NAMI Utah Artist Project’s mission is to provide artistic opportunities to artists with mental illness in order to:

  • Ensure that the voices and ideas of artists with mental illness are present to confront negative stereotypes, which persist in the community.
  • Support the recovery of artists with mental illness through further development of their talents and providing opportunities to market and display art in the community.

 

Hearts & Minds Tip of the Week

Yoga is a great way to unite your mind and body through different poses and controlled breathing. Practicing yoga for just five or 10 minutes a day can help you relax and feel more at peace with yourself. Make sure to start slow and be in control of your body to avoid injury. Yoga is not about being perfect, but respecting what your body tells you. If you can’t fully achieve a yoga pose, its okay, do what feels right for you. Please read the following general practice guidelines before starting a yoga practice.You can also try Tai Chi or breathing exercises.

Starting yoga can be as simple as following an instructional video, like this one on basic poses for beginners. You can also look online to find a class near you.
