Harrisburg riverfront
What better way to take in the view of the Susquehanna than while in a state of zen?
This summer, Harrisburg’s commUNITY Yoga Space is hosting outdoor yoga classes by the river in hopes of spreading that peacefulness around.
“We have the beautiful water so close by,” said commUNITY Yoga owner Erika Malorzo. “The river brings some calmness to yoga, as well as being outside.”
Malorzo started the riverside classes during the pandemic as a social-distancing-friendly alternative to her regular indoor classes at her N. 3rd St. studio location. However, the popularity of the classes made her continue hosting them.
commUNITY Yoga practices a pay-what-you-can model, with a goal to make classes accessible to all who want to join. As Malorzo has felt the benefits of yoga, she wants to spread that feeling to anyone who may be interested, regardless of their economic situation.
“I don’t think self-care should have to stop because you can’t pay for it,” she said.
The one-hour-long summer courses began in May and will run through the end of August or early September. Yoga sessions are held on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, at locations along the riverfront on N. Front Street.
Summer classes are open to any community member, and movement modifications will be demonstrated for beginners to yoga. Registration is not required.
commUNITY Yoga also offers weekly indoor classes in the studio.
Malorzo noted the many benefits of yoga including physical, mental and social wellbeing.
“Yoga benefits your body and gives you a piece of mind,” Malorzo said. “I hope the classes provide connection to other community members and encourage people in the community to come to the beautiful river we have.”
commUNITYYoga Space is located at 1423 N. 3rd St., Harrisburg. For more information about summer classes and the schedule, visit their website.
