Recurrent Remnant: Driftwood Sculpture by Caitlin Roben at SVAN
Sundays at SVAN Gallery presents the works of Caitlin Roben. Meet the artist November 15, 2 PM - 4 PM. The exhibit will be open Friday November 6 and continue through Sunday November 29th. SVAN Gallery Hours Friday - Sunday, 10 AM - 4 PM Using a variety of hand tools and methods, each piece of driftwood used is gathered and worked on gently by hand, removing as much as three quarters of the original material until the heart of the wood is revealed. The wood itself guides the final contours and shape. A small piece of antique wire from old field lines is used to form a simple hanger or stitch pieces together. All of these elements also express a desire to leave as light a footprint as possible in the creation of this work. See less

Introduction to Laughing Yoga with Heidi Smith, Instructor at Paul Nigra Center
Come learn about this fun and cathartic wellness practice! All are welcome to join instructor Heidi Smith for an introduction to the practice of laughing yoga! This whimsical wellness exercise was started in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria, a medical doctor from India, and his wife Madhuri, a yoga instructor. Today, there are thousands of laughter yoga clubs in 72 countries. These sessions embrace the concept of laughing for no reason - without humor, jokes or comedy. Practitioners initiate laughter as an exercise in a group, with eye contact and childlike playfulness that turns into contagious laughter. Since the body can't differentiate between fake and real laughter, we get the same benefits from both! The laughter exercises are combined with yoga breathing techniques for a rejuvenating and balanced session that lowers stress, improves moods, strengthens the respiratory system and immune systems, and builds community connections between attendees. *Members receive a 20% discount. Don't forget to enter the promotional code in the registration window! Please be aware that no refunds or exchanges will be issued for classes or events unless it is canceled by the Nigra Arts Center.
