Gogh with Lifeway Immersive Yoga, in partnership with CorePower Yoga, is a workout designed to challenge the body and inspire the mind; choreographed in harmony with the music, sounds, light and moving images from Van Gogh’s vast catalogue of masterpieces. After class, participants are invited to stay and experience the art around them one more time. All participants will receive a nutritious Lifeway Kefir, packed with probiotics to nourish their microbiome and to recover from their yoga session. Guests are welcome to stay following the class to view the exhibition, typically ticketed at $54.99 per person/per class. The yoga classes will be led by a certified CorePower yoga instructor.
Featuring animations of 40 of Van Gogh’s masterpieces, Immersive Van Gogh was designed by creator and Italian film producer Massimiliano Siccardi, with original, mood-setting music by Italian multimedia composer Luca Longobardi, who provided a score that combines experimental electronic music with pure, ethereal and simple-seeming piano. Vittorio Guidotti is the Art Director. Siccardi and Longobardi are both pioneers of immersive digital art experiences in Paris. With more than 70 projectors illuminating over 15,000 square-feet, visitors to Immersive Van Gogh are encircled from head-to-toe in Van Gogh’s brushstrokes and colors, including animated details from works such as Self Portrait with Felt Hat (1888), The Bedroom in Arles (1889), Irises (1889) and The Starry Night (1889).
Gogh with Lifeway Immersive Yoga classes will be presented with strict health and safety practices in place. Capacity will be limited in accordance with the City of Chicago’s safety protocols. Additional safety precautions include touchless ticket-taking, temperature checks upon arrival, hand sanitizer stations, social distancing markers throughout the venue, and digitally projected social distancing circles on the gallery floors to ensure appropriate spacing. All guests must wear a face covering at all times during their visit to Lighthouse ArtSpace Chicago. Guests should arrive dressed for classes and bring their own yoga mats.
The venue is easily accessible by public transportation and has ample parking in the nearby James House parking garage.
