Solstice in Times Square: Mind Over Madness Yoga 2028

On the summer solstice, the Times Square Alliance hosts Solstice in Times Square: Mind Over Madness Yoga, turning the Broadway pedestrian plazas in Midtown Manhattan into a free outdoor yoga venue for the longest day of the year. A full slate of free, hour-long classes runs from early morning through the evening, welcoming practitioners of all levels to practice mindfulness surrounded by the energy of Times Square. Well-known teachers lead the sessions, and complimentary yoga mats are typically available while supplies last. There is no charge to participate; attendees can reserve a spot in a specific class online ahead of time or take walk-up openings as space allows, and a live stream lets people follow along from anywhere. The free, all-are-welcome format makes it one of New York City's signature summer wellness traditions.
