    As the month begins, align your chakras and awaken your eardrums at Verboten's Wilkommen Deep House Yoga. A group of yogis spanning in experience from novice to malleable unite in the dark for one hour of meditation while DJs George Faya and Tasha Blank play hypnotic electronica, laser lights and disco balls included. You've probably embarrassed yourself beneath this very disco ball before, so consider the chance to do yoga with strangers below it a form of spiritual healing. Sometimes the instructor even interrupts your Vinyasa flow mid-class for a dance circle akin to the Hora.This #YogaRave may be for folks 21 and over, but no alcohol is served. Instead, you can borrow a fancy Lululemon mat, and purchase water (or coconut water, if you're into that).This event occurs twice weekly on Monday and Tuesday evenings through the month of February. (Kellylouise Delaney)Monday, February 1st, 7 p.m.-8 p.m. or 8:30-9:30 p.m. // Verboten, 54 North 11th Street Brooklyn, NY // Tickets $20
    Garrison Keillor, the upper Midwest's favorite public radio troubadour, has made A Prairie Home Companion his life's work, and week after week delivers songs and mostly-made-up tales of what life must be like in a quiet Minnesota lake town. But that's all coming to an end soon, and Keillor will visit 92Y to talk about his deep ties to New York City and how the towering concrete canyons of Manhattan mean as much to him as amber waves of grain. You can bet there'll be songs and long-winded stories about his first visit here as a boy, his first publication in The New Yorker, and more.Monday, February 1st, 8 p.m. // 92Y, 1395 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan // Tickets $34
    Known for her finely-detailed and mystifying land art, Michelle Stuart will unveil Theatre of Memory, a new exhibition of photographs at the Bronx Museum this month. Patterns, weathered detail, and the earth's natural grit have long been integral parts of Stuart's work, and in a new series of still lifes shot specifically for the museum show, her inner world will be put on display for the world to see. You'll also get the chance to see works from Stuart's 1980s Codex series, which include squares of earth accompanied by photographs of the land from whence they came.Opens Wednesday, February 3rd, 11 a.m. // The Bronx Museum, 1040 Grand Concourse, the Bronx // Free admission
