Opening day of Free Yoga in the Park brought out the baby in many area residents. Moving from sun salutations to pigeon to happy baby pose; both first-timers and seasoned yogis, took advantage of the opportunity to practice free yoga outdoors as the second season of the program kicked off.

Happy Baby Pose

This mind/body practice is offered in the heart of Highlands Ranch at the mind body gardens of Civic Green Park from 8:15-9:15 a.m. every Wednesday and Saturday through September 4, weather permitting.

“We had a vision of providing a place of beauty and serenity where anyone could come and experience a free yoga practice in a space that helps to heal the body, mind and spirit. It’s the kind of program that allows you to be in touch with the earth, nature and the community at-large,” said Nancy Levenson, founder of NamasteWorks Yoga + Wellness, LLC, and a certified yoga instructor and therapist.

“The community is what makes the class. While yoga is very personal and it stays in your head long after you leave the park, being surrounded by a hundred other people all practicing together fills me with a joyful spirit I carry throughout my entire day,” said participant Teresa Dinnen.
