The Lancaster Recreation Commission and AIM to Empower Yoga are partnering this summer to host Yoga in the Park, a series of in-person community yoga classes held weekly at various parks throughout the city. Last year, the two organizations partnered to livestream yoga classes virtually during the pandemic. This year's in-person experience will aim to get attendees away from technology and experiencing nature, all while becoming more mentally focused and relaxed. The classes are for people of all ages; they are free of charge, and registration is not required.

Classes take place on Mondays at 5:30 p.m. at Buchanan Park, Buchanan and Race avenues; on Tuesdays at 6 p.m. at Culliton Park/Farnum Park, Farnum and Water streets; on Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. at Musser Park, North Lime Street; and on Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. at Rodney Park, Third and Crystal streets.

A special chair yoga class for adults over age 60 is held at Lancaster Rec Senior Center, 525 Fairview Ave., lower level, on Thursdays at 9:15 a.m.

Attendees should bring a yoga mat, towel and water bottle. For more information and rain dates, search for @aimtoempower on Facebook or Instagram.
