Summertime means “Yoga Rocks the Park” (YRP) in many cities across the U.S. Since its launch in 2008, YRP has grown steadily from a small grassroots gathering in Denver, Colorado into one of the most beloved, weekly, family-friendly, summer yoga and live music wellness festivals in the U.S. “Yoga Rocks the Park is not just a weekly event, it’s a movement to bring a sense of peace and joy to communities throughout the country,” says Erik Vienneau, YRP’s founder. Erik and Alisha Hansen, a YRP teacher and healthy balance blog writer, talk about YRP and its impact on connecting communities through music, wellness, giving, and, of course, yoga.
