Lectures, seminars and workshops held at Polli Talu Arts Center inspire and challenge the body, mind and spirit. They cover disciplines as diverse as visual arts, performing arts, yoga, Reiki, bodywork, alternative medicine, spirituality, ecology and philosophy.

Lecturers and teachers interested in giving lectures, seminars or workshops should contact Marika Blossfeldt, Artistic Director. Fees and conditions will be worked out on an individual basis.

Performances are typically organized at the end of an artist's residency. The artist presents the work he or she created at Polli Talu Arts Center, be it a work-in-progress or a finished piece. The presentation may be informal, like an open rehearsal or more formal like a studio performance.

Performances take place at the Dance Studio or outside if it is a site-specific work. Generally performances are offered free of charge to the local audience.

Kundalini Yoga Morning Practice is open to all guests of the center free of charge Mondays through Fridays, June through September. People from neighboring villages and towns are welcome to join as well and may pay what they wish or bring a gift from their garden in exchange.

Marika Blossfeldt, 3HO-certified Kundalini Yoga instructor, gives morning practice on the days that she is present at the Center. It is best to call the evening before to confirm that there will be yoga practice the next morning: 47-75363. Morning yoga begins at 8 a.m. and lasts for one hour.

Kundalini Yoga is based on Yogi Bhajan's teachings. A dynamic form of yoga, combining postures, stretching, movement, meditation, breathing, and chanting, it stimulates the glands, strengthens the nervous system, opens meridians, and balances chakras. It calms the mind and increases our capacity for concentration and intuition. Ultimately, it brings us to a deeper understanding of our potentials and ourselves and allows for a harmonious merging of body, mind and soul with the universal energy surrounding us.
