In brief

Experience a serene yoga studio when the shit hits the fan—a solo performance by a yoga professional. The yum and yuck sides of the wildly popular practice of posturing, breathing and sometimes sweating are humourously explored in a physical reflection on what it really means to follow your bliss.

Show description

Take off your shoes and get comfortable—you’re in a yoga studio after all. Yum/Yuck combines moments of quiet reflection with incredible physical fortitude and flexibility. Performer and yoga instructor Ingrid Nilson offers a look behind the spandex suited scene at a studio with all its quirks, quibbles and full-on food-flinging fights.  Complete with contortion, controversy and physical comedy. Audiences may giggle, gain insight or get grossed out. Increase intuitive awareness by finding your attraction and aversion in this playful perversion.
