Mindfulness Yoga

Be surrounded by art, as you nurture your wellbeing and take time for yourself in this mindfulness yoga session. Led by Yasuyo Anne Uehara, holistic counsellor, life-long meditator, and mindfulness yoga teacher.

Yoga at the Gallery is unique, particularly when compared to a typical yoga studio. Here’s what to expect:

• We recommend that attendees arrive early, so you can get settled into the Gallery space before the session
• You’ll be practicing yoga alongside artworks. It’s a great way to experience art in a new light!
• No experience is required. The session is appropriate for both beginners and advanced practitioners, you’ll be guided by our expert facilitator – who is there to support you.
• The Gallery can get a little chilly as the temperature is set to 21 degrees for the preservation of the artwork, so bring a towel or shawl
• We recommend that you remove your shoes for the session (but it’s not compulsory to)
• At the beginning and end of the session, there may be a short meditation – you can close your eyes or keep them open (whatever you feel comfortable with)
• We try our best to minimise sound in the space but sometimes there might be low level noise from a nearby artwork or the sounds of the Gallery
