Weisman Art Museum

Start your Saturday with movement and meditation in the museum. WAM has partnered with U of M alumna and certified yoga instructor Elleni Paulson to offer a donation based vinyasa yoga class.

Paulson is a Minneapolis native, who uses yoga to unite the body and mind. All levels and abilities are welcome. This class will focus on linking breath to movement, creating a dynamic and powerful rhythm of movement, and exploring the connection between body and mind.

RSVP here to let us know you’re attending!

Please remember to bring your own mat and water.

Donations support WAM programs and exhibitions.

Their new company, Kelvin Wailey, will be performing and screening a film (with cinematographer Bridget Bennett) during the design showcase this year to provide…
