Seattle Center Summer Fitness Returns With Free Yoga and Zumba Classes

Seattle Center offers free late morning and early evening outdoor fitness sessions, Wednesdays, July 7-Sept. 8, at Seattle Center.

The Gentle Yoga and Zumba classes provide easy-to-follow instruction and movement, where participants may stretch, strengthen, destress and delight in a fun, full body workout. The weekly classes are open to all ages and abilities, and there are no registration requirements.

Here are the Summer Fitness options:

Gentle Yoga, 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., Exhibition Hall Lawn.

Wear comfortable clothing and bring along a yoga mat and towel.

Zumba Class, 6:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m., Fisher Pavilion Roof, invites participants to join in an hour-long, high energy workout party that makes use of uncomplicated choreography to take them on a dancing journey around the world through Latin, world rhythms, West African, belly dance, pop and classic rock music.
