Arts in Wellness: Kemetic Yoga
Apr 26, 2026
From: 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM
A guided outdoor yoga session rooted in ancient Egyptian practices offers a blend of movement, mindfulness and cultural connection at the Deering Estate. Part of the site’s Arts in Wellness series, the class integrates physical exercise with historical and artistic context.
Taking place Sunday, April 26, Arts in Wellness: Kemetic Yoga is led by movement artist and instructor Michelle Grant-Murray on the estate’s front lawn and boat basin. The session draws from Kemetic Yoga traditions, emphasizing breath control, alignment and intentional movement while connecting participants to broader themes of identity, culture and history.
Grant-Murray, a choreographer, educator and Artistic Director of Olujimi Dance Theatre, brings an interdisciplinary approach shaped by her work in dance, scholarship and performance. The program is open to participants of varying experience levels and is held in an outdoor setting, with an indoor location available in case of inclement weather.
