Visual Arts Yoga

At the Kunstpalast, visitors are invited to slow down their gaze in the midst of the exhibition spaces and not only to view art, but also to consciously experience their own process of perception.

The 90-minute program takes participants to several stations throughout the Kunstpalast’s collection. In front of selected works, participants combine light physical exercises, breathing techniques, eye yoga, and meditative elements with focused art appreciation. This creates a journey through the collection that encourages participants to focus their gaze, become more self-aware, and engage with the art. This program was developed in collaboration with our partnerVALEARA, a Germany-wide provider of psychiatric, neurological, and psychotherapeutic services that places mental health at the center of its work.
