Since its launch in 2008, Yoga Rocks The Park (YRP), nationally presented by Natural Fitness, has grown steadily from one small grassroots gathering in Denver, Colorado, to one of the most beloved, family-friendly yoga and wellness festivals in the United States. YRP has almost doubled their U.S. presence over last year, with weekly ongoing events now in over 14 cities across the country, including Boulder, Chicago, Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco, and many others, with attendance topping over 400 yogis and their families in select cities.
As YRP events are kicking off in cities throughout the U.S. YRP is proud to announce the launch of their Portland event series beginning Saturday, July 13, 2013. The events are to be held on select Saturdays throughout the summer through September 14, 2013 at Laurelhurst Park from 9am - noon, locally presented by PrAna and Women's Health Today amongst many other local and national supporters.
Each event includes a 75-minute all-levels yoga class with one of Portland's favorite yoga teachers, accompanied by live music from emerging and nationally recognized musicians, and a kids yoga camp to compliment the adult class, designed for children ages 3-10. The events also include a vendor village providing guests with unique experiences and access to innovations in wellness with YRP's national and local partners.
This year’s line-up includes yoga with Alex Cole, Tina Porter, Jill Knouse, Ian Tagge, Chris Calarco, Jamie Dresselhaus, Ali Matt, and Sarah Kurtz with live music from the Luminaries, DJ Hyfi, Steve Gold, Plantrae, Dub Sutra, Nada Vritti and DJ Manoj.
“Yoga Rocks the Park is not just a weekly event, it’s a movement to bring a sense of peace and joy to communities throughout the country through yoga, live music and giving. We want to celebrate communities that are thriving in a unified sense of family and wellness, and are having fun doing it," says Erik Vienneau, YRP’s Founder.
Tickets to the event are available in advance for $12 at and $15 at the park on the event website, with 10% of the net-profits from the Portland event supporting Living Yoga, a non-profit outreach program teaching yoga as a tool for personal change in prisons, drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers, and to populations who would otherwise not have access to it.
YRP is now offering special discounted individual and family season passes to the event available for purchase on the event website through July 29, 2013.
