Rooted: A Yoga and Live Plant Music Experience

Registration recommended! You’ll be the first to learn of event details or if the location or date changes due to inclement weather.

Join us for a creative, outdoor experience of relaxation and rejuvenation, led by Marlene Boyette, Malaika Bonafide, and Skooby Laposky.

Yoga instructors Marlene and Malaika will lead a gentle yoga flow, offering optional assists, followed by a period of guided relaxation accompanied by singing bowls.

The experience will be set against the backdrop of a live performance of plant music by sound designer and artist Skooby Laposky, who will play the beautiful plants in the Kendall/MIT Open Space, reading their biodata and turning those measurements into a composition of dreamy, ambient music.

This workshop is geared towards adults and is beginner-friendly. Please bring a yoga mat and wear layers to stay warm during guided rest. Please arrive a few minutes early to fill out a waiver.

Attendance at this event is first come, first served, regardless of registration.
