There is a solution for
improving the body changes that come with
aging. Healthy aging requires one to systematically
stretch and condition muscles that will
protect the aging joints. The slow, exact movements
practiced in Yoga will enhance strength,
eliminate joint stiffness, restore flexibility and
range of motion, improve agility, and improve
balance. These key areas - strength, flexibility,
agility and balance - are the foundations of
healthy living and living without the morning
shuffle of pain and stiffness.
Viknisvari Willis, a certified Yoga instructor
who teaches at the Arkansas Yoga Center,
will guide participants in the practice of
Yoga, emphasizing that Yoga means union
with our mind and body. Focus will be
on breathing and some meditation techniques
that help calm the nervous system.
Dress in clothing in which you can move
freely. Optional suggestions for participants
to use in class are a yoga mat, yoga blocks, straps and a blanket or pillow.

Our ongoing exhibition, Goal 14, Water for Life, is currently on view through October 30th.

This exhibition features four Latinx artists: Lourdes Valverde, David Gómez, Briseida Ochoa, and Dexta Rodríguez.
