Monumental Yoga celebrates Indy’s love for yoga

We are finding our inner peace this morning and preparing to join thousands of people at Monument Circle!

It all happens Sunday, June 21 at noon, where Monument Circle will come alive with yogis of all levels, as instructors from all over the city lead a flowing yoga class. It’s the 3rd year for this fun event, which celebrates Indy’s love for yoga, the summer solstice and first annual International Day of Yoga (as declared by the United Nations).

Organizers say the event is open to all ages and all levels of expertise! Beginners are welcomed and encouraged to attend!

Here’s the schedule and everything you need to know!
