Central Park Sunrise Power Walk with Yoga Stretches

An early start for people who would rather move than sit on a bus. Fit Tours NYC leads a 90-minute power walk to the best-known sights of Central Park, and at several of the prettiest stops the group pauses for yoga flows and stretches while the sun comes up over the skyline. Between the stretches the guide fills in the park's history, as the city wakes up around you. It is not a studio class. Most of the poses are standing ones, and the props are whatever the park provides: benches, low walls, the railings of a bridge. No mat is needed, and the pace is energetic without being a workout you have to train for; the tour suits all fitness levels. The group meets near the gilded General Sherman monument at Central Park South, Fifth Avenue and 59th Street, and the walk finishes back on Central Park South. Look for a guide in a black top with an orange Fit Tours NYC logo. Participants must be at least 14. One booking covers up to 15 people. The guiding is in English, and the price covers the guide; getting to and from the park is up to you. Wear clothes you can stretch in and shoes you can walk briskly in.
