This August, Partnership Carson City, in collaboration with Grassroots Yoga Center and co-sponsored by Carson City Parks and Rec, brings back its popular outdoor yoga sessions starting Aug. 5 and continuing to Aug. 26, 2024.

The free Wellness Yoga classes are held every Monday at 5:30 p.m. at Carriage Square Park, located at 1099 Cabrolet Dr., Carson City, Nevada.

“Taking our yoga classes outdoors combines the best of the beautiful summer days here in Carson City with the tranquility of yoga in an open-air setting,” said Samantha Szoyka, deputy director for Partnership Carson City. “We hope that the community continues to participate in our classes and reaps the benefits that yoga offers.”

Yoga benefits the nervous system by promoting relaxation, reducing stress hormones, balancing the autonomic nervous system, enhancing neuroplasticity, improving mood and mental health, supporting better sleep quality, and regulating heart rate and blood pressure through its poses, breath work and mindfulness.

These family-friendly yoga classes are open to all ages and skill levels. Participants are encouraged to bring water, sunscreen and a yoga mat to fully enjoy the experience.

In case of inclement weather, classes will move to the Partnership Carson City office at 1925 N Carson St. Stay updated on any changes by checking our Facebook page or calling our office at 775-841-4730.

Register for the first class on August 5
here.
