Omaha yoga lovers are kicking off their shoes for the fourth season of Yoga Rocks the Park, the weekly, wellness, free yoga and live music festival that returns this Sunday, May 25 to beautiful Turner Park, Midtown Crossing’s 7.5-acre front yard.
Yoga Rocks The Park will be held at 4pm every Sunday from May 25 – July 6.
“Turner Park is a spectacular setting and we’re thrilled to return for our fourth year,” said Lora McCarville, Omaha yoga instructor and local Yoga Rocks the Park director who brought the event to Turner Park after first experiencing it in Denver.
“I knew it would fit perfectly in Turner Park,” said McCarville, “and the restaurants and retail offerings that have been incorporated by Midtown Crossing are spectacular.”
The gathering has blossomed into a full-blown wellness festival attracting hundreds each week, complete with massage, integrative therapy exhibitions, vendor booths, organic food and drink vendors, and even more live music, along with national and local yoga teacher-led classes for adults and a nationally recognized children’s program, Camp Yoga Rocks.
