This summer, join in free yoga at LOVE Park. The new outdoor fitness series was just announced and will take place Sunday afternoons from June 2 through July 14.

The hour-long classes will be vinyasa style and suitable for all levels. Leading the weekly classes will be instructors from City Fitness and Roots2Rise, a nonprofit organization that brings yoga and mindfulness to underserved communities in the Philadelphia area.

While the classes are free, donations are welcome and will go to Roots2Rise.

Reserving a spot online is suggested, but anyone interested can also drop in, so long as space allows.

Remember to bring a mat and wear sunscreen – there's not a lot of shade in LOVE Park!

City Fitness, Roots2Rise, Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and the Fairmount Park Conservancy are all partnering to host the new summer series.
