Art & Yoga is an experimental, experiential alliance to be presented the first Saturday of each month at Lotus Center, says Dorothy Kristin Hanna.
Instructor Pam Viviano combines art with yoga in her own practice and has used it in individual children’s yoga classes as a form of creative play. She has discovered the potential for creativity that is unleashed from meditation and yoga. Come experience a yoga class, then play with oil pastels, water, and brushes. Materials will be provided, but you may bring your own as well!
Pamela has a B.A. in Studio Art from Michigan State University and has exhibited locally at the Meadows Museum, artspace, Bossier Arts Council, and Lytles Theatre of Art. She is a certified Viniyoga teacher through the American Viniyoga Institute. Normally conducted one-on-one, Viniyoga teachers choose postures, breathing techniques, meditation, sound, and ritual to meet immediate or long-term needs or goals of students.

Report from Art & Yoga with Pam Viviano, Shreveport, at Lotus Studio, 444 Olive St
Making art after yoga is something that instructor Pam Viviano feels passionate about.
Of a recent class, held at Lotus Center, 444 Olive St, she reported, " I have to say that everyone present at the class (six total) drew something different: one person did geometric designs using rulers and protractors I provided, others drew flowers in a vase or flowers in a Matisse-like scene, inspired by a vase of flowers someone brought, a 13 year old girl did three mermaids singing like The Supremes, and a 17 year old girl did a quartered design with symbols and political statements. Everyone was inspired from within and their work re reflected their unique personalities. I gave them some guidance on how to get started, explaining the suggested meanings of the colors and instructing them to pick the ones they felt attracted to and lines and shapes to start with, but once they got going, they were off."
"I gave out surveys post-class and everyone was enthusiastic about the class. Speaking to one student today, she told me the class had inspired her to start painting again. I hope to attract as many people as possible to the class and to develop it into a workshop that includes information on symbolism and meaning. This class is fun, creative, and healing, which is what I want people to walk away with."

Lotus Center for belly dance and yoga, 444 Olive St, opens with party Sat, June 2, 6 pm
Lotus Center, founded by Kathy and John Fontaine with the aid of their daughter Susan and their friends, is opening with a party Sat, June 2, says Fontaine.
Kathy (center in photo) is, like her husband John, one of the town's quality of life repairmen. Kathy, aka Kahina, along with dancer Al Beeba, aka Rebecca Nebitt Prosino, founded the Port Belly Project. She has taken her dancers to numerous shows, from Xmas in the Sky to Mama Mia's. She organizes and promotes and teaches belly dance. She has stimulated dance-oriented drum circles by producing a hand drum workshop with the group Yulssuvy, of Tyler, Tx. Today the outcome is the Logjam drum group.
The Lotus center is also to be a site for a number of yoga classes. Among the teachers are Cheryl Hagar (above, left), Monica Fayad, Heather Provenza, Pam McDonald and Karin O Bannon.
For Sat night's opening Fontaine and Page Bodden (above, right) have a considerable lineup of dancers, starting about 7 pm.

There will also be a video documentary on the Yulssuvy Hand Drum workshop. Of 10 minutes duration, it was shot and edited by me. The Yulssuvy video will be aired at 6:15 pm.
See more at lotusstudio444.com.
There is a bit of parking behind the 444 Olive St but the recommended site is in the Highland Center's parking lot on the corner of Highland and Olive. It is a half block walk to the studio.
Also, SUV-type vehicles will almost not fit the spaces behind the block of buildings on Olive of which 444 is a part.

Art & Yoga at Lotus Studio with Pam Viviano on Sat, Aug 2
Viniyoga instructor and artist Pamela Viviano says, " the potential for creativity that is unleashed from meditation and yoga is combined in my yoga practice and in children’s classes as a form of creative play: Drawing and coloring is a form of expression. The critic is hushed, the unconscious takes over, and healing is allowed to take place. Come experience an easy yoga class, then play with oil pastels and paper. No experience is necessary in either yoga or art. Materials will be provided. All ages 13 and above are welcome."
Pamela is a certified Advanced Yoga Teacher through the American Viniyoga Institute, and has an art degree from Michigan State University. She teaches yoga classes at the Lotus Studio and Bossier Parish Community College.
