Yoga + Meditation | Tyyni Installation

Service Description

Through movement, we'll dive deeper into what's rising from within, followed by stillness to listen, integrate, and simply be. The asana practice invites you to peel away the layers covering the truest part of yourself. Our physical yoga practice prepares us for shavasana and guided meditation, which we'll give extra time and space in this session. All levels are welcome. No previous experience with yoga or meditation is needed. No need to bring your own yoga mat. The class is part of Tyyni installation at Öljysäiliö 468 with Spacetime. Tyyni is set among sand dunes and draws on mountain meditation, at whose core lies ever-changing weather. The installation's sandstorm and the dune's stillness serve as a metaphor for shifting emotions and thoughts: they intensify, then subside. The sandstorm shapes the dune's surface, breaking and battering it, but the dune always returns to stillness, as if nothing had ever happened. An emotional storm works the same way. Drawn from the expansive architecture of Öljysäiliö 468, the exhibition explores the effect of space on thought. It is grounded in the idea of the cathedral effect, which holds that tall, open spaces support freer, more abstract thinking. Together with Spacetime Helsinki and Mellow Agency.
