Hundreds take part in yoga classes on bridge in Budapest
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Yoga instructors have held classes for over 600 practitioners on Budapest's Freedom Bridge in an effort to popularize the discipline and practice it in a unique location.
The bridge was temporarily closed for traffic due to renovations in June and has become a trendy hangout place since then, hosting parties and small concerts.
A dozen instructors held simultaneous classes there Tuesday, laying their mats on the tram tracks on the bridge that crosses the Danube River.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Instructor Judit Varga said they chose Freedom Bridge for their activities "because a special location has a special vibe. Since its closure, the bridge has become a community center, a place to make connections."
Participant Kinga Dory, 25, said the views of Budapest from the bridge gave the classes an added attraction.
