a fond memory of visiting beijing many years ago is all the old folks doing tai chi in various parks and empty lots around the city at like 7am. it made the city feel warm and alive. where i live (in LA), you see folks out jogging and walking their dog at that time, but it’s mostly all solitary activity.

In some of the large American cities where I've lived, the parks are populated by groups of Lululemons doing yoga in the morning. Some cities, like Chicago and Houston, even organize the events.

Considering the lifestyle I remember from my L.A. days, I'd say there's probably a yoga group in a park not too far from where you live.

I didn’t know this was common! I see this many mornings in a parking lot in the middle of Denver.

yah, to be fair, i’m sure it does happen here in LA too (in chinatown, for instance), but i don’t see it everywhere like it seemed in beijing.
