> Yoga has many benefits from calming and focusing the mind to
> increasing strength and flexibility. The session will provide an
> opportunity to practice a series of gentle yoga poses inspired by
> the art in the gallery. In yoga, our connections with the earth and
> the breath are used to link the body, mind and spirit. We will
> integrate simple breathing techniques into the session and end with
> a final resting pose and meditation. The 50-minute session is
> usually held in the Asian art gallery of the Museum.
