Stillness in Motion is a unique fusion of yoga, mindfulness, and artistic immersion that invites students to explore their creative selves while cultivating inner peace. This collaboration between EASEL and Gene O'Neill combines slow, deliberate yoga sequences with moments of deep reflective engagement—where the practice extends beyond the body and into observing the canvas, clay, or other artistic mediums available in the gallery.

Each class begins with a grounding meditation and breathwork, followed by a gentle flow of asanas (yoga poses) designed to open up the body and the heart. The flow transitions into a creative activity—observing the gallery's collection of art and choosing a piece for deeper reflection. As students move through the physical postures, they’re prompted to notice the sensations in their body, the colors and forms that come to mind, and how these feelings recollect their chosen artwork.

The class ends with a soothing, Yoga Nidra sequence encouraging relaxation, reflection and visualization of the artwork. This journey allows students to connect with their inner artist, and leave the space feeling both physically refreshed and mentally inspired.

Bring your own Props. Suggested props include a yoga mat, firm pillow or bolster, 1-2 blankets, comfortable clothes, a journal, and anything else to enhance your experience.

Key Elements:

Gentle Flow Yoga: Focus on breathwork, flexibility, and awareness.
Artistic Immersion: Deep reflection on the available art
Mindful Reflection: Time to reflect on how the artwork evokes the emotional and physical journey in yoga.
Community Sharing: Optional sharing of insights from the practice. (Journaling is encouraged)

This class is perfect for anyone looking to deepen their mindfulness practice and explore their creative potential in a safe, supportive environment. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or a beginner, Stillness in Motion helps integrate art and yoga into a cohesive exploration of body, mind, and spirit.
