In partnership with Yoganic Flow, DPC’s popular Yoga in the Parks series returns in 2023 with an expanded schedule. These 60-minute outdoor community yoga classes for all levels and ages are free to attend and will be held across six Detroit parks and green spaces from June 3 through Sept. 2.

The ‘Yoga in the Parks’ program is made possible through a grant from the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan.

“Our free community yoga classes are a great way to experience the beauty and health benefits of Detroit’s parks,” said Sigal Hemy, executive director of the Detroit Parks Coalition.

Yoganic Flow has been providing accessible yoga classes throughout the Detroit community since 2014. With a vision of inner peace and inner-city peace, Yoganic Flow and its experienced instructors will expand on its mission to make yoga accessible in the urban community through free ‘Yoga in the Parks’ classes that are available to all ages and abilities.

“Yoganic Flow Community Yoga is Community Care. Youth, adults and seniors join us every summer in Detroit's parks,” said Yoganic Flow Founder Kerrie Trahan. “Our yoga offerings contribute to intergenerational health and engagement in our neighborhoods. We welcome all community members to join a free, inclusive and accessible Yoganic Flow yoga class this summer in the ‘Yoga in the Parks’ series offered in partnership with Detroit Parks Coalition.”
