Yoga in Lucknow
Lucknow's yoga is built around its parks and colonies. Every morning, groups gather in large green spaces such as Janeshwar Mishra Park and along the Gomti, and many neighbourhoods have a teacher who leads a daily batch. On 21 June 2017 the city hosted the national International Day of Yoga event, with about 51,000 participants.
Alongside the park batches, Lucknow has studios and gyms in its newer areas, teachers who come home for private sessions, and a growing number of online classes.
