With PonyCon just a couple weeks away I bet you all have been wondering what to expect from the convention outside of the season 5 trailer premiere. Well, one of the big themes of the convention is staff and patrons interactions!
Ingrid Nilson for instance will show you how to do everything from rocking out to relaxing yoga. Learn something from a member of the staff while getting to know them as well. Win-win for everyone!
Check on after the break to see her full schedule of events as well as a taste of what else you can expect. Stay tuned to read more on PonyCon's awesome lineup soon.
Ponycon NYC is 12 days away, and Maud Pie voice actress INGRID NILSON is an integrated part of the festivities. Ms Nilson will gather no moss during her stay at the Northeast's 3 day pony symposium taking place at St. Francis College in Brooklyn NY on February 14th, 15th and 16th.
Rock out Saturday

Zen Sunday

#MaudMonday
Yoga 101 with the Fabulous Ingrid Nilson aka Maud Pie. Join her and achieve your zen with fellow Ponies. What is this yoga thing? Curious to ask questions? Ingrid is a professional yoga expert! Learn some simple stretches to relieve low back pain or techniques to calm your mind. Tried yoga before and have questions? In this workshop participation is optional- you can simply watch if that's more your speed. You can also jump in and learn some basics to create a calm mind and exercise your body. Ingrid will treat the group to an advanced yoga posture demonstration at the conclusion of the session.
Yoga 101 with Ingrid is happening Monday 2/16 from 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM in the Hooflyn Room.
Crafters have plenty to be excited about too: First take a crack at some of the Brooklyn Craft Farm's workshops. They will show you how to make your own Maud tote bag or a cozy for your phone! Then join Eclectic Elathera in making your very own Maud and Pinkie shadowbox!
Little hooves will enjoy themselves in Bowtie's Craft Clubhouse, a special section for colts and fillies 12 and under and their guardians. Make a candy necklace, adopt a pet rock at Maud's Rock Farm, or create their own!
