Free yoga classes are returning to the lawn at Bryant Park this summer. Presented by performance apparel brand Calia, the classes kick off on May 29, with sessions hosted on Tuesday mornings at 10 a.m. on the park’s upper terrace and on Wednesday evenings at 6 p.m. on the lawn. Running through September 25, the classes will be led by some of the city’s most sought-after yoga instructors and open to participants of all experience levels.
This year’s lineup of instructors includes Kirra Michel and Kristin McGree, as well as a variety of other acclaimed experts, who will offer participants a wide variety of yoga styles to try throughout the summer.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Bryant Park to help bring New York City’s most popular outdoor yoga series to life,” Tracey Fetherson, senior brand manager at CALIA, said. “At each session we hope to empower participants to find strength, confidence, and beauty in the burn.”
Yogis should bring mats and water and arrive early to reserve a spot. Book a spot here.
For those who can’t make the in-person sessions, Bryant Park will stream the classes on Wednesday evenings at 6 p.m. via Instagram @bryantparknyc.
Bryant Park will also again be a hotspot for free outdoor music this summer with its annual Picnic Performances. From May 31 through September 31, the event series will feature 25 free live music, dance, and theater performances. Audiences can enjoy world-class acts from institutions like Carnegie Hall, the New York City Opera, and the Harlem Stage.
