Image for Pranayama by James Anthony Tyler
Program

Details

Breathe in. The 6 a.m. class at Harlem Bikram is for the regulars — a group as diverse as the neighborhood itself. As heat builds in the yoga studio, so do the tensions in their personal lives…awkward crushes, new friendships, silent struggles, shared grief, make-ups and break-ups. With humor and heart, James Anthony Tyler’s Pranayama captures the breath of a community trying to heal, connect and transform by showing up for themselves and for each other. Join the regulars. Breathe Out. 

June 27th • 6 pm

June 28th - 29th • 4 pm


Contains discussions of racism, colorism, and body image, the use of strong of language, as well as brief descriptions of sexual situations and references to alcohol use disorder.


Recommended for audiences ages 13 and older.
