Farmington, CT- June 6, 2024—Yoga In Our City, presented by ConnectiCare, is proud to announce the launch of its 12th season, which will take place in 27 parks across Connecticut. The popular, seasonal program provides all residents an opportunity to boost their mental, physical, and spiritual well-being with free yoga classes in Bridgeport, Hartford, Middletown, New Haven, New London, Waterbury, and Willimantic. Classes are offered now through October 13.
Hosting over 800 free yoga classes annually – taught by local instructors in each city – the program provides a space for individuals of all ages and ability levels to enjoy yoga.

“Yoga In Our City offers Connecticut communities an accessible way to come together and reap the benefits of yoga,” said Kimberly Kann, Vice President of Public Relations at ConnectiCare. “ConnectiCare is proud to be a long-time sponsor of Yoga In Our City and its mission to bring residents of all ages a free resource to support their mental and physical health.”
Yoga classes are held seven days a week, including several bilingual classes in Hartford, New Haven, New London, and Waterbury. Participants are encouraged to bring a bottle of water and a yoga mat, towel, or blanket to each class. The 2024 Yoga In Our City schedule is available on the program's website, yogainourcity.com.
