Feed your brain and body this week as NightLife explores the fascinating world of human health and wellness in this ongoing series.
Music by DJ Hyfi
Yoga classes presented by Yoga Tree and Yoga Works
----> In African Hall, join Wonderfest for a night of brainy talks by experts from UCSF: Dr. Elissa Epel on obesity and the brain, and Dr. Howard Fields on the brain’s ability to create “a virtual mind-body experience.”
----> Treat your mind and body to yoga sessions around the museum with Yoga Tree and Yoga Works instructors. Roll out your mat and take a class in the following places:
- Inhale/Exhale in the Philippine Coral Reef
- Downward Dog to a live DJ set in the Piazza
- Hold a Child's pose under the stars for a very special class on our Living Roof (weather permitting).
----> What do your thoughts look and sound like? Slip on an EEG reader customized by Colin Harrington, a lucid dreamer, who created the “Beyond Sonification” installation in response to his unique sleep cycle. Using a modified commercial EEG reader, his project transforms his dreams—or anybody’s thoughts and emotions—into soundscapes and imagery.
Please note: Yoga class capacity is limited in each location and entry is not guaranteed. Living Roof and Coral Reef classes require passes which will be available on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 6 pm on the front concourse. Please bring your own yoga mat.
Upcoming Brain & Body Dates:
May 11th
September 21st
November 9th
