About the project
Our yoga in the park program promotes healthy lifestyles, builds community and fosters appreciation of our parklands. These weekly yoga sessions introduce our South Bronx community to the concepts and physical and mental benefits of yoga.
The Steps
We are thankful to have four experienced yoga instructors who are dedicated to leading our yoga sessions on alternating Saturdays. Additional funding raised through this initiative will ensure that our weekly yoga sessions before the end of the season.
Why we‘re doing it
Our yoga program brings the benefits of yoga to our South Bronx community. Private yoga sessions can pose a financial barrier to many members of our neighborhood, and many who are not familiar with yoga may simply think it's not for them. This program removes barriers to yoga and encourages residents to give it a try. Our outdoor yoga sessions bring together a broad spectrum of the community and help everyone focus on healthy living and the beauty of our parks.
