The Sanctuary for Yoga will exhibit paintings by artist and registered yoga teacher Lauri Andreacchio, whose artwork is realistically based and an expressionistic view of her life. To celebrate the opening, The Sanctuary for Yoga is hosting a fun, creative workshop, from 6 to 8 p.m., May 17, followed by an opening reception and meet-and-greet with the artist from 8 to 10 p.m. The workshop is designed to help participants tap into their inner child and release their creative spirit through drawing, asana, pranayama and meditation.

Adreacchio’s experiences as a yoga instructor plus her personal yoga practice have deepened her art and enabled her to explore more. “Ultimately, the work is about getting beyond the barriers which block individuals from finding truth,” says Andreacchio, who holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Tyler School of Art at Temple University.

Cost: $30. Location: 43 S. Main St., Medford. For more information or to register (required) for the opening and workshop, call 609-953-7800 or visit TheSanctuaryForYoga.com. For more information about Andrecchio, visit LauriAndreacchio.com.
