Another great spot for exercise enthusiasts looking to embrace Eugenes crunchygranola vibes is Owen Rose Garden (300 N Jefferson St.). Here one can take part in TaiChi classes or practice Yoga while surrounded by beautiful roses and stunning views of River Road Park..

For those who want to go beyond traditional workouts, Sadhana Yoga Studio(1578 Coburg Rd #201), offers aerial yoga classes which involve using hammocks suspended from above to stretch out your muscles.
