This outdoor class is designed for improving community health and happiness. Enjoy being outside and moving mindfully on your mat while breathing fresh air in the beautiful surroundings of Roger Williams Park.

The class will be both energizing and relaxing as it flows from a calm to uplifting pace. Build stability, strength and focus through a practice of slowing down and being present by using steady breath, holding foundational postures and mindful movements.Β  This is a great class for beginners and is accessible to students of all levels.

Bring your own yoga mat and any props you’d like to use.

Please arrive early to your first class to complete a waiver; must be signed by parent/guardian for those under 18.

This FREE class is presented by the Roger Williams Park Conservancy as part ofΒ Fitness in the Parks Providence. Donations are welcome to support Park programs and preservation.

Details

Venue

A friendly heads up to Park-goers: Maple and Pine avenues at Cladastris Avenue are temporarily closed for approximately 4-6 weeks, limiting vehicle access to Park Avenue via FC Greene Memorial Boulevard. 

This temporary closure makes way for boardwalk construction at Cunliff Lake, a public access project that will enhance recreational opportunities at Roger Williams Park!

During this period, traffic will be detoured to park entrance and exit locations at Broad Street and Montgomery Avenue and Elmwood Avenue. Drivers using the Elmwood Avenue exit will follow Cladastris Avenue to FC Greene Memorial Boulevard to Linden Avenue to Elmwood Avenue south to Park Avenue east. Those using the Broad Street and Montgomery Avenue exit will follow Cladastris Avenue to Montgomery Avenue to Broad Street south to Warwick Avenue south to Park Avenue west.

Pedestrian and bicycle access will remain open. However, visitors are advised to follow posted signage and respect all barriers, as a crane will be active weekdays from 7AM to 3PM.
