Times Square, New York City

After going virtual in 2020, we're grateful to once more have had yogis unrolling their mats in person for the 19th annual Solstice in Times Square 2021, with seven free yoga classes throughout the day from fantastic teachers including Tim Tompkins, Douglass Stewart, Ruchika Lal (presented by the Consulate General of India, New York), Phyllicia Bonanno (presented OFFLINE by Aerie), Koya Webb, Crystal McCreary Yoga, and Alex Silver-Fagan. What better way to celebrate the longest day of the year than by finding your center in the center of Times Square?

The sun is sinking on the longest day of the year as Alex Silver-Fagan leads the final yoga class of the day, inspiring #SolsticeTSq participants to become their strongest selves.

Yogis in #TimesSquare are unrolling their yoga mats for Crystal McCreary's mindful #SolsticeTSq yoga class, starting now.

Koya Webb brings the love to #TimesSquare with the fifth #SolsticeTSq class of the day.

All bodies are summer ready! Chrissy King, creator of #TheBodyLiberationProject, is here to inspire in her wellness segment, just before @Phyllicia.Bonanno teaches the fourth #SolsticeTSq class of the day, presented by OFFLINE by Aerie.

We're celebrating #InternationalDayOfYoga one day early as Consul General Randhir Jaiswal of the Consulate General of India, New York joins us on the main stage! Afterwards, instructor Ruchika Lal takes over for an hour of holistic yoga. #SolsticeTSq
