BROOKLYN HEIGHTS \u2014 Montague Street<\/a> transformed into an outdoor wellness spa during Sunday\u2019s car-free Open Streets<\/a> event, which included Pilates, cardio and fitness classes, plus acupuncture, a hydration station, gluten-free goodies and more.<\/p>\n

Yoga enthusiasts stretched out on their exercise pads right in the middle of the street for classes offered by GTHR Yoga and Heatwise Yoga. (With a high of 84 degrees, all the midday yoga classes turned into \u201chot yoga,\u201d intentional or not.)<\/p>\n

Wundabar Pilates offered Pilates classes and afterward ran a plank contest. Two brothers, hoping to win a pair of socks for their mom, tried to beat the 12-minute record a previous contestant had logged.<\/p>\n

Monica Meneses relaxed in a lounge chair with her legs sheathed in air compression pads, holding her pup Shakespeare (a chihuahua mix) on her lap. Meneses said she was enjoying the free, 15-minute lymphatic pressure massage offered by Recoverie. \u201cIt feels relaxing,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s pressure but it\u2019s very soft \u2014 and it\u2019s a nice, breezy day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Montague Open Streets is presented by the street\u2019s merchants and the Montague Street Business Improvement District in collaboration with the Brooklyn Heights Association and the New York City Department of Transportation.<\/p>\n
