The arrival of spring and summer in Philly typically means the return of outdoor yoga season. While the pandemic dramatically altered gatherings of all kinds last spring, we know a lot more about safely exercising outdoors a year later. We also know that spending time outdoors, socially distanced, is one of our best bets for COVID-safe group exercise options right now. That’s just one reason we’re glad many studios are offering outdoor options within the city and in the surrounding suburbs.

Whether you’ve been practicing yoga for years or you’re totally new to your mat, here’s where to find outdoor yoga sessions in Philly now.
