Tuesdays at 9:45 PM
(please note the new slightly earlier time!)
Disco Yoga with performer,
writer,
photographer,
nightlife diva,
and Philosopher Gerry Visco
is an Iyengar trained yoga teacher and practitioner who has studied yoga intensively since the age of 16 and was certified to teach yoga by the Iyengar Yoga Institute of New York (a two year program).
This is a REAL workout and at the same time, I encourage people who haven't tried yoga or who think they can't do it. MOVE YOUR BODY and STAY YOUNG!
We all need to open our bodies up, feel good, and PARTY!
Wear something fun and comfortable, get ready to move and relax, all levels, stiff or flexible, and be ready to have FUN.
We will incorporate dance into the yoga session.
If you have a mat, block, strap, or blankets, feel free to bring them.
Suggested donation: $6 or more.
Bring a mat, if you have one!
The Spectrum is a fab funky spot and it IS 59 Montrose at Lorimer -- look for an awning and just open the door since there's no big disco sign.
We're inside looking for Nirvana (no, not THAT Nirvana. Kurt Cobain will only be there in spirit).
