In conjunction with the exhibition "The Vision and Art of Shinjo Ito," The Westwood Art Forum is presenting a series of free events that include guided meditation classes, yoga, discussions and a day programmed for children. Spaces are filling up fast, but there is still plenty of availability starting this Thursday for events throughout May and June.

The different yoga classes encompass Anusara, Hatha and interestingly, symphonic where instructor Brad Keimach sets the practice to the classical music of Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms.

Shinjo Ito (1906-1989), founder of the Shinnyo-en stream of Buddhism, was one of Japan's most versatile sculptors who was also quite accomplished in the fields of calligraphy and photography. The exhibition runs until June 29.

Events are free and open to the public. Space is limited and online reservations are required.
