Program Spotlight: Sunrise Yoga
Early on Tuesday summer mornings, just before St. Louis fully wakes up, something remarkable happens in Kiener Plaza...
Hundreds of neighbors, coworkers, students, and visitors roll out their mats, face the Arch and Old Courthouse, and move through a coordinated yoga session together. By the time class wraps, strangers have become familiar faces, and this small slice of downtown feels a little more like home.
This is Sunrise Yoga, and it’s quickly become one of St. Louis’ favorite community traditions.
Presented by BJC Health Care, weekly Sunrise Yoga is back in Kiener Plaza through September 29. Classes run for just under an hour and are designed to be welcoming and accessible to all levels, even those who have never stepped foot on a mat.
What began as a small weekly program has blossomed to regularly draw 200 or more participants each session. It’s a testament to what’s possible when free, inclusive health and wellness programming meets one of the most iconic backdrops in the country.
And that’s the point. Sunrise yoga exists because we at Gateway Arch Park Foundation believe wellness and community should be available to everyone. Thanks to the generosity of our members, donors, and sponsors, this program remains completely free and open to all.
Join us in Kiener Plaza this May and see for yourself what hundreds of St. Louisans already know: there’s no better way to kick off a Tuesday. Whether you come alone or bring a few friends, you’ll leave with a sense of connection that’s hard to find anywhere else. We hope to see you on the mat this summer!
