This outdoor yoga practice will weave together bird-inspired postures with a little exploration of the birds that call the park home. We’ll move through an all-levels flow inspired by wings, balance, flight, and stillness — accompanied by the birdsong around us. After class, you’ll be invited to slow down and listen more closely, exploring the park’s soundscape and noticing the different calls, rhythms, and sounds that are often there but easily missed. No birding knowledge or yoga experience needed. Just bring your mat, your curiosity, and a willingness to listen.
Yoga with the Birds is an outdoor, all-levels yoga class at Fred Fletcher Park that incorporates bird-inspired poses and mindful listening to the local wildlife. After the physical practice, the instructor leads a quiet session focused on identifying the different bird calls and natural sounds throughout the park. What to Know: The class runs from 8:00 to 9:00 AM on Friday, September 18, 2026. It is open to all experience levels, making it a great fit for adults and older teenagers. Tickets are sold on a sliding scale from $10 to $15. You will need to bring your own yoga mat or a large towel, as the park does not provide equipment. Parking is available in the main lot off Washington Street, which is close to the grassy areas where class typically meets. This session offers a calm, screen-free start to the weekend. It is a simple way to squeeze in some self-care and enjoy the cooler morning air before the busy weekend schedule begins.
Do I need prior yoga or birdwatching experience to attend?
No experience is necessary. The movement is designed for all fitness levels, and the listening portion is guided, so you do not need any prior knowledge of local bird species.
What is the cost of the class and how do I pay?
The class uses a sliding scale fee of $10 to $15, allowing you to pay what fits your budget within that range.
Are children allowed to participate in this yoga session?
While there is no strict age limit, the focus on quiet listening and stillness makes this class best suited for adults and quiet teenagers rather than toddlers or young children.
