Yogis continued their practice at Yonge-Dundas Square despite heavy rainfall (PHOTOS)

Toronto’s Yoga in the Square kicked off Monday afternoon, despite Environment Canada’s severe thunderstorm warning.

And shortly after the free yoga class started, dark, menacing clouds rolled through Toronto, followed by what felt like a short-lived monsoon.

But even a brief rainstorm couldn’t stop these yogis from perfecting their downward dogs, as the class continued as the rain poured down.

From the photos and videos shared online, a dozen yogis can be seen completing their poses despite the heavy rainfall.
