My goals when I’m practicing:
1. Slowing down
2. Connecting with my breath
3. Staying present
No matter what’s going on around me, if I focus on these 3 things, I can find a way to regulate, which makes yoga a really powerful tool! That’s why I feel so passionate about sharing it with others.
Come practice with me! I have new classes popping up every week, and more to come 🥰 Find info at link in bio! by @80smomchic

We are excited to welcome @80smomchic to the PPY team this year! 🦋

Kayla teaches dynamic slow flow classes that are designed to adapt to individual needs and abilities. As a teacher, her goal is to help students connect with their breath and find the balance between effort and ease. You can leave her class feeling grounded and energized 🌿

Kayla loves teaching triangle pose. As a practitioner, she enjoys practicing malasana yogi squat. Both have wonderful benefits, especially after long periods of sitting or standing!

Join @80smomchic on Friday mornings @ 8:15am - Ocean Parkway!

We’re exploring the common threads between dance and poetry, including rhythm, form, movement, and storytelling in this week’s Thursday night virtual workshop with Kayla Schwab @80smomchic 👯‍♀️

We’ll examine how choreography comes alive in poems by Patricia Smith, Theodore Roethke, Maya Angelou, Rita Dove, and others.

After a brief and accessible movement practice, we’ll embody the techniques used by these poets and bring them into our own writing practice through playful prompts geared toward writing a poem that dances and moves on the page.

Save 25%-50% on any workshop with your PSNY membership — only $5 a month! We also have 1 free spot per workshop available. Learn more at our link in bio 📓

The dark times are back, or maybe they never left.

Join us next month for our third (and final?!) production of 'In the dark times', a show that's part literary reading and part immersive theater. Come join us on our island for a post-apocalyptic poetry festival where we'll explore Brecht's famous question - "In the dark times, will there also be singing?" 🏮

Only at @thetanknyc, as a part of their Darkfest / Trashfest programming! Ticket link in bio. by @80smomchic

No prior yoga or writing experience required. This workshop is open to all! It would mean so much if you signed up! Admission is $25.
