    Art & Yoga: Combining Yoga & the Creative Arts in Personal Practice, Teaching and Community  
    Baba Siri Chand Yoga Center | 368 Village Street, Millis, MA 02054

    This course will teach you to deepen your yoga practice with simple art, movement and creative writing exercises. You will tap into your inner world and find your own way to move forward with intuition and creativity.
    We will begin with Kundalini Yoga, a potent form of yoga that is accessible to everyone. Through yoga postures, breathing exercises, and movement, the body’s natural vitality will be awakened, stress patterns released, and the mind and body prepared for creativity and transformation. You will then move from sitting or moving meditation to making artwork using a variety of drawing materials, water-based paints on paper. Hari Kirin will expertly guide you through the arts to subtle realms of healing and support. You will discover your individual visual, poetic and movement language as you move from yoga and meditation to art-making and then back into yoga.Every soul has images, poetry and movement- you do not need to be an artist to find healing and depth through your creativity. You will return home with completed artwork, yoga routines, and meditations and Art& Yoga for home practice.

    The day will also include a short overview of Hari Kirin’s Art & Yoga facilitator program where you will be introduced to the basic guidelines for integrating the Creative Arts, Kundalini Yoga and meditation into healing work. Useful for your own practice and for yoga teacher, teachers, healers and therapists.

    Student Comments about Art And Yoga Class at Kirpalu

    • Integration of yoga and art was seamlessly melded into an experience of growth. Sense of trust, compassion and loving kindness fostered. Our presenter-very genuine…a quick study, able to think on her feet and respond to the needs of the group- profoundly sensitive and tuned in.”
      —Annaliese, professor, Amherst, MA, Previous course participant
    • Hari Kirin “created a safe place to be vunerable and accepting of all participants…excellent class design and execution suburb.”
      —Lynn, artist / writer, Greenwich CT
    • “This course helped keep me strong in the face of very difficult family circumstances and encouraged me to continue along the artistic path I have found myself traveling for a couple of years. It taught me how to listen to myself and others more patiently and compassionately. …Now I feel I have a new repertoire of skills and images to mentor the present hour whatever it holds.”
      —Emily, mother, poet and fiber artist
    • “The Art really helped me to see that I am not necessarily the uncreative person I thought I was!”
      —Gina, mother
    • “This practice opened me to a new way of practicing yoga, which I would love to continue. The studio time was both, a challenge and a pleasure-new territory for someone who doesn’t ‘create’ in this way. You opened so many doors, and have illuminated a path I’m very grateful to be set upon.”
      —Katrina, writer and editor.
