Yoga in the Park

Yoga in the Park is Back!

We missed it so much last summer...but at long last it's back!

Yoga in the Park with Himalaya Yoga Valley returns for the summer at Fitzgerald’s Park and Ballincollig Regional Park, every Saturday at 10.00am, weather permitting, until Saturday, 04 September.

One of Cork’s most popular outdoor weekly events, Yoga in The Park in aid of Cork Simon has raised over €76,000 since the first summer time event seven years ago.

Classes will again take place in front of the bandstand in Fitzgerald’s Park from 10:00am to 11:15am every Saturday until 04 September.

The next Yoga in the Park is in: 2 days 20 hours 41 mins 6 secs

A few changes to note this year to keep everyone safe:

Weekly yoga sessions are limited to 200 people.
You'll need to book ahead at Himalaya Yoga Valley Online and make your donation - we won't be able to accept donations in person at the weekly sessions. Scroll to the end of the page to Schedule & Booking.

Other than that it'll be business as usual. Bring your sunblock, bring your yoga mat and leave your troubles behind at this family-friendly event. All ages and abilities are welcome.

50 years of Cork Simon

Anton Wallich-Clifford, a probation officer working in London in the fifties and sixties, founded the Simon Community in London. He travelled to Cork in 1971 to help found Cork Simon Community. A small group of volunteers immediately started a regular count of the number of people sleeping rough and established a nightly Soup Run - a service that continues to operate to this day.
