Yoga mit Monet - a good way to practice both your German and some yoga poses in lockdown.
The Museum Barberini in Potsdam recently hosted a virtual yoga session with instructor Anna Rischke. She practices in one of the gallery rooms, in front of a projector showing stunning Monet paintings from the museum’s current exhibition.
This interview with curator Dr Ulf Küster sheds light on the recent trend; the Fondation Beyeler had a Monet Meditation programme a few years ago to coincide with an exhibition, where yoga classes were actually held in the galleries before regular opening hours.
Küster sees a link between the contemplative processes of engaging with a Money painting and practicing meditation. Monet’s hazy, serene landscapes accompanying the video will certainly help open up those chakras, just don’t forget to atmen!
