Live Jazz & Vinyasa Yoga
move and groove yoga™ - a wellness initiative that seeks to build community through events focusing on music, movement and mindfulness practices. The program’s goal is to help urban residents create spaces where they can expand their minds while appreciating and honoring their environments.
Move & Groove: Jazz & Yoga is our premier event which features vinyasa yoga and live music. Partnering with the National Jazz Museum in Harlem since 2016, this monthly open-level class pairs Vinyasa Flow yoga with live accompaniment by a rotation of live musicians. Move & Groove: Jazz & Yoga is a donation-based class that welcomes new visitors to the museum and supports local musicians. It has been widely received as a ‘Hug for Harlem’ as varied community members have developed a yoga practice while supporting the Museum.
