South Street Seaport Museum announces the August date for Vinyasa on a Vessel, August 17, at 9:30am. Join the museum for the seasonal favorite that brings yoga to the deck of the historic tall ship Wavertree. Start your Sunday with a mindful and invigorating 60-minute practice that is both accessible and challenging for all skill levels. Tickets are free. Registration is required. seaportmuseum.org/vinyasa
Each session is peppered with information about the vessel itself and playlists are thoughtfully developed to reflect the serenity of the water and lively seasonal themes. August will feature a water and maritime themed playlist to celebrate Summer.
Classes are free, and advance registration is required. Anyone ages 12 and up is welcome. This event takes place rain or shine. In the event of rain, the event is moved from the main deck to an indoor location on the ship.
Please bring your own yoga mat; classes take place on the metal deck of a ship, and a mat will help with your practice. Capacity is limited; claim your space before each class is full!
If the class is at capacity at the time of registration, you are encouraged to try our in-person cancellation line, starting 10 minutes before each class.
About the 1885 Tall Ship Wavertree
Wavertree was built at Southampton, England, in 1885 and, after a 24-year sailing career and circumnavigating the globe at least three times, is now the last remaining iron-hulled three-masted full-rigged cargo ship. Today, Wavertree is visited by guests of all ages from around the globe and serves as the centerpiece of the “Street of Ships” at the Seaport Museum. She was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 13, 1978 and symbolizes the profound influence of sailing ships, their intrepid sailors, and the bustling waterfront in shaping New York City into a modern metropolis. As a historic vessel with a fascinating past, Wavertree embodies the rich maritime heritage that played a pivotal role in transforming South Street into the vibrant heart of “Where New York Begins.” seaportmuseum.org/about-wavertree
