Detroit Evolution Laboratory will reopen on April 1 with an expanded six-day-a-week class schedule and a new feature: open
hours throughout the day for people to gather and drink coffee or tea, browse the community library, do homework and hold meetings.
This week, construction on the Lab will expand its classroom space and add a partition that will allow more than one activity to be held at a time. The expansion will accommodate 20 students per yoga class, up from about 10.
The Lab was founded in 2007 by husband and wife team Angela Kasmala and Gregg Newsom. To help grow their offerings and extend their reach, they have brought in a partner, Alan Scheurman, who will be programming a variety of evening workshops, classes and events.
The yoga schedule will be 8 a.m. on weekdays, 10 a.m. and noon on Saturdays, noon on Wednesdays, 5:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays and 7 p.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays. Other classes that will be offered -- check the
Detroit Evolution Laboratory web site for times and details -- include vegan, raw food, meditation, shamanism and body awareness.
Each month on the night of the Full Moon, the lab will be open for live music, poetry, art, and workshops. On April 9, the art of Jeffery Thomas of the Woodbridge-based band Gardens will be showcased beginning at 7 p.m.
