Hilary Steinberg, Jaya Yoga Studio, Clarks Summit, and the Marketplace at Steamtown will sponsor Yoga on the Roof at 9 a.m. Saturday, July 4, on the roof of the Electric City Parking Garage, 305 Spruce St. in downtown Scranton.
The 13th annual event includes one hour of yoga accompanied by live music played by Philharmonic musicians. The yoga practice will be followed by treats, compliments of Maximum Zen. This event serves as a launch for Independence Day celebrations and benefits the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic’s educational and outreach programs.
Leading the yoga practice will be Jaya Yoga’s owner, Hilary Steinberg, and instructor Lily Mackarey. Featured musicians will be Leah Valenches, Peter Brubaker, and Gabriel Schaff.
Participants are invited to pre-register at www.NEPAphil.org until Thursday, July 2. Walk-ins are welcome. All are asked to show up by 8:45 a.m. on July 4, rain or shine.
A donation of $20 is requested. The Philharmonic projects benefiting from Yoga on the Roof are educational programs to meet the needs of students from toddlers to serious high school music students: “Meet the Instruments”, “Once Upon an Orchestra”, “Young People’s Concerts”, and a juried mentoring program for talented high school music students.
Pre-registration is also available by calling the Philharmonic at 570.270.4444. For additional information about Yoga on the Roof, please contact hilary@jayayogastudio.com.
