YIN Between Books
Fridays at 9 am
Come explore with us this slow-paced, meditative yoga
practice in this ~1 hour yoga class located between the bookshelves at
Symposia Bookstore.
Yin yoga poses are held statically for longer periods of
time, mainly on the floor, to help safely improve joint mobility and increase
flexibility through deep stretching of the body's connective
tissues. Poses can be adaptable to everyone with props and variations
offered. Complement your active week by discovering a sense of calm with
yin.
Instructor: Gina Meusel, a registered yoga teacher in
Hoboken.
Registration required at
gina.meusel@yahoo.com
Suggested donation $8-10. 50%
of proceeds go to Symposia Bookstore
All the props/mats will be provided.

Open Mic Night –Tuesday, May 17th at 7:30pm
You
know you’re talented. It’s the way you tell a joke, the emotional reaction you
elicit when you read poetry, and no one can bang out a tune like you do.
Now,
it’s time to show the world and it all starts with the Open Mic at Symposia.
While it’s not a definite that record producers or other talent scouts will be
there, it is a certainty that the crowd is easy and the snacks are salty. So
come out and share 15 minutes of your best material (covers or originals) and
bask in the mutual appreciation of your gifted neighbors. Let us know
you’re coming by rsvp’ing.
*Suggested
donation $5 to support our beloved non-profit Symposia Bookstore. *
