The 75-minute Yin Yoga session is led by a trauma-informed instructor. Queer Yin Yoga sessions are held at 3:30 p.m. every Saturday. Queer Candlelit Vinyasa Yoga is held Wednesday, Aug. 5, allowing participants to find their zen in a candlelit space. Each session will be held at 8:30 p.m. every Wednesday.

Michelle Tritten of Hello Critter hosts rejuvenating goat yoga events around Los Angeles. Her crew of Nigerian dwarf goats (including Roscoe, Floyd, Billy, Burlap, Fanny, Lil’bit, Gigi, Felix and Hansel & Gretel) are playful and loving, with a fondness for riding on your back when you’re in plank pose or child’s pose (we’ve flowed with them, so we know). On Sunday, Aug. 9 — as part of Gloria Molina Grand Park’s Wellness Break Wild Card Series — Hello Critter will lead two back to back (baaaack to baaaack) 45-minute goat yoga sessions outdoors, in the downtown L.A. park. The event — at which free yoga mats will be provided — is open to all ages and experience levels, though Hello Critter recommends participants weigh at least 75 pounds. Arrive 30 minutes prior to class. If sold out, join the waitlist, which is updated regularly as new spots open up. The Wellness Break Wild Card Series also puts on 45-minute yoga classes every Wednesday and Friday, noon-12:45 p.m. But flowing with goats is special. Goat Yoga: 4-6 p.m., Sun., Aug. 9; Gloria Molina Grand Park, 200 N. Grand Ave., downtown L.A.

The California African American Museum in Exposition Park will offer a wellness combo on Sunday, Aug. 9: that is, a 60-minute yoga session followed by a 60-minute sound bath to unwind after flowing. Yoga and meditation instructor, Constance Hartwell, will lead the former; Sol & Sound, the latter. The yoga class is open to all levels, including beginners, but participants must reserve a spot and bring their own mats for both sessions, which will be held inside the museum’s spacious, airy lobby. While there, check out the exhibitions. One of them, “Free and Queer: Black Californian Roots of Gay Liberation,” explores how culture, across print, visual art and performance, has interpreted and shaped Black queer social and political movements. Noon-2 p.m., 600 State Drive, Exposition Park, Los Angeles.
