remember what your mama told you, "it's a beautiful day, go yoga outside!" (tomAto, tomOto - yoga, play - same deal)
slather on the sunscreen, grab your mat & hit up a park near you! all across the country there are outdoor yoga events happening for FREE (hence making them yogadeals-worthy).
here's just a taste of what you can find.
new york - not to make other cities feel bad - but we are really leading the way in free park yoga for the masses:
summer weeklies:
wednesdays at a park in chelsea (10th ave between 14th & 15th streets)
it looks like the weather is turning around in nyc! so get out there & get your yoga on (without breaking the piggybank - of course).here are some highlights from yogadeals' sister blog, ny yoga examiner, that features ny-centric yoga happenings:
join laughing lotus for any noontime class this week & your friend gets to go for FREE. you could even use it as a gifting opportunity (read: tell your friend you are treating him/her to a class) without any decrease in your holiday piggybank. also, on thursday, the noon class will have a stevie wonder soundtrack hosted by ali.(the friend must be new to LL.)
happy global mala day everyone! fashion week is over & now yogis are taking over nyc! check out these great (some are free!) events that are going on to raise spirits & funds now that autumn (& my allergies) are back for the season:

any yoga happenings in a park near you? please share as not all lovers of yogadeals dwell in nyc.
welcome to my first official vlog (filmed using my flip mino hd cam)! here's an inside look at what i got in my goodie bag from the solstice in times square! in addition to free classes by top nyc yoga instructors, i got a goodie bag. there were actually even more yoga freebies inside, but i thought i'd give you a brief glance, so press play to see all the goods.
maybe next year, they'll figure out how to do these freebies with less paper for a greener solstice - i would certainly take a sunnier one!
maybe it's because of the official summer solstice or just the hope of sunnier days ahead, but regardless, i'll take it - cheap/free yoga happenings this weekend to look forward to in nyc:
vital juice daily's free pop-up wellness retreat will inhabit the now vacant virgin megastore lot in union square, thursday, june 18th through saturday, jun 20th with tons of freebies from fitness classes & spa treatments to health foods, you just have to sign up for the vjd email (of course there's a catch - but they have great content - promise!). yoga class & veggie bbq at namaste yoga in billyburg on saturday, june 20th. yoga starts at 2pm & the bbq at 3:30pm to meet & eat for $20. if you rather just come to the bbq, it's only 5 beans to get your eat on!
solstice in times square, a free yoga-fest on sunday, june 21st in the heart of nyc's take on disney world. classes start at 8am, but they are filling up fast!
levitate yoga's grand opening in its new midtown haven on sunday, june 21st, 12:30pm to 8:00pm. $7 gets you in the door for sampler classes, taro readings, henna , mini massage, reflexology, acupuncture & free goodies.
as a yogi of about 6 years, i am constantly striving toward yogic bliss, but at the same time looking how to explore new options without having to break the bank doing it. i realize each time i talk to a friend, co-worker or random stranger i have suggestions about yoga, healthy living, etc. so i thought it was only natural to start posting my findings so i can share with more people!
i am also an insured and registered yoga teacher (ryt 200) in core strength vinyasa yoga & have completed a 72-hour course in musculo-skeletal anatomy & kinesiology (for yoga teachers). i have experience teaching adults, as well as elementary school and middle school students.
