The Chemistry of YOGa


Join the New York ACS on November 9, 2024 from 10:00AM - 2:00PM.  Pace University for a fun, healthy, and educational event, where we come together and celebrate our life energy!  Yoga is more than twisting and turning - it is an awareness of the breath, concentration, meditation, a look within.  The chemistry of YOGa techniques to be discussed include: asana (postures), pranayama (breathing), and meditation (dhyana).  Presentations will discuss the production of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins.  The day's bliss will begin with a beginner asana practice, pranayama, and sound healing by certified yoga instructors.  Following the practice and talks, there will be lunch, snacks, and a healthy smoothie bar.  Come breathe, flow, and smile with us!  The event is FREE and open to all, but everyone must register (including children). 

Bring your own yoga mat and blanket.



Registration is required for all attendees, including children.  Space is limited.  Registration will close on November 1, 2024 (or when capacity is reached).

Enter through the Main Entrance on 1 Pace Plaza. Bring a Photo ID.  Once cleared through Security, proceed to the Gymnasium.
