Grab Your Mats: Huge Yoga Festival in Reston This Weekend

If you're in Reston, grab the kids and get in the car this Sunday -- it's yoga time.

The 8th Annual "Love Your Body Yoga Festival" is back this Sunday, June 12, at the Reston Town Center, and you'll get to experience a full day of "yoga and health- and wellness-related activities for children and adults and dozens of vendor exhibits," according to an announcement from Mindful Healthy Life of Metro DC.

The event, presented by Beloved Yoga, will run from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., and will bring together both Reston residents and local businesses and organizations that "support holistic healing and wellness."

The event will begin with an "opening flow" yoga class from Beloved Yoga. Throughout the day, there will also be plenty of activities geared to kids, like face painting and henna art.

A "Positivi-tree" in the Kidsana tent will allow children to write positive messages and affirmations on construction paper leaves that can be pinned to a 4-foot potted tree that will go to a Cornerstones facility, a non-profit organization that provides support for those who need food, shelter and affordable housing.

Adults will have plenty of activities as well, with large yoga classes on the main stage, live music, exhibit tables and presentations on therapeutic healing practices.

The tentative Kidasana schedule is as follows:

• Story Yoga at 10:00 (ages 2-8)
