This summer, art and wellness unite in Aberdeen as the Beyond Van Gogh immersive exhibition introduces exclusive yoga and Pilates sessions amidst the famed artist’s work.
Set to take place at the state-of-the-art P&J Live venue from 12 July to 10 August 2025, the exhibition offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience wellness classes surrounded by Vincent van Gogh’s stunning masterpieces.
The highlight of the programme includes bespoke yoga classes on Saturday mornings, designed to inspire calm and serenity as Van Gogh’s vibrant works shimmer and move around participants in the immersive space.
For those looking to strengthen their core, the exhibition is also debuting Pilates sessions in the UK, offering a unique opportunity to exercise against the backdrop of one of history’s most influential artists.
Led by experienced instructors, these sessions cater to all skill levels and aim to create a deeper connection between movement, mindfulness, and art.
Yoga practitioner Anna Wilson will guide sessions on 26 July and 2 August at 9am, while Pilates expert Emily Robbie will lead her class on 17 July at 6:30pm.
Each session lasts 50 minutes and costs £36.40, which includes entry to the full exhibition.
Spaces are limited, and demand is high, with tickets already on sale.
Participants are encouraged to bring their cameras to capture the immersive experience while they practise.
The Beyond Van Gogh exhibition, produced by Annerin Productions and Paquin Entertainment Group, features over 300 of the artist’s works brought to life through cutting-edge projection technology and a specially curated musical score.
Visitors can explore iconic pieces such as The Starry Night, Sunflowers, and Café Terrace at Night as they come alive in vivid detail, creating an emotional and interactive experience.
After receiving rave reviews in Glasgow last summer, Beyond Van Gogh is returning to the UK, with Aberdeen being the first city announced for 2025.
The show has already captivated over five million visitors across North America and beyond.
P&J Live, Aberdeen’s premier event venue, is perfectly equipped to host the exhibition.
Opened in 2019, the £333 million complex is powered sustainably by local renewable energy sources and offers world-class facilities.
The exhibition begins in the Introduction Hall, where visitors can connect with Van Gogh’s story through personal letters to his brother Theo.
From there, they are transported into the Immersive Room, where the artist’s paintings break free from their frames and come alive, filling the walls and floors with swirling colours and dreamlike imagery.
VIP Experience tickets, which include flexible arrival times, fast-track entry, and exclusive merchandise, are available alongside family ticket options and on-site shopping for Van Gogh-themed items.
Anna Parry of Annerin Productions said:
“Art offers a universal connection and a space for self-reflection. Bringing yoga and Pilates into this immersive experience adds a unique layer of emotional depth and tranquillity.
“I’m thrilled Aberdeen is the first UK city to host our Pilates sessions, and I know visitors will leave feeling inspired and enriched by this magical pairing of wellness and art.”
Whether you’re a yoga enthusiast, a Pilates devotee, or simply an art lover, this summer’s Beyond Van Gogh experience promises to be unforgettable.
