Spirit Gallery to Host Punk Inspired Yoga Workshop
A creation of New London native, Mary-Sarah O’ Hanlon, a choreographer and certified yoga instructor, Power Punk Yoga is an intense, cathartic routine set to powerful music that gives the body a cardio workout that also tones.
“Slow, meditative yoga is wonderful, but sometimes you’re in the mood for something more vigorous, and there are times when you just can’t want to listen to Enya or tabla drums,” Hanlon said. “In this class, you work out to The Clash, The Sex Pistols and No Doubt. You get a great ab workout, plus lots of yoga stretches, and you’re guaranteed to break a sweat.”
A popular class at Hanlon’s Massachusetts studio, Spirit Gallery’s owner, Blaze Schwaller, decided to see if Power Punk Yoga could grow a following in New London.
“I love having yoga in the gallery. It helps bring the space alive and people really connect to the art they’re seeing,” Schwaller said. “With Power Punk Yoga, we don’t have to worry about schedule conflicts if we’re doing a tattoo while class is being held, which makes the class a perfect fit for the Spirit Gallery.”
Cost to attend Spirit Gallery’s Power Punk Yoga workshop is $15. Pre-registration is recommended. Space is limited. Participants must provide their own yoga mat. To register, call 860-443-0484. For more information about Spirit Gallery, visit www.spiritgallerytattoo.com
