It is therefore at the heart of its collections that the Goya Museum invites the public to take care of themselves and experience a session of relaxation in an exceptional setting. Somewhat special sessions, accompanied by the works of Damien Deroubaix.
“Being in a museum is not at all the same atmosphere. And then it allows you to develop the senses a little more and to immerse yourself in works and in a place like this, there are not the same energies as in a yoga studio.” says Isabelle Veaute-Tabarly, yoga teacher.
A journey of body, mind and senses
A place of transmission and exchange, the Goya Museum believes that it can also be a place of meeting oneself through works. Its proposal also offers a journey of the body, the mind and the senses since the yoga class is followed by an observation session of the works. It is therefore barefoot that the group joins another room. It houses The Junta of the Philippines, one of Francisco Goya’s major works.
The one-hour classes are offered once a week and take place only the museum is open. However, the presence of visitors wandering nearby does not disturb the practitioners’ minds in any way.
“I feel good. It’s a place that I know, I often come to the museum, but this is different. I managed to completely ignore the visitors, I didn’t think about it, I was totally in the movements and breathing” assures Christiane.
No visitor can therefore come and disturb the bubble in which these yoga practitioners have huddled.
