Summer 2009
Community Yoga with Elizabeth Heifferon
Please join us for multi-level yoga classes(appropriate for beginners and more advanced students), designed to stretch and strengthen your body, increase your inner peace, and bring mind, body, and spirit into alignment. This is hatha yoga, meaning it incorporates the physical practices of yoga: asana (poses), pranayama (breath control), and meditation. Bring along a mat (if you have one) and an intention for positive change, and grow with us in the Wang Center gardens, as we explore the practice of yoga: the total mind-body workout that doesn't feel like a workout. Please wear comfortable clothing that you can move in and (if you can) bring a suggested donation of $5. Click here to learn more about the instructor >>
Classes will be held most Mondays at 8:30 am and Thursdays at 4:30 pm starting June 15, 2009, in the Wang Center Garden. (Rain location will be in Room 104, unless noted otherwise). For a complete schedule click here.

Tejas–Luminous
by Malini Srinivasan and Dancers
Tejas explores the connections between the spiritual, the corporeal, light, sound, and time through the Indian classical dance form of Bharatanatyam. Different times of day are evoked: the dusk's harmony, the evening's rituals, night's longing, and the morning's purity. Traditional Carnatic classical music, alongside new music composed by Ilari Kaila, provide the soundscape of haunting lyrics and sublime melodies. Flier >>
