Sunday mornings hit different when your downward dog comes with downtown views. Oak City Yoga and instructor Adriana are hosting rooftop yoga at The Willard on August 31, 10–11am. Think: skyline views, deep breaths, and yes…a mimosa afterward (because balance, right?). Space is limited, so you’ll want to reserve your spot here before your mat is left lonely.
This isn’t sponsored (we’d let you know if it was). We just think yoga’s even better with a side of skyline views. (Just so you know: Sponsored content in our newsletter is always marked with “*”).
