      Know before you go

      In-person event
      Location: Anila Quayyum Agha’s All the Flowers Are For Me Gallery

      Members $5; nonmembers $15
      Advance tickets are required; space is limited.

      This class is designed to be accessible to all ages and abilities. No prior experience with yoga or meditation is necessary – all are welcome! Limited seating will be available in the gallery during meditation.

      Sealed water is permitted in the gallery during yoga and meditation.

      We recommend that you wear comfortable clothing and silence your phone or devices for this program to get the most out of this mindfulness practice.

      Join us for a morning of yoga and meditation! First, deepen your breath and take in the serenity of Anila Quayyum Agha’s All the Flowers Are For Me during a yoga class led by Soul City Lynn. Then, stick around for a guided mindfulness session focused on PEM’s newest exhibition, Agustina Woodgate: Ballroom.

      About the Artwork
      Encounter Ballroom, an installation that invites you to interact with and navigate your way through a field of blank globes on the gallery floor. Woodgate’s work invites us to ponder the navigation of the unknown — both literally and figuratively.

      Observing art can induce a “flow state” of mindfulness and activate the same part of the brain that more traditional mindfulness practices, like meditation and yoga, do. Join us on the first Sunday morning of every month (second Sundays for holiday weekends) in a guided practice of “mindful looking.” Come be still, relax and connect more deeply with artworks from PEM’s collection. A different work will be featured in every class.
