Bostons historic ballpark will open its gates Monday, September 23, for two yoga sessions benefiting the Red Sox Foundation.

The two yoga sessions, taught by Equinox instructors, are scheduled for sunrise and sunset and each can host up to 222 participants along the warning track of the field.

The classes, presented by Equinox and Anue by New Balance, are geared toward yogis with all levels of experience, but all attendees must bring their own mat.

Each participant must raise a minimum of $250 for the foundations Red Sox Foundations Red Sox Scholars and RBI Youth Baseball & Softball Programs.
