The spirit of Detroit is evident all around the city, but so is the mind and body! The best outdoor yoga in Detroit is giving you a reason to release…all the sweat as we near the end of a sunny summer. Most of these events are free, which is even better. Perhaps you’ve already got a good exercise routine going, but perhaps you’d like a change of setting.
Detroitisit rounded up a list of outdoor yoga in Detroit because we want to get the most out of the warm months and feel good about ourselves. Several are free and the rest are affordable. See what’s left! Empower yourself and appreciate the simple moments while viewing the city in a new light.
