Experience Yoga and Tai Chi in the great outdoors
Yoga and tai chi in the park are a great way of unwinding from the daily stresses of life in the beautiful surroundings of the great outdoors, maybe listening to bird song or the sound of the breeze in the trees.
In 2023 we’ll be bringing you free Yoga and Tai Chi at:
9.30am – 10.30am every Sunday morning from 7th May to 17th September 2023
We’re back for 2023 with Park Yoga in the beautiful Bournemouth Gardens.
Starting at 9:30 by the War Memorial (opposite Town Hall, BH2 6DY), relax and enjoy some peaceful flow and movement to ease into your Sunday.
Parking is available on nearby roads and in town centre car parks.
The Central Gardens are also easily accessible by bus, train, bike and car.
