Visual Arts Yoga

Please note: This tour will be held in German

In front of selected artworks, participants combine gentle physical exercises, breathing techniques, eye yoga and meditative elements with focused engagement with art. This creates a route through the collection that encourages participants to focus their gaze, become more aware of themselves and encounter art in a new way.
In this context, the Kunstpalast becomes a place of slowing down and restoration. Rather than detailed visual analysis or art-historical contextualisation, the emphasis is on immediate experience: How does an artwork change when the breath becomes calmer? What happens when the gaze does not wander, but lingers? And how can a conscious encounter with art help us to sense our own body, our own perception and the present moment?
Visual Arts Yoga is aimed at anyone who wishes to do something beneficial for both mind and body while experiencing art in a new way.

No previous experience of yoga is required, and no special clothing is needed. The exercises are designed to be accessible and can be carried out either seated or standing.
The sessions primarily take place after regular opening hours or during the museum’s quieter off-peak opening times.
