Start your Sunday in full sun salutation mode—Oak City Yoga is taking over The Willard rooftop for a vinyasa flow with instructor Adriana Ortiz and some serious skyline views. It all goes down Sunday, July 27 at 10 AM. Your ticket even includes a mimosa (yes, this is self-care).
This isn’t sponsored (we’d tell you if it was). We just think yoga with a breeze and bubbly deserves a shoutout. (Just so you know: Sponsored content in our newsletter is always marked with “*”).
