Friday’s Favorite Fit: Outdoor Yoga in Minneapolis

By Jess in Minneapolis

*A little belated, I was out of town & tech-free for the weekend!

Friday’s Favorite Fit this week is outdoor yoga in Minneapolis!

I am most familiar with two outdoor yoga classes- Yoga by the Lake, hosted by Meggan of the Yoga Garage, and Savasana at Sunset, hosted by Emily of Luminous Yoga!

Here are the specifics:

Savasana at Sunset is held on Tuesday nights at 6:30 on the south side of Lake Calhoun by the volleyball courts. You won’t miss the crowd if you’re in the area, and you’ll have a beautiful view of the lake and the sun setting over downtown Minneapolis.

Yoga by the Lake is held on Wednesday nights at 7 pm on Lake of the Isles.
Location: W. 27th St & Lake of the Isles Pkwy, Minneapolis, MN. 
Find your inner peace at this beautiful (and maybe quieter?) lake on Wednesday evenings.

Meggan’s class was the first outdoor class I ever went to. I’m not sure how the whole phenomenon started, but no matter, I love that there are multiple outdoor yoga classes to choose from in Minneapolis. There two options are probably just two of many, though I would highly recommend either one. In fact, the two teachers often sub for each other, so you’ll probably get a chance to try both, even if only one weeknight works for your schedule.
I am sure there are even more options out there. I swear I see others going on- at the Lake Harriet bandshell in the morning, at Lake Calhoun but different nights….they’re everywhere!

Two different classes, two different lakes, two different nights. Both classes are “free” or donation based, so bring some cash, your yoga mat, some water, maybe some bug spray, and join these lovely ladies for some vinyasa in the sunshine! Summer is short in Minneapolis, so there is only a brief window of time when outdoor yoga is possible so take advantage now, before snow is falling again!
