Due to the pandemic, most YIP groups did not meet in 2020. Groups are autonomous, so it was the choice of each one's leadership. Most groups are also foregoing the 2021 season since there is some general consensus that local studios need time to recover from losses in 2020. To see the status of your local group, find its link on this page. The links go to Facebook groups, so one must have Facebook to learn more.

WHO WE ARE
We are a loose affiliation of volunteer groups that provide free yoga in our wonderful public parks or similar settings. We call ourselves YIP, the abbreviation for Yoga in the Park.
YIP IS FREE
No money passes hands for yoga. However, each group can fund raise through selling something like shirts or asking for donations to get needed equipment. But you will never be required to spend any money or donate.
NO NEARBY GROUP, THEN START ONE?
If you do not see a group near you, then please start one by becoming a Founder. You don't have to be an instructor or yoga superstar to start a group since we use a mix of videos to guide the sessions and if possible guest instructors. Here is a link to the Founders group in Facebook. Feel free to join it and ask any of us about what being a Founder is like and what the commitment is to get a new group started.
Founders Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/YIPOklahoma/
The other groups will do their best to help your group get started with videos, mats, blocks and everything else you need. We will road trip to visit your new group, which is part of the fun of having an affiliation across the state!
CONTACT US
To contact us, click on the links in the drop down menu. Each group maintains their own page.
At this point we have a very lean organization to keep things simple. Each group has a elected Director and the Affiliation has an overall Director with S. L. Starling, the original Founder of YIP. We are not big on titles and no one has any power over others. Again, we are all volunteers. So be nice!
Namaste!
