One of the goals of Namastuy is to integrate art more into our daily living and communal space.
To share unique perspectives relative to life, mindfulness, yoga and healing related subjects with everyone who walks through our doors, we showcase a new artist's work quarterly.

To start off the new year we opened the doors of the collective to the community for the first time. With a very special art performance titled "Creating the Chakras" by one of our Vinyasa and Restorative sub teachers Brittni Winkler. The performance art piece combines acrylic paint all over her body, a 16 foot by 3 foot, large canvas taped to the floor (acting as a yoga mat), and yoga poses themselves as the creator of forms on the canvas. You are able to see pieces of Brittnis work on display until our Grand Opening on February 12th 2017.
