Looking for an outdoor yoga class in Cork?

Now that Covid-19 restrictions have been loosened up and group gatherings are permitted again outdoors, more Cork yogis than ever are taking advantage and taking their groups outdoors.

After months in lockdown, there’s nothing like an alfresco stretch to make you feel like yourself again. Grab a mat, water, and sunscreen (yes, even on a dull day) and join a class in your area.

Here are five outdoor yoga classes to try this week:

1. BALLINCOLLIG AND MARINA MARKET 

Alchemy School of Yoga is now offering a full schedule of classes in two new locations. Guided by Jeanie, Kelly Marie, Danni, Ciara and Hannah, you can now get your stretch on in the covered Marina Market and in Ballincollig Regional Park.

Check out the class times and book yours here.

2. FERMOY PARK

When: Saturday, May 29th, 2021 at 10am

Debarra Health and Fitness is hosting an outdoor yoga session in Fermoy Park at the end of the month. The class, which is weather-dependent, costs €8 and it’s suitable for all levels, from beginners to experienced yogis. Bring your own mat.
