Outdoor yoga gives you a unique opportunity to move and meditate while enjoying the serenity of the sky, warmth of the sun, and sensation of the breeze. So, don your favorite yoga threads and join us on the mat for a journey inward through a yummy yoga experience of breath, balance, and bliss. View our calendar for upcoming classes and locations.

The Class: Sweet Flow Yoga

A mindful vinyasa practice, Sweet Flow brings attention to connecting breath and movement. The class is an active hour of yoga that incorporates sun salutations, standing poses, hip-openers, seated poses, twists, and back bends - ending with a few luscious minutes in Savasana (final resting pose) along with a lavender temple massage. Through regular practice, you'll enjoy increased flexibility, strength, balance, and relaxation. All levels welcome.

Our classes are held at various parks in the Buckhead, Midtown, Smyrna, and Vinings areas. Past locations have included Tanyard Creek Park, Circle 75 Park, and various Chattahoochee River Parks. Check our calendar for upcoming classes and locations.

The Usual Questions:

What are the class fees? 
These classes are now donation-based. That means that you can pay as much or as little as you'd like. Cash donations are accepted at the end of class and are not mandatory.

When should I arrive? 
In order to avoid disrupting class (and causing yourself undue stress), plan to arrive on time (5-10 minutes prior to the class start time) to sign-in and prepare for a great practice.

What should I wear?
Wear comfortable attire that will stretch with you and allow for a full range of body movements (yoga pants or shorts and a fitted t-shirt or yoga top). Avoid wearing clothing that is too baggy. Typically yoga is practiced with bare feet.

What should I bring?
To practice yoga, all you really need is you. To make your practice more comfortable, we suggest you bring a yoga mat, a towel and/or a blanket, water, and sunscreen.

The Teacher: Kristen Leigh

Kristen Leigh, CYT-240
As a student of yoga for several years, in 2009, Kristen Leigh trained in Hatha Yoga and became a Certified Yoga Teacher (CYT-240) and launched Sweet Escape Yoga in order to organize fun and creative yoga classes and events in Metro Atlanta.

Kristen's Yoga Philosophy 
"Yoga is all about balance, mindfulness, and tranquility. I love that Yoga, with its attention on breathing and its quiet, precise movements, can draw focus away from a busy, chaotic day and more toward the calming moment as one moves the body through poses that require balance and concentration. I like teaching others to move in a way that brings awareness of abilities and limitations and encourages peace within them. I believe Yoga is best when incorporated into your entire day - not only on the mat, but as you go through life - a few cleansing breaths after a stressful meeting, and modified tree pose while waiting in line, or a few minutes of meditation before bed. My classes focus on traditional poses with a little flow and variety to keep it fun."
