YOGA AND ART

A place for yoga and art

Patanjali's Place, a 1,700 square foot space beneath a 25 foot ceiling dedicated to the teaching and practice of yoga and fingerpainting, opens Friday in the old Strawbridge Studios building, 410 W. Geer St.

The idea, said owner Bryan Carey, is 'Yoga for everyone,' from expectant mothers to teenagers and on 'through the dusk of life.'

Carey, a yoga teacher for more than 10 years, is also proprietor of the Shaw School and Studio of fingerpainting.

The fingerpaint enterprise, which carries on the artistic legacy of Ruth Faison Shaw of Chapel Hill, is coming under the same roof (literally) as the yoga studio, he said, but it will hold its classes and events at other times.

Patanjali's is named for a Hindu sage who codified the 'Sutra of Yoga' about 2,000 years ago. It opens with classes seven days a week and plans to enlarge the curriculum this fall, Carey said.
