Yoga and other contemplative practices take on a special quality when placed within the setting of an art gallery. The Museum of Russian Art invites you to join us in the Education Center gallery for a heart-opening Vin-Yin flow, designed to transition you from the inward, quiet energy of winter (or stagnation) into the expansive, blooming energy of April. This flow combines active movement to clear stagnation, deep yin holds to release tension in the fascia, and deep breathwork and affirmations to anchor your intentions, ground, and look forward. Please bring your yoga mat. While not required, we do recommend bringing a blanket, blocks, and a bolster or cushion, as we will use these props to release into softness.
Please note: this class takes place in the gallery at The Education Center, 5904 Pleasant Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55419. There is ample free parking in the lot.
About the instructor, Ramaa Bhasin: Ramaa’s fascination with yoga and meditation started with her grandparents’ teachings of yoga, chanting, 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 hours) and Kansas (Darling Yoga, 200 hours). 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.
