Looking for a sign to finally try yoga? This is it. Rooftop Yoga 4 Beginners is back on June 8 from 11am–12pm at Fizzwerks—offering easygoing flows, fresh air, and a no-pressure vibe that welcomes all ages and flexibility levels (even the “I can’t touch my toes” crowd). You’ll stretch, breathe, and walk away feeling lighter—body and mind.
Hungry afterward? Peep the rooftop menu for flatbreads, sammies, salads, and dips—plus drinks with or without the buzz.
