Kundalini Yoga is also called the Yoga of Awareness. It combines the physical practice of Asanas with Pranayama (breathing) and Meditation/Chanting – it targets the whole body system (nervous system, glands, mental faculties, chakras) to develop awareness and consciousness, strength and flexibility.

Everybody is welcome, no previous knowledge of Yoga is necessary. Please bring a Yoga mat and possibly a blanket and a shawl.

Shortly after she moved to New York, from her native Switzerland in 1988, Ursula Scherrer started exploring different styles of Yoga for her own spiritual and physical well being before she did her first teacher training in 2002 and has been teaching ever since. In addition to her skills and expertise as a Yoga teacher (Hatha and Kundalini Yoga) she is also a Pranayama Healer and certified Qi Gong instructor.

Join Sharyn Hahn to start your day with a morning yoga practice of Sun Salutations and a Vinyasa flow! You will experience luxurious stretching warm-ups, empowering standing poses, and energizing breath work as we align the movements with the inhales and exhales. You will feel more awake, strong, balanced, and positive as a result of this time spent on the mat. Sun Salutations and warrior poses stimulate the seratonin in your brain (the “happy hormone) and improve self-esteem! You will be ready for anything that meets you as your day unfolds.

We will listen to music and set an intention for the week at the start of each class.

$5 donation requested. Bring a yoga mat if you have one. There are some props at the store for up to 5 people. You may bring your own coffee or tea.

PLEASE REGISTER IN ADVANCE FOR EACH WEEKLY CLASS BY EMAILING SHARYN no later than 9 PM the night before at suryyama2018@gmail.com. Add Sun Salutations in the subject line.

Go back in time on this “Drunk History” tour, where you can raise a glass in three iconic gay bars in Greenwich Village! We will start at one of the oldest gay bars in New York City, a thriving spot then and now. Next, we will take a stop at “the Birth of the Gay Rights Movement” and talk about the impact of the shot glass heard around the world. We will end at the “#1 Lesbian Bar in the U.S.” This is a great way to meet other people, make friends in NYC, and enjoy some drinks, and learn about the LGBTQ history of the Village!

The Icarus Project NYC is a local chapter of http://theicarusproject.net, a radical mental health a support network and media project by and for people who experience the world in ways that are often diagnosed as mental illness. We envision a new culture that allows the space and freedom for exploring different states of being, and recognizes that breakdown can be the entrance to breakthrough. We aim to create a language that is so vast and rich that it expresses the infinite diversity of human experiences. Our monthly workshops explore these themes through peer-based discussion, guest presentations, art, forum theater and more. For more information about this month’s event see: http://nycicarus.org

Join us for a book launch and discussion on Silvia Federici’s two new books. Witches, Witch-Hunting, and Women is feminist call to arms providing new ways of understanding the methods in which women resist victimization and offers a reminder that reconstructing the memory of the past is crucial for the struggles of the present. Re-enchanting the World: Feminism and the Politics of the Commons centers on women and reproductive work as crucial to both economic survival and the construction of a world free from the hierarchies and divisions of capital.

A person can crave a perfect steak in the same way that she can crave a perfect family. In Crave, Christine O’Brien tells the story of how her mother, forty years before the demand for raw juices and smoothies spawned a mini-industry, put the family on the Program, a blended vegetable regime to which she demanded total adherence. Her mission: the purification of her children’s bodies, minds and souls.

“So where are you really from?” “Can I touch your hair?” These are common examples of microaggressions (e.g. subtle forms of discrimination). This talk, given by the original research team that developed the microaggression taxonomy, will highlight research from their new book entitled, “Microaggression Theory: Influence and Implications.” The authors will describe how the invisible nature of this phenomenon prevents perpetrators from confronting their own complicity in creating psychological dilemmas for marginalized groups. They will also discuss how prejudice, privilege, safe spaces, and cultural appropriation have become themes in our contentious social and political discourse.
