Register for a Class
Hello friends! Yoga on the Banks is back in April 2021! In keeping with our local Philadelphia recommendations, we are holding smaller, socially-distanced classes. Mask are required, as is advanced registration, in order to allow us to control our class size safely. If you would like to register for an upcoming class, please visit our Facebook page, or go directly to our Eventbrite page. We’re excited to see you there!
2021 OUTDOOR SCHEDULE
We’re excited to be returning to the Schuylkill Banks for our 8th 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. Due to COVID-19 group event restrictions, advanced class registration is required (please see above), as is mask wearing and physical distancing.
Saturdays: 10am – 11am
Sundays: 10am – 11am
Tuesday: 6pm – 7pm
Thursdays: 6pm – 7pm
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. Or follow us on Instagram @yogaonthebanksphilly.

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!

Hi Abby! Some weeks there will be a pop-up Tuesday night class, but not every week (some weeks it may be Thursday or Friday or Monday!) These classes will be mostly based on weather and teacher availability. I will always announce them on our Facebook and Instagram pages, and you will always be able to register for them when they are announced on our Eventbrite page.
