Skimble Recap: Yoga NightLife, California Academy of Sciences

Workout Trainer by Skimble: CAS Yoga NightLifeOnce a week the California Academy of Sciences opens its doors to San Franciscans for the NightLife events, where a specific theme takes over the halls of the museum for an evening and people from diverse backgrounds and interests come together to explore this magnificent place.

Workout Trainer by Skimble: CAS Yoga NightLifeLast Thursday the museum hosted its first evening of yoga, and Team Skimble was invited to showcase some fun yoga workouts in Workout Trainer with live demonstrations. Skimble was in good company with local friends from Yoga Tree, Yoga Flow SF, and Lief Therapeutics.

What better way to get centered than amongst some of the most beautiful exhibits of mother nature herself.

If you fast forward to the 1:50 min mark in the video, you’ll see that whether you’re going for a run, practicing yoga, rock climbing or doing a workout challenge in Workout Trainer, ’tis the season to stay nimble, Skimblers.
