Yoga In The Park Starts This Week In Shaker Heights

SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH — Free yoga sessions will be held in Shaker Heights' parks throughout the summer. A calendar of the upcoming yoga sessions was released by the city this month and the first event will be held Wednesday at 6 p.m. at the Gridley Triangle.

The sessions are free and open to the community. Hatha Yoga will be taught, but each event will be beginner-friendly and offers a combination of "improved physical, mental and spiritual health" the city said.
