Yoga in the Gallery: Great Beginnings

About the event:

Surrounded by A Thousand Nesting Dolls, we are reminded to build from our foundations and discover the layers that open up to us. Join us Saturday, October 19th, in the Main Gallery to start your morning with a foundational yoga practice celebrating great beginnings. Led by Museum Guide and yoga instructor Ramaa Bhasin, we’ll flow through an inspiring and meditative practice in the tranquil TMORA galleries, surrounded by artwork. Your ticket includes a 45 minute yoga flow, post-yoga tea, and admission to the museum afterward. Please bring your own mat, wear comfortable clothing you can move in, and be prepared to remove your shoes. Feel free to bring a block, blanket, and/or towel (in addition to your mat) if these items serve your practice. Register in advance. The flow will be gentle and modifications offered; however, we do recommend this class for those with prior yoga experience. Contact [email protected] with any questions.

About our instructor:

Ramaa’s fascination with yoga and meditation started with her grandparents' teachings of yoga, chanting, and healing practices and stories. Most of all her interest piqued with the ancient Indian oral traditions of storytelling, tales of mythology, divine heroic deeds and courage. Ramaa has years of classical yoga training from reputable studios in California (Yoga Shakti 500 hour) and Kansas (Darling Yoga 200 hour). Her classes are creatively sequenced, tying in Indian philosophy, mythology, tales of wonder, mudras, and meditation to instill peace. Ramaa has years of experience with a diverse population-- seniors, adults, children-- and enjoys working with all audiences.
