Creative Collaborations with the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh
Inspire your creative wellness practice with YOGAMOTIF at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh this spring.
YOGAMOTIF has enjoyed a blossoming collaboration with the Children’s Museum this spring. This week, we enjoyed a fun Gentle Yoga class with our teacher, Heather Manning, as an extension of the Opposites Abstract exhibition with Mo Willems. Up next, on National Children's Mental Health Awareness Day, we’ll be offering two separate workshops for children and adults.
First our flagship workshop, Yoga Paint Party will be brewing up something fun!
Quick update: On January 10, 2023 we were officially granted a patent for the YOGAMOTIFmat, and are making space to improve the overall Yoga Paint Party experience. With the support of the Children’s Museum Learning and Research department, this includes hosting a Yoga Paint Party focus group for adults. This free workshop will be a fun opportunity for the community to connect with our work, and for us to learn more about the Yoga Paint Party experience.
Following our workshop, we’ll offer an afternoon of creative wellness fun for both families and adults!

This Hatha Yoga practice includes seated, floor, and standing postures with variations available throughout. Prepare for this practice by wearing clothes that invite ease and free movement - and be ready to celebrate your natural ability to create.
