How Does Yoga at the Zoo Support the Detroit Zoological Society (DZS) Mission?
How Does Yoga at the Zoo Support the Detroit Zoological Society (DZS) Mission?
By attending events hosted by the Detroit Zoo, you are directly supporting the DZS mission of creating meaningful connections between people, animals and the natural world so all can thrive. Your event admission provides support so that the DZS can continue to demonstrate extraordinary leadership in conservation, animal welfare, education and environmental sustainability.
Not only is yoga a healthy form of exercise, but it is also a chance to connect with your surroundings. By focusing each yoga session on a particular habitat, you are directly connecting with the animal stories at the Detroit Zoo.
At the Detroit Zoo, animals have the freedom to decide where they want to spend time within their habitats — whether indoors, outdoors or in hidden areas. Although habitats will be open during your visit, some animals may choose to stay out of sight. Thank you for understanding and supporting our commitment to providing the highest level of care for the animals at the Zoo.
Yoga sessions are coed and limited to guests ages 13 years and older. Guests under the age of 18 require parental consent to participate. Guests must be at least 16 years old to attend without a parent or guardian.
Yoga at the Zoo is a rain or shine event. All locations are subject to change.
