Yoga on the Lawn: Free Fitness Events at Hamlin's Homegrown Market

Start your Sunday with sun salutations, local shopping, and craft beer in the heart of Horizon West

Yoga on the Lawn at Hamlin Town Center Horizon West

Picture this: It's a sunny Sunday morning in Horizon West, and instead of scrolling through your phone on the couch, you're stretching into warrior pose on a lush green lawn, surrounded by fellow community members, with the aroma of fresh coffee and the sounds of live music drifting through the air. Sound like a dream? Welcome to yoga on the lawn at Hamlin's Homegrown Market.

Since launching in April 2024, the Homegrown in Horizon West market has quickly become one of the most beloved community gatherings in this fast-growing master-planned community. And the yoga sessions? They've become the can't-miss wellness event that's drawing residents from across Southwest Orange County to start their Sundays on the right foot (or in downward dog, as the case may be).

Here's everything you need to know about this unique fitness experience that perfectly captures the active, community-focused lifestyle that makes Horizon West such a special place to call home.

What Makes Yoga at Homegrown Market So Special?

Let's be honest: there are yoga studios everywhere in Central Florida. So what makes rolling out your mat on the lawn next to a brewery different from a regular class? It's all about the experience.

The yoga sessions at Homegrown Market take place on the Home State Brewing Co. lawn at 10 a.m. during market days. Led by instructors from Horizon Yoga Studio (formerly Warrior One Yoga Studio, which passed the torch to new ownership in 2024), these classes are designed for all levels. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or someone who thinks "namaste" is just something people say at the end of class, you're welcome here.

The drop-in fee is just $10, and here's where it gets fun: that includes a complimentary beer from Home State Brewing afterward. Post-workout hydration has never been more enjoyable. It's the kind of uniquely Florida experience that reminds you why you moved here in the first place.

When and Where: The Practical Details

The Homegrown in Horizon West market happens on the first and third Sunday of each month from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The yoga session kicks off at 10 a.m., giving you plenty of time to grab a coffee from Filigree Coffee beforehand or browse the artisan vendors after your practice.

Location and Parking

The market and yoga sessions take place adjacent to Home State Brewing Co. and Filigree Coffee at 16016 New Independence Parkway in Winter Garden (the Winter Garden mailing address, though it's squarely in the Horizon West community). Parking is available on the first floor of the Cinépolis parking garage or along the street. Pro tip: arrive a bit early on yoga days since the classes have grown increasingly popular.

What to Bring

  • Your yoga mat – The lawn is lovely, but you'll want your own mat
  • Water bottle – Florida mornings can get warm quickly
  • Sunscreen – You're outdoors, after all
  • Comfortable, breathable clothing – Think moisture-wicking fabrics
  • A towel – For wiping down afterward
  • Cash or card – For the $10 drop-in fee and vendor browsing

Beyond the Mat: The Full Homegrown Market Experience

While the yoga is fantastic, it's really just the beginning of what makes Homegrown Market such a great Sunday activity. Here's what else you can expect when you visit:

Live Music: Local musicians perform throughout the market, creating a relaxed, festival-like atmosphere perfect for unwinding after your yoga session. Grab that complimentary beer, find a spot on the patio, and soak in the tunes.

Artisan Vendors: From handcrafted jewelry to home goods, you'll find a curated selection of local artisans showcasing their work. It's a great opportunity to find unique gifts or treat yourself to something special.

Food Vendors: Work up an appetite during yoga? No problem. Local food vendors serve up everything from savory bites to sweet treats. The selection rotates, so there's always something new to try.

Cars and Coffee: Car enthusiasts, take note. From 8 to 11 a.m. on the rooftop level of the Cinépolis parking garage, Horizon West Cars and Coffee showcases an impressive lineup of vehicles. It's free to attend and a great pre-yoga activity if you arrive early.

Community Nonprofits: Each market spotlights a different local nonprofit organization, reinforcing the community-focused spirit that defines Horizon West. It's a chance to learn about the amazing work happening right in your backyard and find ways to get involved.
