Without a parade or other traditional public events in Boca, New Year's Day left a big empty space for Yoga Journey.
So founder Leslie Glickman decided to go big or go home. In fact, SomethingBig2015 is the signup site for "the biggest free outdoor public yoga class South Florida has ever seen," the announcement said.
Three weeks out, 350 people had already registered, no surprise to Glickman, who has seen yoga grow from mostly women enthusiasts to professional athletes.
"I've been teaching yoga in Boca for 20 years," said Glickman, who conducts the city's free outdoor weekly yoga class in Sanborn Square. "Sometimes I have as much as 150 people there."
It's bring your own yoga mat from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Jan. 1, a Thursday, in the Mizner Park Amphitheater in Boca Raton's Mizner Park. Check-in begins at 10 a.m. and Glickman will have as many as 18 teachers, her own staff and others, from 11 a.m. to noon. Live music will be provided by jazz harpist Scott Marischen, who is expected to bring three other musicians, she said.
