Free yoga on the beach - one of Beach Cities Health District's most popular offerings in Manhattan Beach - is back.

Starting Monday, July 12 at 6:30 p.m., and continuing on Monday nights in July, BCHD will offer a free yoga class on the beach, just south of the Manhattan Beach Pier. All levels are welcome. Participants are asked to bring just a mat or towel.

Registration is required. Those who have not registered ahead of time will need to fill out the forms on site.

The popular event returns after a year on hiatus during the pandemic. In the past, the free yoga sessions have drawn as many as 100 people.

Fully vaccinated participants will not be required to wear a mask. Participants who are not fully vaccinated should wear a mask. (Masks will be available for those who forget to bring one.) Participants will get their temperature checked and be asked verbal COVID-19 screening questions.

The Beach Cities Health District's Free Fitness program will continue in August with free Zumba on August 2, 9, and 16 at 6:30 p.m. at Julia Field, Alta Vista in Redondo Beach.
