Health and fitness agenda: Mind Over Madness Yoga in NYC

(Adam Pantozzi)

Coming up, yogis in New York will unroll their mats in Times Square for a day of free yoga classes. Later this month: the BIO International Convention in Washington, DC.

Mind Over Madness Yoga
June 21
Times Square, New York City, USA

An annual summer solstice event where the world is invited to Times Square, similar to watching the New Year's ball drop, except you need to bring your yoga mat to take part in the free yoga festival. The goal is to find "tranquility and transcendence in the midst of the urban energy of the world's most commercial and frenetic place" with one of the day's scheduled free yoga classes (available from 7:30am to 6pm). Thousands or yogis are expected to attend, and event sponsor lucy activewear is providing free yoga mats and gift bags to the first 1,000 attendees for each class. Since it is Times Square, where anything and everything is known to happen, there is a waiver you need to sign as well as RSVP for a class. New this year, organizers Times Square Alliance will stream the event live on their website: http://www.TimesSquareNYC.org.
