Yoga in the Park Celebrates 11th Year Beginning September 3

Published on August 30, 2023

Lincoln Parks and Recreation today announced that Yoga in the Park will return for its 11th year in September. The free classes will be from 10 to 11 a.m. Sundays, at the Shildneck Bandshell in Antelope Park, 1650 Memorial Drive.

The wellness series called PLAY (Parks, Lincoln, and Yoga) has worked with Lincoln Parks and Recreation for more than a decade to offer classes that are accessible to almost anyone, regardless of yoga experience.

The schedule is as follows:

• September 3 with instructor Brianna Georgeson
• September 10 with instructor Jessica Jewell
• September 17 with instructor Maggie Mae Squires
• September 24 with instructor Nichole Vesely

Teachers are selected by PLAY’s organizer for their ability to offer all-levels classes that allow attendees to experience the joy and energy of an outdoor community yoga event, said PLAY’s founder, Katherine Warren.

“That was my goal in creating PLAY,” Warren said. “I wanted everyone to get to experience the joy of this yoga community. No matter if you’ve ever stepped foot in a yoga class, you can come to the park with a mat – or even just a towel – and experience yoga with zero intimidation. You can spread out amongst the trees. If you fall, the soft grass will catch you, if you want to bring kids, pets or bikes to the park, all are welcome.”
