COLUMBUS, Ohio – Grab your sketch pad and your yoga mat for an exciting 'Sketch and Stretch’ series happening at the Ohio Statehouse this June! For three Thursdays during the month, visitors are invited to spend an evening of free yoga and sketching sessions.

“This is a new opportunity to celebrate the beauty of the historic, 10-acre green space at the Ohio Statehouse and to host people interested in both art and fitness,” said Megan Wycuff, Executive Director of the Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board. “We invite people of all experience levels to come out and have a good time!”

'Sketch and Stretch' will take place at the West Plaza of the Ohio Statehouse June 4, 11, and 25. During each event, there will be two sessions scheduled for yoga and two sessions of sketching. Visitors are invited to participate in both offerings!

Yaizmen Fayne of RawYoga614 will lead classes through the stretch sessions. People of all ages and experience levels are invited. Attendees are asked to bring their own yoga mats.
