Yoga is back in the park.
Tuesday was International Day of Yoga and to mark the event, Chrissy Stiehm kicked off her sixth year of hosting Urban Yoga at Bandshell Community Park, which is located at Fourth Street and Ninth Place Southwest.
Urban Yoga will run from 6 to 7 p.m. Tuesdays throughout the summer at the park.
The free classes will be outside unless its raining, and then the sessions will move to the bandshell.
Stiehm said being outside is the ideal way to practice yoga.
“Nature is just a natural mood boost,” she said. “Being out in nature is the ideal way to practice yoga.”
Stiehm said the yoga classes are available to anyone, regardless of experience level.
“It’s a way for people to do yoga, get outside and enjoy,” she said.
