Rooted: a Yoga and Live Plant Music Experience

Join us for a creative experience of relaxation and rejuvenation, led by our friends Marlene Boyette, Malaika Bonafide and Skooby Laposky.

Registration recommended! You’ll be the first to learn of event details or if the location or date changes due to inclement weather.

Yoga instructors Marlene and Malaika will lead a gentle yoga flow, offering optional assists, followed by a period of guided relaxation accompanied by singing bowls.

The experience will be set against the backdrop of a live performance of plant music by sound designer and artist Skooby Laposky, who will play the beautiful plants in the MIT Welcome Center, reading their biodata and turning those measurements into a composition of dreamy, ambient music.

This workshop is geared towards adults, and is beginner-friendly. Please bring a yoga mat and a water bottle (there is a water fill station in the MIT Welcome Center). Please arrive a few minutes early to fill out a waiver.
