Yoga in the Gallery
First Thursdays | 6-7 pm

PLEASE NOTE: Yoga in the Gallery will be paused in February and March because of the increase in COVID cases in the Albany area. The sessions are scheduled to return April 1.

Art and yoga have proven to be a popular mixture at the Albany Museum of Art. Now, Yoga in the Gallery is a monthly offering at the museum. The hour-long sessions led by Albany Yoga Project are at 6 pm on the first Thursday of each month.

“If art, as some philosophers say, is the highest form of life, then it cannot be overstated that the practice of yoga—the tending to the mental, physical and creative self—situates itself perfectly in the art museum setting,” AMA Executive Director Andrew James Wulf, Ph.D., said. “We are delighted to partner with the Albany Yoga Project in this special monthly offering to our community.”

Sylvia Maxwell, executive director and founder of Albany Yoga Project, says she is looking forward to the partnership. Albany Yoga Project has conducted Yoga in the Gallery sessions at the AMA previously, including a pop-up morning event last month.

“Partnering with the Albany Museum of Art allows us to connect both yoga and art as tools for change in our community,” Maxwell said. “We are excited and grateful that the Albany Museum of Art will be hosting Yoga in the Gallery as a monthly event on the first Thursday of every month."

Annie Vanoteghem, director of education and public programming for the museum, said engaging in yoga during a museum visit adds new dimensions to both experiences. 

“Yoga is a wonderful way to experience art,” she said. “We are thrilled to continue with our AYP partnership on a monthly basis. With several different galleries in which to practice, you will never have the same experience twice as each exhibit will ignite something new in your meditation."

​No registration or RSVP is required. Maxwell said each participant is welcome to “come as you are” to the session. Extra mats also will be available if someone forgets to bring one, she said. Facilitators ask that participants be in place and ready to begin promptly at 6 pm.

There is no admission charge, but a $7 donation is suggested to support AMA and AYP programs.
