Free Yoga in Elks Park: The Path of Purpose

Sunday June 28, 2026 12:00pm - 1:00pm MDT

Elks Park - Town of Telluride @ Elks Park, 123 S Oak St, Telluride, CO, 81435

When movement, music, and meaning align, purpose becomes palpable. In this powerful, music-driven practice, Adam Brous guides you through an experiential journey inspired by the 8 Limbs of Yoga, culminating in Dharana (focused concentration) and Dhyana (effortless meditation).

Expect an intelligently sequenced, strength-meets-flow practice designed to focus the mind, awaken the heart, and unify breath with movement. As the body moves, attention sharpens; as attention steadies, meditation arises naturally.

This is more than a class — it’s a collective experience of presence, devotion, and shared purpose. When we practice together, clarity expands, connection deepens, and the path forward becomes illuminated.
