Yoga and music in Berwyn January 16
BERWYN IL - Music & Potlucks, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization presents “Yoga, Pie & Song” on Thursday, January 16 at 6:30 pm. The event takes place in the Friendly Music Community Room, 6731 Roosevelt Road.
The program features a 45 minute session of gentle yoga led by certified yoga instructor Marianne Mohrhusen of Brookfield followed an acoustic mini-concert by Midwest troubadour Mark Dvorak. Pizza will be served and refreshments are available for purchase.

“It’s our happy hour event,” said Music & Potlucks director Stephanie Schrodt of River Forest. “During the pandemic we presented yoga & music ive stream and were joined by people from as far away as Columbia, South America, Florida, Colorado and the east coast. Rob Pierce at the Friendly Music Community welcomed us to present the program live and in person, and he jumped at the chance.”
The Friendly Music Community consists of a bar, The Friendly Tap, established by Pierce in 2007, the Friendly Coffee Lounge just next door, the Friendly Music School on the second floor and the newly renovated Community Room.
“We’re in the business of attraction,” said Pierce. “Our goal is to create a space where people of all ages can gather for music, for lessons or for a cup of coffee. We just love working with Music & Potlucks. They do incredible work in the community and their mission and ours are pretty much in alignment.”
