Lots of Zen: Summer Yoga Series Launch

Following a strong community response to last summer’s pilot event, Choice Properties is bringing back Lots of Zen for a second year, expanding the wellness initiative into a FREE weekly outdoor yoga series running every Sunday through August 23. Presented in partnership with Bradford-based Breathe Hot Yoga, the program transforms shared outdoor space into a welcoming community hub focused on movement, mindfulness, and connection. The series officially launches on Sunday, May 31 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (rain date: Sunday, June 7) at 500 Holland St. W., featuring free outdoor yoga, wellness experiences, local vendors, smoothies, lawn games, and family-friendly programming.

What began as a one-day pilot event last summer quickly revealed a strong appetite for accessible outdoor wellness programming in Bradford, inspiring the expansion into a full summer-long series for 2026. At the heart of the launch celebration is a free all-levels outdoor yoga class from 9:30 a.m. – 10:15 a.m., led by Natasha Richards from Breathe Hot Yoga. Whether attendees are seasoned yogis or total beginners, the guided class is designed to help participants stretch, breathe, and reset outdoors in a relaxed, approachable setting.

Attendees participating in yoga are encouraged to arrive between 9:00 a.m. – 9:15 a.m. for check-in and bring a yoga mat, water bottle, and comfortable clothing. The first 30 yoga participants will receive a complimentary gift from Choice Properties (participants must take part in the yoga class to receive a gift). Yoga participants will also receive a complimentary post-class smoothie from Stacked. Beyond yoga, the launch event will feature a curated mix of drop-in wellness experiences and local community vendors, creating an inclusive morning designed for residents of all ages.
