Bryant Park Yoga returns for summer 2025, with free classes presented by athleisure brand Halara from May 28 to September 17. This long-running community program transforms Midtown’s Upper Terrace (Tuesdays at 10 a.m.) and the Downtown Lawn (Wednesdays at 6 p.m.) into open-air sanctuaries led by some of New York City’s top yoga instructors.

Practicing yoga outdoors brings a sense of magic and deep connection to nature—even in one of the world’s busiest public spaces. 

Classes fill up fast, so attendees should bring their own mat, water and register early for the one-hour sessions. Halara will also enhance select classes with giveaways and branded eco-friendly fitness gear, while visiting vendors offer natural juices and wellness products.

Part of Bryant Park Corporation’s robust events lineup—boasting over 1,000 free public events annually—this wellness series champions accessibility, community and mindful urban living.

Location: Bryant Park (Sixth Ave. between 40th and 42nd St.) For more information and to register, visit BryantPark.org/activities/yoga.
