Join us for the first-ever Yoga on the Boulevard event, Friday, Sept. 28 at 6pm at Historic South Park’s most iconic spot, the Olmsted-designed boulevard on Park Drive.
This class is FREE, thanks to the generosity of our friends at Practice Yoga on 5th. Previous yoga experience is helpful but not necessary, so whether you’re an experienced yogi or a just want to give yoga a try, please join us! Please bring your own mat, as only a limited number of loaners will be available.
The event is open to everyone, not just South Parkers, so please feel free to tell your friends— the more, the merrier! If you have a Facebook account, we’d appreciate if you’d RSVP via our Event Invite.
Thanks, and hope to see you Friday!
