NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game will have a stretch even before the seventh inning: the sport’s first All-Star yoga party.

MLB said Tuesday there will be a pair of 60-minute sessions in San Diego on July 9 that will include music, body paint and bubbles. But there is a cost to participate: the sport said the pre-sale price through March 16 is $19.99 if signing up as part of a team of two or more.

There will be a 5-kilometer All-Star run on July 10, the day of the All-Star Futures Game. The All-Star Game is at Petco Park on July 12.
