GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Community Access to the Arts (CATA) is hosting free yoga and art-making programs for parents, caregivers, and their kids and teens with disabilities.

 

Workshops will take place at the CATA studios in Great Barrington every Saturday morning in March (March 4, 11, 18, and 25) from 10 a.m to noon.

 

Light refreshments will be provided.

 

The workshops are part of CATA's new series of "Create & Restore" programs, designed to relieve stress and promote wellbeing for people with disabilities and their caregivers. 

 

In this program, caregivers will enjoy a gentle yoga class, led by CATA faculty Paula Boyajian—while the young person with a disability they care for enjoys a painting class in a separate studio, led by faculty Hilary VanWright. Each program is free of charge and participants are welcome to attend as many workshops as they like.

 

All levels and abilities are welcome (no experience is necessary).

 

Registration is preferred but drop-in's are okay. Families and caregivers can sign up by emailing Kara Smith (Kara@CATAarts.org) or by calling CATA at 413-528-5485. More information, including COVID safety protocols, can be found at https://cataarts.org/2023/02/21/create-and-restore/.
