Hello friends! As the trees blossom and the weather warms, we’re thinking about our upcoming season of YOTB. We are keeping with our local PHILADELPHIA recommendations, and will be ready to begin our season when social distancing recommendations allow for small, spaced groups. I don’t know when that will be, but rest assured we’ll be back in the Banks as soon as it’s safe and allowed.
Many local studios are offering donation-based classes through Zoom and other platforms, and now is a great time to support local studios and teachers!
2020 OUTDOOR SCHEDULE
We’re excited to be returning to the Schuylkill Banks for our 7th year of donation-based outdoor classes. Yoga on the Banks meets on the grassy area at 25th and Locust, near the Schuylkill River Banks boardwalk in Philadelphia. In order to meet our mission of making yoga accessible to everyone, Yoga on the Banks is donation-based, and has no set fee. This program is entirely supported by you – our students – and your donation is gratefully accepted to support our teachers and assistants, insurance costs, and the administration of this program.
Saturdays: 10am – 11am
Sundays: 10am – 11am
Thursdays: 7pm – 8pm
We accept donations by cash, and through our Venmo account: @Yogaonthe-Banks
Philadelphia Yoga on the Banks classes are accessible to all levels of students – even if this is your very first yoga class! Bring a friend, bring your child, even bring your well-behaved dog. Because we practice outside in the warmer months, we suggest you bring your own mat or towel to practice on, sunglasses and sunscreen, and water bottle. There is a free public water fountain on site, and a public restroom. For up-date-weather and other announcements, please follow our Facebook page.

Hi! I’m looking forward to these classes– however the website doesn’t indicate when this regular schedule will start and the facebook link included doesn’t work…. can you clarify when this schedule will be active? 🙂
Thanks!
