To Do: Yoga in the Garden

Put your lunch break to good use this month with the Yoga in the Garden series at 20th and Market. The Independence Blue Cross-sponsored events, which will be held on the last three Mondays in August, will include a half hour of yoga instruction and a nutrition presentation.

The free sessions start at 12:30 and take place in Center City’s new pop-up garden—pretty  much the perfect setting for an outdoor yoga class. The class will incorporate standing yoga poses and breathing techniques, so you don’t have to lug a mat to the office. Participants are asked to wear yoga-appropriate clothes and shoes. Recipe cards will be handed out following the nutrition presentation, and you can enter a raffle to for a chance to win prizes. How’s that for time well-spent?

Free, August 15, 22, and 29 at the PHS Pop-Up Garden, 20th and Market sts., 12:30 to 1:30 p.m.
