I find myself in a delightful flutter, as whispers abound regarding an extraordinary occasion soon to grace our fair Tacoma: an event of singular charm and profound connection, known simply as Yoga Art: YUJ. Mark your calendars, for on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at precisely 8 o'clock in the evening, a spectacle of grace and artistry shall unfold within the magnificent Venardos Circus tent at the beautiful Point Defiance Park. Prepare your senses, for this is no mere gathering, but a transcendent experience where the ancient wisdom of yoga, known to connect, unite, and join the very essence of body and soul, meets the vibrant spirit of artistic creation. Imagine, if you will, the enchanting strains of Reimagined Bach Cello Suites filling the air with melodies both familiar and wonderfully new. As these harmonious vibrations soothe and inspire, behold the captivating sight of two esteemed practitioners, Linda Collie and Nicole Daly, moving with exquisite precision through flowing yoga asanas. But wait, there is more to this captivating tableau! For as they move, they shall simultaneously engage in the fascinating art of painting, transforming humble yoga mats into breathtaking, one-of-a-kind masterpieces. Indeed, these very mats, imbued with the energy of movement and the stroke of creative genius, shall be made available for your acquisition. What a splendid chance to possess a truly unique piece of yoga art, born from the very moment of its creation! This promises to be an evening of unparalleled elegance and mindful beauty, an opportunity to connect with art, music, and the deeper self, all beneath the whimsical canopy of the Venardos Circus tent. Do not miss this chance to join in such a remarkable union of spirit and creativity. Yours in anticipation, Stephanie
