We’ve got a few days to go until Turkey Day, so how about a little free yoga to carry you through to Thursday? This month, Brooklyn’s Jaya Yoga Center (1626 Eighth Ave at Windsor Pl, Park Slope; 718-788-8788, jayayogacenter.com) is focusing on vrschikasana, or scorpion pose, to loosely coincide with the astrological sign of Scorpio (October 23–November 21). Instructors warn that, just like the arachnid, the back-bending pose can “sting” if you’re not careful, but beginners will be acquainted with the pose in “bite-size pieces” in a complimentary introductory class. Show up at 4:45pm for the hour-long session, and don’t worry about bringing a mat or any other props—Jaya’s got it all.
