Celebrate wellness, connection, and a great local cause at Yoga in the Park 2025, a free, family-friendly event on Saturday, June 21st at Harlinsdale Farm, on the lawn in front of the Hayes House in Franklin, TN. Presented by Friends of Franklin Parks, City of Franklin Parks, Be Well Mel, and the Yoga in the Park Committee, this annual gathering is part of a global celebration honoring International Day of Yoga (IDY), a movement that promotes unity, mindfulness, and well-being. IDY aims to raise awareness of the many benefits of yoga, and Yoga in the Park reflects that mission by inviting the community to come together for movement, meditation, and connection in a beautiful outdoor setting. This year’s event supports Ellie G’s Dream World, Franklin’s first inclusive playground, located at the new Pearlene M. Bransford Complex (“The Pearl”) on Carothers Parkway. Named in memory of Ellie Grace Castro, the playground is designed so children of all abilities can play together in a shared, accessible space.

What to Expect

Attendees of Yoga in the Park 2025 can expect a morning filled with engaging and inclusive wellness activities. The event will feature a yoga sampler class led by experienced instructors, offering a variety of styles suitable for all levels. A guided meditation and sound bath will provide a calming and restorative experience. Families can enjoy story time yoga, and explore the dedicated Kids Zone, designed with younger participants in mind.  Wellness vendors will be onsite for community shopping, offering health-focused products and services. A community hour will give attendees the chance to connect with others and support local wellness brands. Plus, the first 25 pre-registered guests will receive complimentary swag bags!
