In 2017, Shannon Brewer, of LUX Studios - Lotus Vibes in the Downtown Holiday Inn, came on, and began to oversee “Yoga in the Gallery”.

Shannon teaches” Yoga in the Gallery”regularly, but has also enlisted new recruits from the growing number of new Yoga instructors in the community, giving them much needed hours for their certifications. This also allows participants exposure to different instructor styles.

As part of the Healthy Living @AMoA programming, sponsored by Rapides Regional Medical Center, the Levee Tai Chi School is proud to offer free Qi Gong every Saturday morning in the Museum's 3rd Floor Gallery.

WHAT IS QI GONG?
Originating in ancient China roughly four thousand years ago, Qi Gong or Qigong (pronounced Chee Gong, literally “Life Energy Cultivation”) is an ancient system of coordinated body postures and movements combined with deep breathing and meditation. It is a powerful tool used to stimulate good health, spirituality, and a state of calm mindfulness.
