“As we begin our 13th season of Yoga In Our City, we’re honored to keep creating welcoming spaces for people to move, breathe, and connect together,” said Yizza Galdamez, Managing Director of Yoga In Our City. “With continued support from our partners at ConnectiCare, we’re proud to offer yoga that’s inclusive, and held right in the heart of our public parks across Connecticut. Whether it’s your first class or your hundredth, there’s a place for you on the mat.”
The 2025 season includes classes seven days per week at select parks, including classes led by bilingual teachers. Participants are encouraged to bring a bottle of water and a yoga mat, towel, or blanket to each class.
