YOGA TACO MOSA
Donation-based yoga
In Ayurveda, the kapha dosha is cold, heavy, wet, thick, and slow, among other things. This dosha tends to be most present in winter and early spring. As a practice, we challenge that in yoga by building heat in the body and releasing excess water, so we can be our strongest and fittest, boosting our immune system and staving off depression.

Blind Date Live is back just in time for Mother’s Day… and how are we celebrating?
By hosting a special edition of our notorious live dating show just for MILFs, of course!
For those of you who don’t know, a MILF is a “Mother I’d Like to F***.” But listen up, pervs, before you f*** these eligible mamas, you have FIRST to date them in front of a live audience! And then maybe take them to dinner a few times. What happens after the show is really up to them. But we know they aren’t virgins… if you catch our drift.
Kick off the night with a social mixer from 7-8 pm, where you can rub elbows with the city’s hottest parents. These mommies and daddies aren’t just experts in the fine art of packing lunchboxes; they’re single, sizzling, and ready to mingle their hearts out until their 9 pm bedtime.
But wait — the show isn’t just for eligible single parents. Everyone is invited to come watch the hilarity unfold! All ages, all relationship statuses; everyone gets a steaming slice of mama’s famous apple pie.
As the blind dating show begins, prepare to be entertained by the unpredictable twists and turns of love at first sight…or at least, love at first awkward introduction-through-a-partition. Will there be instant chemistry, or will our hot moms put their dates in time-out? A good spanking isn’t always a bad thing.
And just when you thought the night couldn’t get any better, DJ Savvy G takes over, turning the Grey Eagle into the hottest dance club in town. Let loose, show off your best moves, and maybe even bump and grind with one of the evening’s stars. Blind Date Live: MILF Edition promises to be an unforgettable night of fun and fabulous Asheville moms and pops. Don’t miss the chance to be part of Asheville’s most talked-about dating show!

Citron Gallery presents an art exhibition that harmoniously weaves together the distinctive styles of two artists, each navigating the delicate balance between spontaneity and control in their unique mediums. In this captivating showcase, the ethereal paintings of fabric and mixed media artist, Lauren Betty, and the textured wonders of oil, cold wax, and mixed media by Rand Kramer converge to create an immersive experience.
Lauren transforms delicate fabrics into ethereal paintings that seem to defy gravity. Using spontaneous gestures, she allows the fabric to take on a life of its own, capturing the fluidity of emotions in each piece. The work emerges as she delicately arranges and manipulates the fabric, creating an otherworldly tapestry that invites viewers to explore the boundaries between reality and the sublime.
Rand’s controlled technique involves layering and scraping, building up a rich textures that exude both depth and mystery. This deliberate process reflects an artful balance between spontaneity and control, inviting viewers to witness the evolution of his creations.
This will also be Mosaic Realty’s 2nd annual Art Walk & Benefit night! We are one of the 14 participating galleries on the Art Walk. This free community fundraiser, open to the public, will be hosted by Mosaic Realty, and each gallery highlights a different local nonprofit. Our gallery will be supporting the work of Blue Ridge Orchestra. There will be the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets to win exciting prizes, with all raffle basket proceeds going to the highlighted organization.
