These fun activities will be designed with the help of Knucklebones http://www.knucklebones.us/, a Cambridge company that inspires people of all ages to enjoy
athletics...for the love of play!

Yoga on the Charles: Sundays, July 11th to September 5th
From July 11th to September 5th, enjoy free yoga lessons following games, from 5-6pm. All ages and abilities are welcome. Come relax along the Charles River with us and enjoy this lovely urban park as you stretch and revitalize your body and mind. Participants should bring an ID (under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult), water, a yoga mat, and wear comfortable clothing. A limited number of yoga mats will be available for the class.

All activities will take place upriver from Weeks Footbridge on the Charles River off of Memorial Drive in Cambridge. During the Sunday Parkland Games, Memorial Drive will be closed to vehicle traffic, and families are encouraged to come to the Parklands by bike, on foot, or via public transit.
