Yoga & Tea Tasting Event at Moonrise Space
Join us in our brand-new Tribeca sanctuary for a curated journey into the senses. This collaborative event bridges the physical precision of yoga with the meditative art of aged tea, designed to harmonize the body's internal environment.
Part I: The Movement | Led by Jon Witt
Jon is a renowned yoga & movement teacher who has been teaching at NY Equinox and Pure Yoga NY for the past 15 years. He was one of the lead yoga teachers who helped build the Pure Yoga Hong Kong empire.
In this event, Jon will lead a movement practice focused on structural integration and the cultivation of “internal flow.” Much like a well-aged tea, this practice is designed to strip away the “harshness” of modern stress, leaving the body in a state of balanced resonance and open receptivity. All levels are welcome.
Part II: The Tea | Led by Timothy Hsu
