From Paige Cara, founder of Prospect Park Yoga:
I am a resident of Windsor Terrace, and recently launched a business that serves folks in Kensington, Windsor Terrace, and surrounding neighborhoods.Prospect Park Yoga (PPY), a new open-air yoga studio bringing high-quality, professional classes to all corners of Prospect Park. The class schedule is growing as the weather warms. Use the promo code INTRO and your first class is $10.A little more about Prospect Park Yoga:After teaching yoga in NYC for over 12-years, three observations led me to launch PPY:
- We all need more time outside, and New Yorkers need more reasons to inhabit public space.
- The outdoor yoga classes in Prospect Park don't serve all of the neighborhoods surrounding the park - just the more affluent neighborhoods to the north
- It is challenging for yoga teachers in NYC to earn a living wage.
PPY classes run multiple times a day, every day of the week, and in locations adjacent to each of the park's main entrances, making classes accessible to folks living on all sides of the park. Taking advantage of public space lowers the PPY's overhead, and a higher percentage of revenue (50-95%) goes directly to teachers.This week's schedule:
- Mon 6/3 | 6 PM (Ocean Parkway Entrance)
- Tue 6/4 | 6 PM (Grand Army Plaza Entrance)
- Wed 6/5 | 6 PM (15th Street Entrance)
- Thu 6/6 | 7:30 AM (Ocean Parkway Entrance) and 6:30 PM (Lincoln Road Entrance)
- Fri 6/7 | 10 AM Pilates (Grand Army Plaza Entrance) and 6:30 PM Qigong (Ocean Parkway Entrance)
- Sat 6/8 | 9 AM (Ocean Parkway Entrance), 10:30 AM (15th Street Entrance) and 12:30 PM (Grand Army Plaza Entrance)
- Sun 6/9 | 10:30 AM (15th Street Entrance) and 11:30 AM (Lincoln Road Entrance)
