Harry Dinwiddie, Eye Level’s charming new yoga instructor, is excited about bringing his love of spiritual body movement to the 103 Gallery on Tuesday nights.
He has been teaching for two years now, including a year at The Blue Turtle, and practicing for over six. Harry has developed an interesting twist on an old medium. Harry enjoys playing more upbeat music during his sessions because he feels it, “offers a chance to connect to the environment and elements and let ones’ self go with the flow of the music.” He enjoys practicing yoga to the soundtrack of his own life.
While Harry does lovethe soothing sounds of Tibetan bowls and traditional chanting, he tries to bring yoga into his everyday world by listening to music he enjoys on a daily basis.
Years ago, Harry was sick and tired of being out of shape. Working out and dieting were not getting him as far as he wanted; luckily, a friend dragged him to his first yoga class and he was hooked. When asked what about yoga makes Harry so satisfied, he replied, “It’s the centered and balanced feeling I receive from calming the mind and focusing, anything physical is just [a] bonus. I practice yoga to become aware of my true self and appreciate all that the universe provides to me.”
So lay your mat down and enjoy some relaxing introspection and a refreshing light workout with Harry Dinwiddie at Eye Level’s 103 Gallery on Tuesday evenings at 630. -CG

Meet the Fork + Brush Chef : Iverson Brownell
Chef Iverson Brownell, of Iverson Catering, will be preparing the delectable fare for our Fork & Brush series on January 27. Raised by artists and trained locally at Johnson and Wales University, Iverson is the perfect chef to compliment fine art with edible art. His Lowcountry upbringing and subsequent move out west has influenced Iverson to blend a range of styles for an interesting palette sensation. While living in Utah, the call of home brought Iverson and his catering business back to Charleston, which is able to furnish any size event including tastings, weddings, private yacht dinners and the Spoleto Festival events. Iverson has been highlighted on various national networks including The Discovery Channel, The Travel Channel, The Food Network, and ESPN and has even spent time as the Executive Chef in a gourmet restaurant reachable only by sleigh and without electricity or running water. This is a meticulous chef who takes great care and pride in every aspect of the noshing experience, from the venue to the servers. Iverson says, “The little details are what make the biggest difference.” Guests of Eye Level’s Fork & Brush series are assured to be impressed with the four course presentation Iverson has lined up.
Reservations are $129.00 and include a cocktail hour with passed hors d’oeuvres as well as special wine pairing with each course.
