What a day, Albany! 🧘‍♀️☀️

YogaPalooza 2026 was one for the books, and we’re still feeling all the love, energy, and connection from an incredible morning of movement together on North Pearl Street.

There’s something so special about seeing our community come together, roll out their mats, move, breathe, laugh, and share this practice right in the heart of downtown Albany.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this event so special, and to our amazing partners MVP, The Hollow, WEQX, and the Downtown Albany BID for helping bring it all to life.

Already counting down until we can do it again.
