One of the great things about spring is the increase in outdoor fitness classes in the city. With warm weather comes more opportunities to get out and join a group workout.

On three Saturdays – April 10, May 8 and June 12 – Lumos Yoga & Barre is running a pop-up fitness series with Festive Fitness.
