Sun salutations with skyline views? Yes. A mimosa to follow? Double yes. Rooftop Yoga & Mimosas at The Willard is happening Sunday, June 29 from 10–11AM, and it’s your excuse to stretch, flow, and sparkle under the sky. Expect a one-hour vinyasa set to Afro beats and R&B, followed by a bubbly cooldown with fellow yogis. Newbies welcome, good vibes required.
This isn’t sponsored (we’d tell you). We just like it when yoga includes champagne. (Just so you know: Sponsored content in our newsletter is always marked with “*”).
