Watch Summer Solstice Yoga In Times Square LIVE

Happy Summer Solstice! See? All of your sun salutations have paid off, it’s summer!

If you can’t make it out to celebrate the solstice with yoga in the middle of Times Square, we invite you to take a gander at the livestream video displaying about 15,000 sun-loving yogis funneling all day long through one of the busiest and flashiest intersections joining together in madness yoganess in the event’s 11th year. (hint: if you’re not a yoga practitioner, you may want avoid Times Square at all costs)

Watch it live below and you can yoga along. TIP: When there isn’t a class you can listen to the tranquil sounds of traffic+thousands of chattering yogis+random interviews and bits of conversations. Ah, New York City.
