Third Annual 'Yoga on Midway' Draws Hundreds

Hundreds of yoga enthusiasts recently started their Saturday morning with healthy stretching exercises aboard the flight deck of the famed USS Midway in San Diego's Embarcadero area.

The yogis participated in the third annual "Yoga on the Midway," a free hour-long class presented by Scripps Health and the Downtown San Diego Partnership and led by Yoga One.

The annual outdoor event is part of the Scripps/Downtown Partnership's "Healthy Living in the City" program that encourages downtown residents to explore healthy options in their neighborhood.

The event had a superhero theme this year to coincide with the start of Comic-Con at the nearby San Diego Convention Center. Some participants showed up in costume, adding to the fun and spirited mood of the day.
