Desirae Ellison

My yoga journey led me to San Marcos, Lake Atitlán, where I completed my training with the Kula Collective in 2023. Rooted in vinyasa flow, somatic movement, and pranayama, my practice is an invitation to move with awareness, curiosity, and compassion.I am deeply inspired by the body’s innate intelligence and its ability to heal when given space, presence, and breath. Through mindful movement and conscious breathing, I guide students toward greater freedom of expression within their bodies—making room for vitality, resilience, and life force to flourish.
Breathwork and embodied practice have been powerful allies in my own journey of navigating and transmuting deep-seated trauma. It is from this lived experience that I share the transformative connection between breath and body, offering practices that support grounding, release, and a gentle return home to oneself.
My intention is to create a safe, soulful container where movement becomes medicine, breath becomes guidance, and each practitioner is empowered to meet themselves exactly where they are.

Active Southern West Virginia encourages all pickleball participants to prioritize eye safety during play. The American Academy of Ophthalmology highlights the risk of serious eye injuries from pickleball due to the sport’s fast-paced nature and hard plastic balls. To reduce this risk, players are advised to wear protective eyewear made of polycarbonate material, which offers both front and side protection. Wrap-around goggles are particularly effective in safeguarding against potential injuries . While not currently mandated, incorporating protective eyewear into your pickleball gear is a proactive step towards ensuring a safe and enjoyable playing experience.
1. Pre-register for every time you want to join us for play (email me for help with this)
2. Check in with the Community Captain on duty. It will be Ed, or Beth, or Greg, or Jacki for the most part. Please don’t just go over to a court and start playing before doing this as well as number 3 on the list.
3. Go to the whiteboard, and sign up for a court. This whiteboard is on the table behind the courts. We used this instead of paddle stacking to keep games moving and it worked very well. If you weren’t with us last week, not to worry, it is not hard and many of the participants who came will be ready to help you out. When players are waiting, it will be four on/four off, so come back to the whiteboard to get back into the rotation after finishing a game.
4. We will have a designated beginner court set up on either Court 1 or Court 4. Please volunteer to work with any beginners until they are ready to rotate with the group. We had a beginner last week, and a couple players played with her for about a half hour and she joined everyone else and it went great. We like to have beginners joining to learn, so be part of the amazing group of seasoned players ready to help a beginner once in a while.
5. If you invite others, please ask them to do the membership and pre-register.
6. If you notice anyone new, feel free to ask them if they need to do a membership and help them out too. We may not be able to let everyone who shows up without registering play. But we can explain to them how to attend another session.
There are paddles to use if you don’t have one. And balls are provided too! Additionally, last week there was open play at 7pm, so if you want to keep playing you can let them know at the front desk and pay the fee they have for staying past our Active SWV free play time.

Registration to any Active SWV free programming indicates acceptance of our liability waiver for every adult and child attending.

Sticks & Stones 15K
2026-10-10 08:00 - 17:00 | Babcock State Park, 486 Babcock Rd, Clifftop, WV, 25831, United States
Our Spring run at Babcock, the “Gristmill Grinder” has become such a favorite we decided that it was time to invite you to a Fall run- Sticks and Stones 15K! This course too is already a classic, and is a point-to-point format. Starting at Historic Camp Washington-Carver runners will run into the park and along the rim of the Mann’s Creek Gorge before dropping down into the deep canyon. This adds another 2.2 miles of trail to the Big loop from the Grinder course and takes away a mile of road. This leaves you with 9 miles of trail that is incredibly fast, fun and so spectacular! Enjoy the beautiful fall colors, rhododendron tunnels, waterfalls, cliffs, bridges and always amazing scenery. The only road section on this course is as you run up to the famous Gristmill and then turn left toward Skyline and the Finish.
So, what are you waiting for? Reserve your spot today- this run will have a smaller cap than the Grinder, only 150 slots, and fill quickly. Babcock in the Fall is Almost Heaven! See you in October–
Racer perks include-

Chip Timing
Shuttle from the Finish line to the Start
Two Aid Stations on the course
Custom Long Sleeve Tech Shirts **
Fruit and beverages at the Finish
Babcock “Cups” for Winners in Age Groups !!

Thurmond Walk
2026-10-10 11:00 - 12:00 | Thurmond Depot, Hwy 25 & Hwy 2, Thurmond, WV, 25936, United States
Unlike many turn of the century towns in New River Gorge, Thurmond was a railroad town instead of a coal town. For years, this small town brought in millions of dollars for the C&O Railway with a bustling downtown district and trains rolling through every 15 minutes. Now, over 100 years since the boom time of Thurmond, the town is all but abandoned. Join a ranger as you walk through the remnants of the downtown district while learning more about this unique place and the people who lived there. This outdoors walking tour will cover approximately 0.25 miles one way on mostly flat paved and graveled walkways. Some terrain may become slightly uneven. Good shoes, water, a hat, sunscreen, and insect repellent are recommended. The path through town is located directly next to active CSX railroad mainline; loud freight trains may be encountered during the tour.
Meet at the Thurmond Depot Visitor Center. The road to Thurmond is narrow and winding; RVs and trailers are not recommended on this road. Since parking is limited at the depot, overflow and large vehicle parking is available across the river in the Dunglen area. Visitors in this parking lot can access the town by walking across the road bridge.
