My humiliation on the mat is made bearable only by the surroundings: the class is taking place in a splendid new park on the roof of a recently rebuilt bus terminal in the centre of San Francisco. As I try to follow the instructions that the teacher is drawling into her microphone, she politely trains her eyes on the sportier enthusiasts rather than my awkwardly contorted body. Find it at 425 Mission Street in San Francisco’s Yerba Buena district.Like all yoga classes I’ve dared to attend, this one is an utter disaster. Be sure to check it out from 6am to 8pm every day, or until 9pm on Sundays. Salesforce Park may be San Francisco’s newest public park, but it makes quite a statement. Remember, all of these events are free and open to the public! Check the park’s event calendar for updates, and be sure to follow on Instagram.
