by the sights and sounds of the zoo, according to Suzanne Cada, Blue Ridge Yoga studio director.
“Participants will have the rare opportunity to move, breathe and unwind in one of Knoxville’s most beloved and unique settings, all while
supporting Zoo Knoxville’s conservation mission,” she said.
The event begins at 4 p.m., and tickets are $39 with all proceeds directly benefiting Zoo Knoxville’s ongoing wildlife conservation efforts.
“Guests are encouraged to embrace the fun by dressing as their favorite animal,” Cada said.

“With more than 13 years of experience and a background, which includes wilderness therapy, international travel, massage therapy and outdoor adventure, Evans brings an approachable and uplifting energy to her classes,” Cada said. “Her teaching blends flowing movement, mindful breathwork and restorative holds designed to help students feel stronger, calmer and more connected.”
