If you’re an Instagram fanatic like I am, then you’ve probably seen the overload of early morning yogis, downward dogging on the rooftops of NYC. And your jealousy starts to kick in just a tad. With the summer solstice gracing us with its presence this past Monday, summer is officially in full swing, which means awesome sunrises, the sound of birds chirping, and the very rare, peace and quiet in the city.
But don’t be jealous, because every Thursday morning from now until September, you have the opportunity to do just the same. For free. And you don’t need to wake up at 6 AM to do so. You may miss the early morning sunrise, but if you’re like me, waking up at 5:30 AM is just not going to happen. Talk about namaste in bed…
Thanks to Yoga Vida, you can get your yoga on outdoors every Thursday morning in Washington Square Park. Class will be held from 8:30 AM – 9:30 AM. All you have to do is bring your own mat and meet on the stage at Garibaldi Plaza. To sign up for class, click here to create an account and select the class (or classes) of your choice.
In case you’re worried about what’s going to happen on the morning that you wake up and it feels like 200 degrees (hello August in NYC), don’t be nervous. In the event of extreme heat or pouring rain, class will be canceled and you can check for updates on the WSPConservancy’s twitter account: @wspconservancy.
Keep calm and yoga on. And happy summer solstice! Winter is definitely NOT coming…
