Follow the breathwork with an (optional) 90 second cold plunge to help strengthen your response to stress, reduce inflammation and increase overall circulatory system health.

Bring a yoga mat, Terranuma says, and a bathing suit and towel if you’ll be participating in the cold plunge.

Feeling glittery — 3 p.m., presented by Williamstown Theatre Festival at The Clark Art Institute Auditorium with Broadway and WTF vocalist and nationally acclaimed actor Alysha Umphress (On the Town) and revor Pierce on piano, for an afternoon of jazzy and soulful holiday tunes. Some very familiar, WTF says, some less so, and some in a way you’ve never heard them before.
