  This FREE weekly yoga class runs from May to September from 9.30am to 10.30am (the final session will be on Sunday 14 September).


There’s no need to book, just bring a mat or towel to practice on and enjoy the wonderful benefits of yoga in a beautiful outdoor setting.


You’ll find our lovely local teacher, Elise, in the open space near the Community Hub and café – just look out for the Park Yoga flag. 


To be kept up to date with the weekly classes, make sure you follow Park Yoga Ashford on Facebook.


These sessions have been brought to you by Ashford Borough Council and Park Yoga, a charity who provide free community yoga sessions around the UK.
