Give & Get Fit
Since 2014, Urban Solace Yoga & Wellness has been a proud supporter of the Rhonda Walker Foundation’s Give & Get Fit day with a Riverfront Yoga session in Milliken State Park. In 2020 and 2021 we offered fun, virtual experiences aboard the Urban Oasis (our floating studio).

Special thanks to our community wellness friends who joined US for another awesome season of fun and fitness on the best riverwalk in the nation.
This outdoor wellness program was sponsored by our partners at the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy as part of their annual Winter at Valade programming which featured a special curated winter stroll along the riverfront - with new routes each week. Fitness friends were also encouraged to stay and play at Valade Park with sledding, hot chocolate, seasonal events, and prizes.
We hope to see you next year!
