YOGA YOGA in the Park!

Austin, Texas (February 4, 2004) - The Austin Parks Foundation, Downtown Austin Alliance, and YOGA YOGA have teamed up to bring downtown Austin free, outdoor yoga classes every Wednesday in March at noon. All ages and abilities are welcome. Please wear comfortable clothing and bring your yoga mat. All classes will be led by registered yoga teachers from Yoga Yoga.

WHERE:
Republic Square Park between 4th and 5th Streets on Guadalupe

WHEN:
Wednesdays, 12noon- 1 p.m., in March (3, 10, 17, 24, 31)

WHO:
Classes for downtown residents, employees, and visitors. Hosted by Austin Parks Foundation, Downtown Austin Alliance, and YOGA YOGA.

MEDIA OPP:
Yoga classes will take place on the berms of historic Republic Square Park, one of downtown Austin's few remaining greenspaces. Republic Square Park was deemed public land for community gatherings in 1839 by Colonel Edwin Waller. Through a public/private partnership APF, DAA & PARD are working to revitalize Republic Square Park to make it a healthy and active destination park. Though the park often is overlooked and underused, programming such as free yoga classes showcases the importance of preserving and improving the "living room" of downtown.
