This week yoga will be followed by a potluck social--all are welcome, whether in person or online.

This informal yoga class is for active people who want to stretch/strengthen muscles worked from biking/boating/climbing/hiking/skiing or hunching over a laptop wishing you were out doing those other things. Class is pretty interactive, beginning with some time to meet the other MITOC yogis and make requests of our excellent yoga guru, Sandy, who tailors each class to the needs of the participants. The class is friendly to all levels of yogi--it's fine if you've never done yoga before, and no equipment is necessary to attend online: you can do yoga on a rug or bare floor, and can replace blocks, balls, and bolsters with everyday items like water bottles, books, cans, towels, blankets, belts, webbing, etc--Sandy gives suggestions.

Yoga is 6:05-7:30 PM Eastern both via zoom and in person. Sign up on this trip to attend in the comfort of your own home--or sign up on the trip "Yoga-in person" if you'd rather attend in person (space limited). (It takes a few minutes to set up the zoom computer, so don't be concerned if the meeting hasn't started yet when you first join. We'll be there soon!)

If you sign up before Monday morning, the url will be emailed to you. To receive weekly reminders/updates about yoga, including the zoom link, join the yoga mailing list: https://tinyurl.com/MITOCyoga It's helpful to set up your webcam to be able to see as much of you as possible, because Sandy is very good about giving tips and additional instructions on the fly.

Class lasts about 90 minutes. There’s a small fee: go to https://mitoc.mit.edu/pay, select the trip/event “Yoga”, and choose the highest fee that keeps you comfortable coming back. You can choose any multiple of $5 by increasing the quantity. Larger amounts are appreciated! For comparison, a typical yoga class costs $25 or more, but you are welcome here regardless of how much you can contribute toward Sandy's pay. We look forward to seeing you!
