Part of a project initiated by street artist Josef Foos, hundreds of Street Yogis made of cork can be found practicing yoga on street signs in Berlin. In this challenge, you’ll go on an urban treasure hunt to find some Yogis. You will also practice a bit of yoga and get creative by making your own little Street Yogi.

I live in a big city and I see people like you every day: getting off of trains, bursting with enthusiasm; pouring into the hostels and out of the museums; rubbing your hands together and asking, “So, what’s next?” I have been in your shoes many times, because I love visiting new cities too. But to be honest, feeling like an outsider kind of drives me nuts.
