PARK YOGA

Park Yoga provides FREE yoga outdoors in public parks in the UK. Park Yoga runs for one hour on Sunday mornings, between May and September. We work with local organisations, Active Partnerships, parks and instructors to bring Park Yoga to local communities, particularly those with residents who are likely to benefit most from the inclusive and welcoming atmosphere of Park Yoga.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
