Sunday in the Stacks: "Holiday Pause" Gentle Yoga

​December has a way of filling every corner of the calendar: gifts to wrap, gatherings to host, lists that keep getting longer. This special Sunday in the Stacks is an invitation to set it all down, just for a morning.

​Join Laura Guzman, founder of Book Society and certified 200-hour Holistic Yoga Flow instructor, for a gentle, grounding yoga session designed to quiet the holiday hum and bring you back to yourself. Through slow, mindful movement and breath, you'll be guided to release the tension the season tends to gather and step back into the weeks ahead feeling rested, steady, and a little more present for the moments that matter.

​Set among the quiet shelves of the bookstore before opening hours, this intimate experience offers something the holidays rarely do: stillness, space, and time that belongs only to you.

​Your ticket includes:

• ​A guided gentle yoga class led by Laura Guzman

• ​A post-session mimosa or NA beverage toast to the season

• ​Exclusive access to Book Society during non-business hours

• ​A much-deserved moment of deep rest for the mind and body

​Please bring a yoga mat and wear something cozy. No prior experience is required, just a willingness to slow down. Consider it an early gift to yourself.
