The event was a success!

Here are a few shots off my phone.
We brought out four seven hundred watt yorkville speakers and four 500w qsc hpr121i powered monitors. They were positioned around the park so that people could choose to do yoga where they felt most comfortable.
The instructors used wireless headset lavalieres while a band played soothing music in the background.
Very nice.
