Symposia is now opening its doors to a new environment for yoga practice: small classes, taught in a supportive, non-competitive manner, with individual attention. Students will be gently guided through basic yoga postures, yogic breathing, meditation, and relaxation techniques.
After the class, feel free to linger, have a cup of tea, chat. Refreshments will be served.

PRETTY IN INK– by Lindsey J. Palmer – book signing –Friday April 21st at 7 pm
Lindsey J. Palmer’s debut novel is a sharp fictional satire of the cutthroat, high-profile world of women’s magazines set in the era of its decline. The staff of Hers magazine is in for a shock: After months of flagging sales and the increasing ire of the VIPs in the corporate suite, the magazine’s beloved Editor in Chief gets the pink slip, and a notoriously tough editor swoops in to fill the publication’s top spot… and then the massacre begins. The drama unfolds over the course of one very heated summer, in chapters narrated by a range of distinct voices: a well-respected executive editor and mom of triplets, a photo editor secretly dating her boss, a backstabbing web manager gunning for a promotion, a beauty editor gaming the system for her own private ends, among others. As the Hers staffers battle it out to hang onto their jobs, all their fears and anxieties, their hopes and vulnerabilities play out on the stage of the Hers workplace. They gossip and betray, and then occasionally surprise themselves and each other with an act of tender grace. By Labor Day, not only has the masthead of Hers changed dramatically, so have the staffers whose names appear there.
Lindsey J. Palmer worked as a professional writer and editor in the magazine industry for seven years, most recently as Features Editor at Self,and previously at Redbook and Glamour. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, she earned a Master of Arts in English Education from Teachers College, Columbia University, and currently teaches 12th grade English and A.P. Literature at NEST+m in Manhattan. Lindsey lives in Brooklyn.
