How cool !

A Leipers Fork farmer has launched a new farmer's and maker's market to strengthen community bonds and showcase local products after her honor system farmstands became a local trend.

Wow this is what yoga is all about!

A Brief History of Yoga in the Park – Franklin, TN
🌍 2015 – The first International Day of Yoga (IDY) was celebrated globally, led by India to inspire worldwide wellness.
🌳 2018 – Franklin joined the global celebration, thanks to the vision of Torrey Barnhill of Friends of Franklin Parks and Jason Collins of Franklin Juice Bar. Together with local businesses and teachers, they created a joyful, nature-based event featuring goat and bunny yoga, and feel-good community vibes.
😷 2020 – I stepped in to lead meditation, little did I know the event would land in the middle of the height of the pandemic. We met in masks, socially distanced in the park, and had the creative idea to livestream the event via Facebook and FOFP’s email list — because what better time was there for yoga and meditation?
🌼 2021–2022 – A small group of yogis lead by Myself and Jen from New Moon Yoga, returned in 2021 to keep the tradition alive.
✨By 2022, Caitlin Ferris from Lifetime Franklin said yes to sponsorship and local businesses were invited back in, and the event began to blossom again into something bigger.
✨ Today – Yoga in the Park is a vibrant, free community wellness celebration and a powerful fundraiser supporting Friends of Franklin Parks — specifically this year and the last two - Ellie G’s Dream World, a future all-inclusive playground designed for children of all abilities. #2020 .yoga

To all the fathers, father figures, and amazing men who show up with presence, patience, and heart — Happy Father’s Day 💙

Today we honor the calm in the chaos, the steady breath in the swirl of life, and the grounded energy that so many dads bring to their families, communities, and the world.

At YITP, we’re all about choosing presence — and we see you doing just that. Showing up. Listening. Holding space. Teaching strength through stillness and compassion through action.

Here’s to all the great dads who lead with love, lift with kindness, and choose to be present, even when it’s not easy.

🧘🏾‍♂️🌳🙏🏽💪🏽👣💙
Happy Father’s Day from all of us at !
