Mats on the floor, soft music, and a peaceful atmosphere will set the tone for participants attending the community yoga workshop scheduled for Tuesday, May 19, at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Peekskill. The session will take place from 2 p.m. and will last 45 minutes. The initiative is dedicated to creating a shared space for community wellness.
The event, held on the third Tuesday of each month, is part of a broader network of activities led by New Era Creative Space (NECS), a community organization that promotes self-care through arts, education, and mental health initiatives in the city.
The organization has supported sessions at St. Peter’s with guest instructors or rotating teaching teams, allowing the program to continue in a flexible and sustainable way. For the Tuesday edition, Katherine Marshall-Polite will serve as the instructor. The practice is focused on relaxation, light mobility, and stress reduction. It is not an advanced or technical class; it is an open event for the general public.
According to organizers, the format typically includes basic breathing exercises, gentle stretching, and guided relaxation, all within a community-oriented and non-competitive environment.
In addition to classes at St. Peter’s, NECS also develops wellness programming at its own space located at 203 Esther St. There, yoga sessions and activities related to mental health, nutrition, reading, and mindful movement are held, generally in more regular and structured formats. Its recurring yoga classes take place on the fourth Tuesday of each month at its headquarters.
The initiative is free of charge. However, due to limited space, advance reservation or prior registration is recommended through the provided link. For more information, updated schedules, or registration details, interested individuals may contact the organizers directly.]
