When I lived in Japan one of the most serene places and also very parklike was the local cemetery. Yes, it sounds weird but also very serene and peaceful. I’m sure the kids yoga classes I teach will eat this up!

i actually attended that first “yoga in a cemetery” class at the hollywood forever cemetery. while it initially sounds creepy — especially since we started our practice right around sunset — it really wasn’t. we were located in a big grassy area far from the tombstones, right along the wall which serves as a “projection screen” for the evening movie series held there every summer (of course, one may not realize that the wall is actually the side of a building containing a whole bunch of crypts!). our class was taught by daniel overberger of runyon canyon yoga fame, and honestly, it was just like we were having our usual practice with him in the park. there were no werewolves, no zombies — just us and the stars and the evening breeze. and a bunch of bodies laying in corpse pose when it was all over
