I’ve always been a fan of the museum, but, looking back, my relationship to the collection (and the museum) was pretty distant until I began attending the yoga programs. I think these types of programs are a great way for museums to increase their relevance with the general population, especially at a time when financial concerns might be keeping people from membership and donation. One thing that has made the BMA program a stand-out is Brianna’s significant knowledge of both yoga and art history. She is a kind, knowledgeable teacher of yoga for all levels, and her experience with the museum’s collection enables her to fully explain the different pieces and answer all of our questions. I would encourage anyone considering attending a museum yoga program to keep in mind the experience, knowledge and personality of the instructor.
