We’re thrilled to announce that Yoga in the Park is back for summer 2025, and you’re invited to be part of this incredible community tradition.

Every Saturday mornings, join us in beautiful Fitzgerald Park for a feel-good morning of movement, connection, and giving back—all in support of Cork Simon Community.

Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or just beginning your journey, these all-levels, donation-based classes are the perfect way to enjoy yoga outdoors while supporting an amazing local cause.

What Is Yoga in the Park?

Yoga in the Park is part of our long-running Yoga Gives Back Community Program at Himalaya Yoga Valley. Over the last decade, this initiative has helped us raise over €80,000 for charities in Cork and beyond.

These outdoor classes are not only a way to practice yoga in a vibrant, natural setting—they’re also a chance to contribute to the essential work of Cork Simon Community, who provide vital services to people experiencing homelessness.

 

Event Details

  • When: Every Saturday from 21 June – 30 August 2025
  • Time: 10:00 – 11:00 AM
  • Where: Fitzgerald Park, in front of the bandstand
  • Cost: Donation-based (all proceeds go to Cork Simon Community)

Why It Matters
