Most yoga classes feature some kind of low key, new age music. The class coming to The Space on October 3 takes a rather different tact, using a punk rock soundtrack to get your Vinyasa flowing.

The class will take place in the performance area of The Space, with full stage lighting and rock atmosphere. Booking agent Chris Merrow says the music will feature some classic punk, but will run across the whole genre. Many motions and breathing techniques will coincide with song beats.

Right now the event is a one-off class, though Merrow says the venue is looking to turn it into a regular series. An experienced punk instructor from New Hampshire is teaching October 3, however Merrow added they will be looking for a local instructor if there is interest in creating a series.

Doors are at 5:30 p.m., and tickets are $10. Yogis will need to bring their own mats. For more information or to sign up in advance, call 203.288.6400.
