Slow down, feel your breath, and let go of unnecessary effort with a gentle class that blends restorative and yin poses. The class will teach functional stretches to release muscle tightness and deeply held tensions in the connective tissue of the body known as fascia. This class is ideal for beginners or experienced yogis who are looking for a slower practice which helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system and counteracts the effects of stress in the body. By holding each pose for 2-3 minutes on each side, self-reflection and self-compassion is cultivated by turning your attention inward, away from external events and distractions. Enjoy this inward-moving experience Details: Class fee: HK$170 drop-in (4 and 8 class packages available too) Address: Hatha yoga by Helen 6-12 Wing Kut Street, Shing Li Commercal Bldg 8th floor, Room D Central, Hong Kong (Closest MTR - Sheung Wan exit E2 or Central exit D) Namaste, Helen 🙏 https://www.facebook.com/Hatha-yoga-by-Helen-559077784243806/ Insta: @helenyogi555

The topic for December is "Reunion" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 7:00 pm, show starts at 7:30 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating.

If the weather cooperates we will be meeting in the patio. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who want to discuss international travel and culture, and anyone who enjoys getting together for good conversations."

Join us for a casual chat over coffee & tea at Grandview Grind! Come out and meet some new people, enjoy your favorite drink, and make some new friends!
