Breathe in. Breathe out. If ever there was a summer when all of us needed yoga, this is it. June 21 is the International Day of Yoga. Perhaps, as in years past, there will be outdoor yoga in Phoenix Park to celebrate the occasion – albeit with six feet between mats and the wearing of masks. Amy Erickson, owner of Latitude 44 Yoga Studio (313 E. Madison St., lattitude44yoga.com), which is now open, has posted new requirements related to COVID-19, including a short video focused on the health and safety of yogis and yoginis. The Yoga Room of Eau Claire (2839 Mall Drive, theyogaroomec.com) is also open with many of its popular classes offered in person and virtually. Robin Brauner of Blossoming Moon Massage & Yoga offers virtual Mindful Yoga classes on Mondays and Fridays at 8am (register at blossomingmoon.com). And Ingrid Schaller of Ingrid Schaller Wellness teaches virtually Mindful Strength (11am Tuesdays) and Integrated Yoga (9am Thursdays) at ingridschaller.com. So pick a class, center yourself, and enjoy.
