Orchards, WA Indoor Activities

Elida Field’s sources of inspiration have ranged from regal horses to lush flowers to undulating Italian landscapes—which she revisits from time to time with fledgling art lovers in Italian art tours. Painted straight from the heart with a little help from the hands, her most recent works find her exploring the feminine form as she combines drawing and color with collages of photos and inspiring quotes. Her works have been showcased in Texas, Oregon, and Washington while on vacation from her studio, which doubles as a teaching space.

When M'ai Vox discovered yoga, she found peace, stillness, and a new life purpose. As the owner of Stellar Yoga—a Vinyasa-style studio—she assembled a staff of certified Yoga Alliance instructors who teach classes with diverse, flowing sequences that meld movement, breath, and thought. True to Vinyasa style, instructors cruise through poses at a relatively fast pace. This helps students build internal heat, which enhances flexibility and facilitates solidarity with coal-burning stoves.

M'ai's instructors help students focus on yogic foundations such as proper alignment and breathing. They also teach traditional belly dance moves that tone abs and obliques. During donation-only karma classes, experienced yogis and yoginis in training offer their services to raise money for community events and fund the yoga practices of those in need.
