This summer, Ballpark Village will host its second annual yoga series, adding crossfit classes to the mix. All of the sessions are free and will take place outdoors on select Wednesdays and Saturdays at the Busch II Infield. More than 14,000 square feet of space will leave plenty of room to stretch. Local instructors from studios across the bi-state area will lead each one-hour class, which are structured to suit both experienced fitness buffs and beginners.
“I like to start with sun salutations to get the body warmed up,” says Bluebird Yoga co-owner Ellen Niedringhaus, who will be teaching two sessions this summer. “We’ll do some balancing poses and a lot of standing poses that build strength and heat. The goal is for people to leave feeling great and encouraged to continue their practice.”

Need a little motivation? Lululemon Athleta, a yoga sponsor, will be giving away one free tank top at each class.
“The hope is to introduce the St. Louis community to yoga and help build awareness of Ballpark Village,” says Niedringhaus.
The summer yoga and crossfit series is open to all ages and fitness levels. Paid parking is available at the Ballpark Village parking lot. Below is a full schedule of events.
