'Yoga for Musicians, Filmmakers and the Like' this Wednesday

by Wynce Nolley

Tipitina's Co-op is offering a free yoga workshop for artistsĀ on Wednesday.

For the many local artists who may place regular exercise at the bottom of their ever-expanding list of priorities, Tipitina's Co-op is offering a free yoga workshop called "Yoga for Musicians, Filmmakers and the Like" on Wednesday starting at 5:45 at Tipitina's Co-op downtown.

Through this workshop, attendees will learn some of the basic tenets of yoga under the guidance of Missy Dupreast, an alumna of the Lafayette Center for Yoga Teacher Training Course and a Registered Yoga Teacher from the Yoga Alliance.

In this hour-long course, Dupreast will cover some of the fundamentals of yoga including muscle memory, the role of counter-posing and the breathing exercises and postures that can help relieve stress. Dupreast will then demonstrate the different yoga poses using your knees, wrists, shoulders and back.

Be sure to bring a yoga mat and some comfortable clothing to this workshop starting at 5:45 p.m. at Tipitiana's Co-op located at 203 Jefferson St. downtown. For more info check out its event page on Facebook or call them at 534-0951.
