Close your eyes and inhale as if creating a brilliant painting within, rich and vibrant. Exhale as if gently brushing the colors across the canvas, letting each stroke carry away the weight of the day. Take one last deep breath in and release it like the final stroke of a finished work. In each all-level class, students flow like living paintings — slowly, mindfully, and full of presence. Every practice is its own gallery of breath and motion, leaving body and spirit light, refreshed, and at ease.
This session in the newly installed Collection galleries is led by Delisa Simpson-Even, a Columbia-based RYT 200-hour yoga instructor. Mats provided, but students are welcome to bring their own mats and props. Ages 13 and up; no unaccompanied minors. $20 / $16 for members.
