Get inspired with yoga at the Dali
Written by Sarah Laffin, Sep 8, 2011, 0 Comments
If you are looking for a creative way to de-stress before another intense week of school and work, look no further than the Salvador Dali Museum, at One Dali Boulevard. Each Sunday, from noon to 1:30 p.m., the museum offers Inspire Yoga classes in the Community Room or the Avant-Garden, which both have sweeping views of the waterfront.
For $16, you can turn a lazy Sunday into an exhilarating experience, starting with 90 minutes of yoga, and then browsing the surreal exhibits of Dali’s work.
Inspire Yoga is open to people with all levels of experience, and is led by instructor Jen E. Smith.
Practicing yoga on a daily basis helps increase strength and flexibility, and breathing exercises help relieve stress, clear the mind, and increase self-awareness.
Visitors may leave the class feeling refreshed and empowered. Smith motivates the class with quotes she feels will inspire her students.
Smith is also the director of www.retreatyourselfwell.com, a site that offers yoga retreats, events, and workshops for those who want to get further involved in the yoga community. The inspirational quotes she shares with the Inspire Yoga class can be found on her website under the Blog section.
Tickets for Inspire Yoga can be purchased at www.thedali.org or are available at the Dali Museum. Museum members and students with a student ID can buy tickets for $10 for museum members and students, and $15 without. Non-members can visit the galleries on the same day for an additional $6.
The website recommends arriving a few minutes early and bringing a towel and a yoga mat, although if you don’t own a mat, some are available to borrow. Bottles of water are provided upon entrance.
