R U Still Stretching? is a special yoga event taking place inside R U STILL PAINTING???, a dynamic group exhibition set in a raw, unused commercial space in Midtown Manhattan. The exhibition explores the creative process in all its messy, persistent, and vulnerable forms, making it the perfect backdrop for an embodied practice like yoga. Participants are invited to stretch, breathe, and slow down amidst large-scale paintings and installations, transforming the space into a site for both physical and creative renewal. It’s art, movement, and mindfulness, all in one extraordinary setting.
