September in Dallas-Fort Worth means cooler mornings, a little more time outdoors, and plenty of ways to roll out your mat. From free community classes to animal-assisted fun and skill-building workshops, the area’s yoga calendar is packed. Here are the highlights to keep you stretching, breathing, and connecting all month long.

Free & community yoga

Community parks keep the spirit going all month. In Uptown, Yoga in the Park at Griggs Park happens every Saturday morning starting September 6. Addison Circle Park also hosts weekly free yoga gatherings on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings, making it easy to join a class no matter your schedule.

Downtown, Klyde Warren Park continues its tradition of hosting outdoor yoga, with instructor-led flows that mix skyline views with fresh air. And on September 28, YogaZama brings its monthly free session to Prism Health North Texas.

In Fort Worth, there's free community yoga at The Trailhead at Clearfork each Saturday morning.

Unique & playful experiences

Yoga doesn’t always have to be serious — sometimes it’s about goats, puppies, or even multi-sensory experiences. Goat Yoga Dallas pairs your poses with playful baby goats at venues in Frisco, McKinney, and Irving, while Uptown Yoga Dallas' Kitty Yoga class combines stretching with cuddling on September 13.

For nature enthusiasts, Hike x Yoga at Cedar Ridge Preserve on September 21 blends a guided hike with an outdoor flow among the trails.

And if you want something a little more immersive, The Bomb Factory in Dallas will transform into a sensory yoga experience on September 6 — expect visuals, music, and movement all in one.

Workshops & deep practice

For yogis who want to refine their practice, several workshops stand out this September. The Gentle Yoga Series at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden runs every Wednesday morning (September 3, 10, 17, 24). This four-part program emphasizes flexibility, balance, and mindful breathing in one of the city’s most serene settings.

On September 13, the Dallas Meditation Center hosts a “Meditation Basics for Beginners” workshop, offering a practical introduction to mindfulness. Indra's Grace in Weatherford is bringing peace to your home with an online Fall Equinox Healing Breathwork Circle on September 21 from 4-6:30 pm.

Meanwhile, the Dallas Iyengar Yoga Studio will host an intensive workshop September 25–28, blending in-studio and online learning for those ready to dive deeper into alignment and perception.

Stretch beyond the studio

If your practice thrives in unexpected places, September is full of opportunities. In Downtown Dallas, Yoga at The Eye at The Joule Hotel sets your mat beneath the city’s famous giant eyeball sculpture — a one-of-a-kind Instagram moment for just $25.

Hotel Drover guests in the Stockyards can also access ongoing yoga and wellness classes at the Stockyards Fitness Center, while PURE Yoga Texas offers its signature hot classes throughout the month, including a bilingual “Hot 90” in Spanish and English on September 13.

Whether you’re chasing goats, meditating in a garden, or just looking for a free way to get moving on the weekend, September’s yoga scene in Dallas-Fort Worth has something for every body. Grab your mat, mark your calendar, and breathe easy knowing there’s a class waiting for you.

Texans residents earn 11th highest income in U.S. for 2026, study says

The highest-earning Texans make over half a million dollars a year.

A new WalletHub study comparing income disparities across America has ranked Texas residents No. 11 on the list of states with the highest earning residents in the nation.

The report, "States Where People Have the Highest Income (2026)," analyzed U.S. Census Bureau income data in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The report evaluated the average annual income of the top five percent, the median annual household income, and the average annual income of the bottom 20 percent of residents in every state, all adjusted for the cost of living.

The report's data revealed the top five percent of Texans, the highest earners, make $520,378 on average yearly after adjusting for the cost of living. That's the seventh-highest income among the top five percent of earners nationwide.

Meanwhile, the median annual income of a Texas household is just under $76,000. The bottom 20 percent of Texas residents make $17,651 a year, the report found.

For additional context, the latest data from the Federal Reserve shows an American household's median yearly income is about $83,700. WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo also found that the highest earning 10 percent of individuals in the U.S. earn over 12 times more than those in the lowest-earning 10 percent, based on the latest Census data.

"By measuring the income of various percentiles against a state's median income, we can better identify where income disparities are more prevalent, which could help us better understand why residents of certain states struggle more to make ends meet," said Lupo.

Virginia is the state where residents earn the highest income in the U.S., WalletHub said. Based on the report's findings, the top five percent of Virginians make $545,097 on average per year after adjusting for the cost of living. The median annual income of a Virginia household comes out to $95,339, and the bottom 20 percent of residents make $19,671 annually on average.

Conversely, West Virginia is the state where people have the lowest income in the U.S. A West Virginia household makes a median annual income of $56,610, the third-lowest nationally, and the bottom 20 percent of residents make $13,260 on average per year, which is the fifth-lowest in the nation. The top five percent of West Virginians make $372,218 on average per year.

The top 10 states where residents have the highest income are:

No. 1 – Virginia
No. 2 – New York
No. 3 – New Jersey
No. 4 – Washington
No. 5 – Connecticut
No. 6 – Utah
No. 7 – Colorado
No. 8 – Minnesota
No. 9 – Illinois
No. 10 – Massachusetts
