Class shows the art of yoga at The Ringling

Yogis and art lovers got the chance to downward dog and vinyasa away along the lawn facing the “Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads” sculptures at the Ringling on Thursday as part of the museum’s Art After 5 event.

Ashley Stewart from Yoga Mind and Body led dozens of participants through a calming and meditative yoga practice as the sun set over Sarasota Bay. This is the second event in a series of yoga sessions The Ringling is offering in different locations throughout the museum.

In partnership with Lululemon Sarasota, the yoga classes offer museum-goers a new and immersive way to experience the estate of The Ringling. The next event will take place at the Museum of Art Courtyard in March.
