The annual Yoga on the Beach event during the month of July drew hundreds of participants to sunset yoga by the Manhattan Beach Pier. 

Sponsored by the Beach Cities Health District (BCHD) and the city of Manhattan Beach, the event was part of BCHD’s Summer Free Fitness Series.

Approximately 150 people attended each Monday (over three Monday nights in July). Participants had a chance to sample what BCHD has dubbed its “Mindful Yoga,” a hybrid class incorporating stress-relieving movements and mindfulness meditation techniques. The exercises were offered at a level where participants of all fitness abilities were able to join in.

The BCHD free fitness events continue with free Zumba at Alta Vista Park in Redondo Beach on August 9 and 16 from 6:30-7:30 p.m.
