Free Yoga in Woodruff Park will be open to the public every Saturday at 10 a.m. through September 27. Made possible by Central Atlanta Progress, a private nonprofit community development organization, and AMADOR, an Atlanta community yoga program, this event invites the community to gather for a yoga practice led by Malik Khalid and a rotating list of instructors.

Designed to celebrate movement, mindfulness and self-expression, the program aligns with AMADOR’s mission to make somatic practices more accessible in Atlanta. Khalid, AMADOR’s founder, worked to expand wellness opportunities through partnerships with organizations like Central Atlanta Progress, Liforme, and lululemon.

“Bringing Free Yoga to Woodruff Park feels like a full-circle moment as an Atlanta native,” Khalid says. “There’s something powerful about moving together in an open space, surrounded by the energy of the city and the support of a like-minded community.”

With a focus on inclusivity and well-being, the event offers participants of all experience levels a chance to engage in self-care while strengthening their connection to the community. More than just a yoga class, says Khalid, it serves as a transformative space where stress is turned into strength.
