Very New York: sommarsolstånd på Times Square

NEW YORK Midsommarfirande à la New York, med yoga mitt i Midtown! Kan tilläggas att Broadway i kvarteren kring Times Square faktiskt blivit gågata. Det ser otroligt märkligt och häftigt ut. Nedanstående är inklippt från ett pressmeddelande.

För övrigt kan jag meddela att det ösregnar över Manhattan. Riktigt svenskt midsommarväder...

BACKGROUND: THE TIMES SQUARE ALLIANCE will celebrate the Summer Solstice this Sunday, June 21, with the seventh annual “SOLSTICE IN TIMES SQUARE,” featuring free outdoor “Mind over Madness” yoga sessions. Experienced and beginning yoga enthusiasts will attempt to find tranquility and transcendence in the midst of the urban energy of the world’s most commercial and frenetic place at a time of nerve-wracking economic uncertainty. Over 500 yogis are expected to attend each session throughout the day on Duffy Square at the intersection of Broadway and 7th Avenue between 46 & 47th Streets in the heart of Times Square.

Between classes, Yoga Journal writer/instructor Alanna Kaivalya will share ideas on how to survive spiritually in the greatest city in the world.

“Solstice in Times Square” is being presented by Rachel’s Wickedly Delicious. The first 1,500 yoga participants will receive a free yoga mat from Rachel’s Wickedly Delicious, plus a gift bag full of treats from The Vitamin Shoppe and other Solstice partners, including coupons for discounted or free classes from yoga studios throughout the New York area.
