This Wednesday will be another night of yoga and art with Iowa State University Museums. 

Artful Yoga is meant to enhance the yoga experience by going beyond the physical aspect of yoga to include an artistic awareness. The theme of the yoga correlates with the theme of the exhibit in the Christian Petersen Art Musuem, 1017 Morrill Hall. 

Classes take place at 5:30 p.m. the second Wednesday each month. Attendants are encouraged to show up at 5:15 p.m. to engage in a discussion about the art.

The theme changes with the exhibit each semester; this semester is the color red. This Wednesday specifically will focus on red fruits and flowers as signs of spring, Nancy Gebhart, museum educator of visual literacy and learning, said.

“Good art causes a reaction, good or bad, everybody is different,” Gebhart said at the first session in January. “Yoga follows that idea as well.” 

No prior yoga experience is needed to participate in the yoga class, but participants must register online by 3 p.m. the day of the class. Bring your own mat to the museum.
