If you’re wondering what to do on a Saturday morning, why not bring out your yoga mat and venture out for a free yoga class in New York City? Laughing Lotus teaches a great flowing vinyasa yoga to amazing music beneath the High Line from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. and classes will run until August 25. It’s worth mentioning they also have a beautiful studio and give back to their neighborhood, and the world, through their charity Love Saves the Day.

For those of you closer to Midtown, there’s more yoga during the week in Bryant Park on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. and Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. The classes run through September 27. A variety of teachers come in to teach from various studios.
LuluLemon has partnered with Bend and Bloom in Prospect Park’s Long Meadow, again with a variety of teachers from various studios coming in. The class is open level and moves at a generous pace. Classes are held Thursdays from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. until September 6.
Live in Queens? In addition to capoeira, film and Shakespeare performances, you can now add yoga to Socrates Sculpture Park. Taught by Monique Schubert in the more gentle Kripalu style of yoga on Saturday mornings at 9:30 a.m., which is a more intimate crowd, then again at 11 a.m. which is a fuller session. She’s a great teacher taking time to articulate and demonstrate each posture. Her classes run until September 30.
If you have the time to run around New York, you can fill up the rest of your summer and the start of fall
with free yoga all over the city and experience a variety of teachers and styles!
