Yoga with a Twist
Gender and Sexuality in Immersia: A trio of public book launches by CHL women authors - In collaboration with the ANU Gender Institute
Experience the harmony of body and mind at our unique yoga showcase, Yoga with a Twist, presented by the ANU School of Culture, History & Language as part of its annual flagship cultural festival, Immersia. This immersive event combines the launch of Flexible India, the latest book from Dr Shameem Black, a practical postural yoga session conducted by Alan Goode from Yoga Mandir, as well a creative collage-making workshop designed to enrich your understanding of yoga.
We will kick off with an invigorating yoga session that will guide you through postures to enhance flexibility, strength, and mindfulness. Following this, we are excited to host the launch of Shameem’s latest book about how yoga is used to negotiate competing ideas in popular culture.
To cap it all off, unleash your creativity in our collage-making workshop, where you can explore and express your personal yoga journey through art.
Whether you're a seasoned yogi or a curious beginner, Yoga with a Twist promises a holistic experience that nurtures both body and mind.
Namaste and join us for a day of bending, bonding, and bliss!
Shameem's work uses critical and creative approaches to analyse twenty-first-century fiction and popular culture from India and its diaspora. Key themes in her work include gender, memory, and cross-cultural practice.
