Art galleries are places of creativity and tranquility. Twice a month at the Queensland Art Gallery and the Gallery of Modern Art, they're places for yoga too. It makes sense — you're in a space known for its peace and quiet, and for contemplation and serenity. Breaking out your best downward dog pose just seems like a natural thing to do, really.
We don't recommend showing off your flexibility just anywhere, of course. Instead, make a date with QAG and GOMA's Monthly Mindfulness Yoga sessions. The dates change each month, but there's always one session from 8.45–9.45am on a Sunday, and another from 6–7pm on a Wednesday, giving you the option of bending and stretching to start your day or winding down after work.
Taught by Miriam Van Doorn, the classes combine flow-style yoga and meditation, and are open to all skill levels. Sometimes they're held at QAG, sometimes they're at GOMA — so you won't get tired of the scenery.
Bookings are essential, and cost $12 for gallery members and $16 otherwise.
