What we’re about
This group is for anyone who is interested in doing yoga in a screen printing shop which is housed in the historical industrial mill in Averill Park, NY. Experience a unique combination of modern printing, and the ancient practice of yoga. This group is for anyone who likes screen printing, t-shirts, old buildings, AND yoga. Meet and mingle with other great folks, enjoy a 60-minute beginner-friendly yoga class and some light refreshments to follow, learn a bit about printing, and take home a custom designed and printed shirt to mark the experience. A new shirt design will be offered on each occasion.
Mel Brust (RYT-500) started this group because after teaching and practicing in a studio setting for years, she had offered yoga to the employees at work, that being 518 Prints. The experience shed a new light on how the familiar space of the print shop could be used and the new connections that can come about as a result. It was creative and fun to practice yoga in the shop and those who participated came together in an alternative and positive way. Mel realized this this opportunity should be extended to others, not only to share the print shop yoga practice and experience, but to inspire others to integrate the work-practice “duality” in their own ways and lives.
