Embodying Art | Yoga at the Courtauld Gallery with Oru Space

Discover the Courtauld gallery anew through yoga, meditation and sound with Oru Space.

Each special event, in collaboration with Oru Space, will use the Courtauld collection and its relationship to the elements as a springboard, weaving together the threads of mindfulness, artistic wonder and human creativity to offer attendees a transformative journey —a journey where we can leave feeling more nurtured, inspired and balanced.

These unique events, curated as artful escapes from the everyday, will marry the practice of yoga with the awe-inspiring art and architecture of the Courtauld. We invite attendees to move round their mats with fluidity, encouraging a dialogue between the poses and the artworks on display. The mats themselves become a canvas for wellbeing, self-discovery and appreciating cultural heritage.

Join us to ignite your imagination, look deeper at the works on display and see further through immersion and introspection.

These events are open to all levels and include an introduction to the Courtauld collection, a 60 minute yoga class and 30 minute sound bath. We ask that attendees bring their own mat and props, and encourage you to bring comfy items such as blankets or pillows for the sound bath.

This class will include an introduction from Leyla Bumbra to Blavatnik Fine Rooms, dedicated to the Italian Renaissance, Northern Renaissance as well as 17th and 18th century Europe.

Sarah Logue

Yoga is about connection & community! Sarah loves to weave this in all her classes, encouraging you to cultivate a practice that is uniquely yours, making the space for a couple giggles and sighs along the way. A typical class tends to have a creative flow weaved with a few challenging postures (options will be given for all level of practitioner), a philosophical theme & a steady mindful breath; all geared to let you leave the mat, a little calmer, stronger & lifted. Sarah specialises in Vinyasa, Rocket & Children’s Yoga, and has also trained in Trauma informed practice, Bhakti Yoga & Yin. Sarah also is a sound healer, offering soothing sound bath experiences that allow deep rest and rejuvenation, Sarah’s ever evolving personal practice draws from both Buddhist & Bhakti teachings, from here she loves to share snips of different teachings and meditations.
