Blue Ridge Yoga and Zoo Knoxville are inviting the community to experience an unforgettable evening where wildlife, wellness, and conservation come together for a meaningful cause.

On Friday, May 29, beginning at 4 p.m., guests are invited to “Yoga at the Zoo,” a special after-hours fundraiser that 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. 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.
