Classes are held Monday through Friday, 7am to 8:30am. See if it is a right fit for you--enjoy your first week of class for free. Contact Sifu Joseph Wang at info@sunshen.org or (734) 531-8796 for more information.

Art Exhibition: Blood Underwater: U-M Residential College and Arts at Michigan.
< less
Blood Underwater is a collaborative work, which encourages deep thinking and creative expression. It provides a voice for community members and activists, especially from political, national, racial, religious and other minorities, to express their concerns about global suffering through art. Participants gather around a large canvas with paints and music and are guided through a series of artistic expressions by "artivist" Elshafei Dafalla. The purpose is to use art to protest against violence, torture, enforced disappearances and other forms of brutality.
Eishafei Dafalla received a Bachelor of Arts in Sculpture from the College of Fine and Applied Art at the University for Science and Technology in Khartoum, Sudan as well as a Diploma in Folklore from the Afro-Asian Institute at the University of Khartoum. He earned a Master of Fine Arts from the Stamps School of Art and Design at University of Michigan.

"Suspension-Extension Coyopa Yoga": Mota Thai Yoga.
< less
Yoga--unlike other yoga class you've taken before. This high intensity class uses straps (similar to TRX) to stretch muscles that can be difficult to stretch in other exercises. Class starts with some stretching, and once the body warms up, begins to pick up the pace. You will work on a flow sequence that will get the heart rate up. The straps are used to help balance and stretch deeper (and safely) into yoga postures. Usually you will feel the stretches in your tighter/weakest muscles first. Your first couple classes may be intense, but if you continue to come to this class, you will notice big changes! This class can help build strength, relieve pain, release tension, increase flexibility, and prevent injury. The studio will be heated between 90-95 degrees for this class, so bring a water bottle. Your first class at the studio is free!
You can park in the studio's parking lot for free. Same parking lot as the Yellow Barn. Look for the #22 blue door with a red buddha on it.

Nellie McKay: The Ark.
< less
Ebullient pop-cabaret chanteuse and songwriter whose music somehow manages to come off as at once hip and retro, both disarmingly conventional and disconcertingly offbeat. "McKay's music evokes the lost elegance of pre-Elvis pop music because she recognizes that such stylishness and wit are worth pursuing," says the Washington Post. "But those goals inevitably collide with the realities of money, sex, and politics, and she documents those collisions in her tongue-in-cheek lyrics, emphatic beats, and bubbly melodies." Her recordings range from the Doris Day tribute CD Normal as Blueberry Pie and My Weekly Reader, a collection of mostly forgotten 60s delights, to Sister Orchid, her 2018 collection of standards that's been described as "an American noir travelogue, part Kerouac, part Chandler, all Nellie McKay."
