In celebration of Mexican Independence Day, join us for a yoga experience inspired by the visionary work of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz—the 17th-century Mexican poet, philosopher, and nun who defied convention to pursue a life of intellectual and spiritual inquiry.
Her 1692 poem “First Dream” offers a richly imagined meditation on the soul’s ascent toward knowledge, the vastness of the cosmos, and the shifting interplay of light and shadow.
This session pairs gentle, accessible movement with moments of poetic reflection, inviting a felt encounter with the poem’s themes, before concluding with Yoga Nidra—a deeply restorative, contemplative practice often described as “yogic sleep.”
The practice will be accessible for all—no prior yoga or poetry experience is necessary! Please bring your own yoga mat and be prepared to fill out an activity waiver.
