Welcome to the 2012 Louisiana Dragon Boat Races! This year’s event was held on

May 12^th on the scenic Red River in Alexandria. The Alexandria Museum of Art was proud

to bring this exciting experience back to Central Louisiana. This year everyone had a

great time, both on and off the water!

Dragon boating is visually spectacular, easy to learn, and most importantly, extremely safe.

Anyone can do it, regardless of age, gender, or athletic ability. For these reasons it has become

an extremely popular team building activity for community organizations and corporations.

Please check out the Louisiana Dragon Boat Races website.

We arepleased to announce b. Hedrick as our new Yoga instructor. b.Hedrick is an ascetic Taoist yogi with 14 years of yoga practice informing histeaching method – Yoga Tao.
Certifiedin Kripalu Yoga, Hedrick also practiced western medicine for 7.5 years. Hisknowledge and experience stem from eastern and western thinking and contributeto a dynamic sense of balance.
YogaTao is an “all level” opportunity – from beginner to advanced, incorporatingspirit-mind-body techniques providing participants with stress reduction,strengthening, flexibility, and balance also useful in everyday life off theyoga mat.
Hismethod has evolved out of a daily yoga practice directed by the natural flow ofyin and yang energies. His intention is simply to share the journey ofunfolding self-discovery with his participants – realizing that the real Guruis God.

O
YOGA TAO
"Yoga Tao is an asana and pranayama practice directed by the natural flow of yin and yang energies.
As facilitator of this experience, individually or in a group, I serve as a mediator between the participants and the process, opening the space for yin/yang flow in the session.
Chakra imagery plays a substantial role in identifying and freeing energy to move at the various chakra levels activated as a result of mindful movement through asana and naturally occurring pranayama.
Participants connecting with Yoga Tao will find each session contributes to the evolution of their own private practice unfolding spontaneously moment to moment resulting in the discovery of a deeper, more conscious sense of one’s integration with the forces governing the cosmos and the perpetual creation of reality.
From this emerging awareness, individuals will further identify the sacredness of their own spirit, mind, body make-up honoring how and who they are in their own skin – the beginning of a personal wellness journey that doesn’t end – that doesn’t fizzle – that root sit self deep into the lasting soil of authenticity."

*AMoA is not responsible for your art—so be prepared tospend a shift hanging out at The Wall, where you can bring your sketchbook orsupplies and create art onsite and mingle with market-goers!
Fill out The Wall entry form and fax, mail, or hand deliver to AMoA.
