Weekend Picks – July 28th

Breath and move

A new Crown Yoga series will be held Fridays 12-12:45PM on: July 28, August 4, 11, 18, 25, September 15, 22 & 29 at The Superette in the Seaport.  “CROWN: Yoga for Conscious Awakening” is an empowering yoga class inspired by the transformative journey depicted in Wendy “MoMa” Michel‘s captivating creative campaign. Through a fusion of movement, breathwork, and mindfulness, “CROWN: Yoga for Conscious Awakening” harnesses the power of the chakra system to guide students on an inward journey. Each class is thoughtfully designed to activate and balance the energy centers within the body, paving the way for a deeper connection to the crown chakra – the gateway to expanded consciousness, enlightenment, and spiritual awakening. You can sign up for this free class here! 

Bird is the Word – Let’s do some birdwatching in the neighborhood!

Nothing thrills me more than hearing a cardinal out my window. Its cheerful singing draws me to the window to look around and spot the red bird in a tree.  Think birdwatching is boring? Think again!  And finding birds beyond a pigeon and a common sparrow just takes looking out your window or a walk around the block. The South Boston Public Library makes birdwatching a snap with their BirdWatching Kit! The kit contains binoculars, maps (created by the Mass Audobon) and a field guide. Here’s our City BirdWatching Guide too!
