Welcome to Sunday Gathering
Fourth Sunday of Every Month I 4:00-6:00 PM ET
New York City Studio I Virtual Studio
Each month, a different teacher will guide a 90-minute session shaped by their unique creative spirit. Sunday Gathering is intentionally open-ended: a place for teachers to share what truly lights them up, to experiment with ideas they’ve been curious about, and to offer practices that may not always fit into a traditional class format. From extended flows and themed explorations to interdisciplinary or contemplative practices, this is a time to lead from inspiration and authenticity.
For students, Sunday Gathering is an opportunity to experience yoga beyond the mat. It’s a chance to encounter new perspectives, deepen your relationship to practice, and engage with the diverse voices that make our teaching community so vibrant.
Following the practice, we’ll gather for tea, treats, and conversation, creating space to connect, reflect, and simply be together. This closing circle is an essential part of Sunday Gathering, nurturing the sense of belonging and shared presence that defines The Yoga Common.
Sunday Gathering is about creativity, curiosity, and community. It’s about honoring the richness of our collective practice and making room for connection within ourselves and with one another.
(Re)igniting the Creative Spark
with Annie Hartkemeyer

On this Sunday Gathering, Annie will lead us to first activate our bodies and breath drawing on ancient yogic techniques to awaken the 2nd and 3rd chakras, as well as tools from Annie's work as a professional artist and movement coach. Then, we will channel our findings into some experiential creativity exercises and group manifestation.
In an age where machines and artificial intelligence occupy almost every facet of our lives, you are invited to play with that which can't be neatly written into code, summarized by ChatGPT, or bought/sold: Your personal creative spark.
We are all creative beings. Whether or not we practice creativity as part of our profession or identify as a "creative person," the act of simply being human REQUIRES creativity. When we create new solutions to old problems, we carve out new neural pathways; when we create art or live beautifully, we lift up our spirits and the spirits of those around us. Tapping into this spark is how we unstuck ourselves, imagine and manifest the next best thing for our journey, and enable ourselves to enjoy the lives we are living.

Led by Maggie, ease into your Sunday with The Yoga Common's brand-new monthly Sunday Gathering, a 2-hour session that blends movement, connection, and something a little special. Each class is guided by one of your favorite TYC teachers, offering their unique, inspired approach to the practice you love. One Sunday may invite you to hone your arm balances and the next may offer extended time to unwind on a bolster. After a 90-minute class, we will linger in the lobby with tea, treats, and warm conversation.
