About
Unwind, explore, and elevate your senses on the High Line Yoga Walk—a one-of-a-kind experience that blends movement, mindfulness, and Manhattan’s most iconic elevated park. Begin your journey with a guided walking tour along the lush, art-filled path of the High Line, where stunning city views and hidden stories come to life. Along the way, pause for invigorating yoga flows in serene park spaces, designed to stretch your body and center your mind amid the buzz of the city.
Led by expert instructors and local guides, this energizing tour offers the perfect balance of urban adventure and peaceful reflection. Whether you’re a local looking for a fresh perspective or a visitor seeking something truly memorable, the High Line Yoga Walk is your passport to connection—body, mind, and skyline.
This tour is a non-traditional yoga experience as we focus mostly on standing poses and use Park elements (benches, walls, bridges) as props.
