Yoga & Tea Tasting Event at Moonrise Space

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

Following the practice, guests will participate in a guided tea tasting led by Timothy Hsu. Drawing from his collecting, research, and public-facing service with Chinatown Soup, Tim will introduce a seven-cup aged tea sequence designed to invite clarity and restoration.

Topics explored during the session include:

• Origins & Terroir: How high-altitude environments shape the character of the leaf
• Brewing as Meditation: The ritual and mindfulness of Gongfu tea service for today’s drinker
• The Medicinal Benefit: Aged tea as a tool for metabolic and cellular maintenance

The tasting will feature aged Pu-erh tea served through a structured seven-cup sequence.

Welcome Tea: Served before class begins. Doors open at 10:45 AM.

Practice: Open to all levels, with a focus on breath and alignment.

Tea Tasting: Through a seven-cup tea reset sequence featuring our aged Pu-erh tea, designed to cleanse and balance the chakra system.

This is an intimate small-group experience with a maximum of 20 guests over the course of the two-hour event. Guests are welcome to attend either portion of the event or participate in the full experience.
