Start: 2026-10-07T22:00:00.000Z

Location: Morehead Planetarium & Science Center

Yoga Under the Stars is a weekly evening fitness class held inside the fulldome theater at the Morehead Planetarium and Science Center. Led by instructor Laura Terry, the session combines gentle movement with high-definition space visuals projected across the ceiling. It offers a calm, dark environment designed to help you relax and reset mid-week. This class is open to all skill levels, making it a solid option for beginners, parents needing a break, or teenagers who want to try yoga. You will need to bring your own yoga mat and water bottle, as the planetarium does not provide equipment. Parking is available in the Raleigh Street gallery lot or the nearby Rosemary Street parking decks, though you should allow extra time to find a spot during busy campus hours. While not a traditional weekend activity, this Wednesday night session serves as an excellent, quiet escape to help you recharge before the busy weekend ahead. It is a rare opportunity to experience the planetarium dome in a quiet, meditative setting without the usual school-trip crowds.
