Mind Over Madness Yoga

and Creativity at the Crossroads

WHEN: Wednesday, June 21, 7am-dusk

WHERE: In the center of Times Square

ADMISSION: Free. First 100 yoga participants will receive free Solstice t-shirt.

The Times Square Alliance and Local 802 AFM will celebrate the arrival of the summer on the first day of the season, Wednesday, June 21, with SOLSTICE IN TIMES SQUARE, a dawn-till-dusk celebration of the Summer Solstice on the year's longest day. The day will feature free yoga in the heart of Times Square with small-scale musical performances by Local 802, the largest union of professional musicians in the world.

The day will kick off with "Mind Over Madness" yoga from 7am-8am on Military Island (intersection of Broadway and 7th Avenue between 43rd and 44th Streets). Scores of yoga enthusiasts will descend on Times Square, lead by Levitate Yoga owner Connie Chan and Summer Solstice event co-creator Douglass Stewart, in a search for tranquility and transcendence at the center of New York's most frenetic and commercial space. Participation is free and open to all, so passersby will join in the fun and watch this great Karmic battle between peace of mind and urban madness.

The celebration will continue until 8pm with live musicians sponsored by Local 802 performing throughout the Times Square area.

Mind Over Madness Yoga and Creativity at the Crossroads are both part of SOLSTICE IN TIMES SQUARE, a festival celebrating summer, sun and creativity. For more details on this unique event, click here.
