5 Fun Places to Practice Yoga This Summer in NYC
From Llamaste Family Yoga Studio 

Summer in New York City is the perfect time to take your yoga practice outdoors and soak in the energy, sunshine, and skyline! Whether you're a seasoned yogi or a family looking to stretch and play together, NYC offers plenty of vibrant, inspiring spaces to lay down your mat.

Here are 5 fun and family-friendly places to practice yoga this summer:

1. Central Park – Sheep Meadow
There’s nothing quite like stretching out in the heart of Manhattan with skyline views and soft grass underfoot. Sheep Meadow is a favorite for casual flows, group classes, and spontaneous family yoga picnics. Bring a mat, some snacks, and enjoy a post-savasana stroll through the park!

Llamaste Tip: Go early in the morning for a peaceful vibe before it gets busy.

2. Brooklyn Bridge Park – Pier 6
With panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline and Statue of Liberty, this scenic park offers a dreamy backdrop for your sun salutations. The lawns at Pier 6 are perfect for group or solo practice—and there’s a playground nearby for the kiddos to explore afterward.

Llamaste Tip: Stay for the sunset. It’s magical.

3. Domino Park – Williamsburg
This former sugar refinery site is now one of Brooklyn’s coolest waterfront parks, with plenty of open space and seating areas. We love people watching and seeing yogis of all ages practice here. 

Llamaste Tip: Bring water and snacks and wear lots of sunblock

4. The High Line – Chelsea
This elevated park is a unique, art-filled space to unroll your mat and flow amidst native plantings and public art. Early mornings are ideal, as it can get crowded later in the day. A great option for solo practice or mindful movement.

Llamaste Tip: Pair your yoga with a creative family photo walk!

5. Governors Island – The Hills
A quick ferry ride takes you to this peaceful island oasis, where car-free paths, shaded lawns, and cool breezes make for the ultimate yoga day trip. Practice near The Hills or Hammock Grove, then explore the slides and art installations.

Llamaste Tip: Pack a picnic and make a day of it!
