Free Park Yoga sessions are returning to East Park in Wolverhampton, giving residents a free weekly way to start Sunday outdoors.
The sessions run every Sunday from 7 June until 13 September, from 9.30am to 10.30am, at East Park. They are free to attend, open to all ages and abilities, and there is no need to book in advance.
People planning to join should bring a yoga mat if they have one. A towel can be used instead.
Sunday sessions at East Park until September
The weekly outdoor classes are being held by the national charity Park Yoga, with support from the City of Wolverhampton Council and Active Black Country.
The set-up is straightforward: arrive at East Park for the 9.30am start, join the group session, and stay for the full hour if comfortable. The source notice describes the sessions as beginner friendly, with flexibility for people who may not want or be able to do every movement.

The sessions are part of a community wellness initiative built around being active outdoors. For Wolverhampton residents, the practical appeal is that the event does not require a paid membership, a booking slot or specialist experience.
Beginner-friendly movement in an outdoor setting
Park Yoga Instructor Deb Sahota said the sessions are designed so participants can take part at their own level.
“Sessions are beginner friendly and our participants don’t have to do all the movements – quite often we’ll have yogis who lie or sit in nature for the hour,” she said. “Whatever your ability, we’d love as many people as possible from your community group to join us.”
That approach matters for people who may be unsure about joining a yoga class for the first time. The event brief confirms the sessions are open to all ages and abilities, and the instructor’s comments make clear that taking a rest, sitting or simply being present outdoors is within the spirit of the session.
The format also removes some of the usual barriers around trying a fitness activity. There is no entry price listed, no advance booking requirement, and the only equipment note is to bring a mat if available, or a towel if not.
Council support for active wellbeing
Councillor Obaida Ahmed, Cabinet Member for Health, Wellbeing and Community, said yoga can support mood, stress levels, muscle strength and flexibility.
“We hope these sessions will encourage people to take the time to look after their own wellbeing through being active and enjoying the benefits of being outdoors, and I’d encourage everyone to join in the fun,” she said.
The programme is being supported locally by the City of Wolverhampton Council and Active Black Country alongside Park Yoga. The source notice frames the sessions as a way for people to look after their wellbeing while using a public park setting.
For community groups, families, beginners and people returning to gentle activity, the useful detail is the low-friction format: a recurring Sunday morning slot, a public venue, and an hour-long session that does not demand prior experience.
