A FREE activity which aids both physical and mental health is coming to Worcester this summer.
Park Yoga will take place every Sunday morning at KGV Hub Community Centre in the Brickfields area of the city.
Sessions will run from 9.30am to 10.30am, starting on May 4 and continuing until September 14.
Park Yoga is open to everybody, with no prior experience or booking required.
There will be refreshments available afterwards at the KGV Hub, in the form of a pop-up cafe.
The Worcester events follow a successful scheme in Kidderminster.
Participants are encouraged to consider environmentally-friendly travel options, such as cycling or catching the bus, to get to the event.
Park Yoga in Worcester is supported by Public Health in Worcestershire and Active Herefordshire and Worcestershire, to encourage people to get active and have fun meeting new people this summer.
Onside are delivering the sessions, while delivery partners include Worcester City Council, Worcester Community Trust and Freedom Leisure.
Lorea Sarobe, director of physical activity and wellbeing at Active Herefordshire and Worcestershire, said: “We are very excited that Park Yoga is coming to Worcester to the Brickfields area.
“Offering yoga in an outdoor setting allows participants to enjoy both the physical and mental benefits of movement while embracing being in nature.
“It’s a brilliant opportunity to bring the community together, enhance wellbeing, and enjoy the natural environment.
“In today’s fast-paced world, it’s more important than ever to take time for self-care and mindfulness, and Park Yoga provides the perfect opportunity to do just that.
“Not only will participants improve their flexibility and strength, but they’ll also have the chance to clear their minds and reduce stress in a green space.”
