Enjoy a movement class focused on body confidence at New Leaf Yoga & Pilates in Park Slope, Brooklyn.

Join the Mount Holyoke Club of New York City and teachers Jen Sydor and Nadia Wallace '88 in this private retreat. The class will use Pilates, breathing techniques, facia release, and somatic exercises in a one-hour mat class, to de-stress, center, fire up our deepest muscles, and connect body and mind. Accessible for all levels of fitness and experience. After the class, we'll have a unique chance to discuss as a group how we can bring the experiences of the class into our daily lives and enjoy food and refreshments in New Leaf's serene and airy, newly renovated space.
