Mountain pose: If you’ve been doing YouTube yoga while squeezed between your couch and TV, you might need a change of scenery. Zen at Swannanoa offers a wild alternative to your living room flow. The class is held at the Swannanoa mansion, built by millionaire Virginia lawyer James Dooley in 1912 and styled after Rome’s Villa Medici. After doing sun salutations while overlooking the Blue Ridge, your mountain pose may never be the same.
Sunday 5/16, $30 suggested donation, 2pm. Swannanoa, 497 Swannanoa Ln., Afton. (540) 885-5653.

Nearly $1 million a year goes into the work you’re reading—covering local government, spotlighting the arts, and telling the stories no one else does. If you value that, help fund it for $10 a month (or whatever tax-deductible gift you can afford). Save the free word.
