Flying High, Ages 5 to 7

This hour long class will be an introduction to mindfulness and yoga poses & sequences through stories and exploration. We will play with speeding up, slowing down, being somewhere in-between and what each feels like. We will work on finding our individual ways to support focusing, staying on task, engaging with peers, navigating conflict, unlocking our creativity, and how to manage our emotions. Art will be a time to learn about color, mediums, what can be done with art and how our brains, breath, and emotion can color what we produce.
Tue. 3/3, 3/17, 3/24, 3/31 4:00 – 5:00pm

Soaring with Strong Emotions, Ages 8 to 12

In this weekly 90-minute class, we explore different yoga poses & sequences as well as investigate mindfulness and how to use it in everyday life. Each class concludes with an art project designed to reinforce the ideas discussed during mindfulness. The goal is to help children develop their own understanding of their emotions and how that impacts their brains, how their bodies feel, and how it impacts their behavior. Our Spring 2015 theme is: Dragons and Mythical Creatures.

Finding Our Migratory Patterns: What Works & Doesn’t Work for Us in Our Current Life

As we age we evolve and shift, we discover that what we are doing isn’t working for us anymore: we want more, less, different, a new way to balance, a new perspective but we know something needs an adjustment or a closer look. Over the course of this series we will flow into yoga poses that require focus and introspection into how we are aligned, how we move, and how it feels to be in that place for that moment. Carrying that over we will build our mindfulness to our surroundings and how to stay present in a world that demands we always be moving forward. How we can slow our brains and bodies down long enough to appreciate where we are and take full stock of what we have, want, need. We will create art journals as a way to think about these questions and challenge ourselves to try new things even when are brains says “you can’t do that!”

From the Brownie to the iPhone, I have used photography to capture events, portraits and the beautiful and commonplace objects of everyday life. These photos taken with a Canon Powershot S95, are a departure for me, in that the subjects are staged. Serendipity brought my homegrown flowers together with my paintings; When I noticed the connection between line, shape and color, of nature and (the) man-made I became obsessed with discovering and capturing the emerging fantasy worlds with my camera.

THE ARTIST WILL BE PRESENT MARCH 6, FOR FIRST FRIDAY, FROM 7 TO 9 P.M.
