The stage and set of the Children’s Shakespeare Theater will also be open, as will many of the other micro-industries that call Bell-ans home.
Bell-ans is proud to congratulate Naomi Camilleri, the founder and owner of Playful Yoga Space on her one-year anniversary. Camilleri began practicing yoga in 2001, and immediately fell in love. Focusing exclusively on Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga at first, her practice gradually broadened to incorporate elements of other yogic traditions.
“From my very first class I knew that yoga was more than just a practice on the mat, but a way of life, an opening and awakening of the mind, and a vehicle to self-realization of the spirit,” Camilleri said.
“There are many ways to expand your consciousness here at Bell-ans,” said Phyllis Dodge, creative director and owner. “Kids and families can find fitness, wellness, dramatic and visual arts in a bucolic setting that’s close to home…there really is no place like Bell-ans…”
Founded in 1897, the historic Bell-ans building celebrated its 120th anniversary last year. Bell-ans is located at 4 Bell Lane in Orangeburg NY. For more details, please call 845-596-0870 or visit www.bellans.com.
