The Jewel Box is a greenhouse located in Forest Park, St. Louis, Missouri. It now serves as a public horticultural facility and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places .It was designed by architect William C. E. Becker and built in 1936 by the Robert Paulus Construction Company. It consists of five stepped, composition-covered wood roofs with clerestories, rather than a regular glass roof, in order to prevent damage from frequent hailstorms.HistoryIn 1913, Nelson Cunliff became Commissioner of Parks and Recreation for St. Louis City. Due to high levels of smoke and soot within the city, he began a survey to determine which plants could survive the conditions. He later asked John Moritz, who was in charge of the city's greenhouses, to set up a display greenhouse to showcase various plants which could survive. It is said that someone called the displays "like a jewel box", hence the name. In 1933, Bernard Dickmann became Mayor of St. Louis and decided to build a new facility. The building cost $125,000 and William C. E. Becker, then Chief Engineer of Bridges and Buildings for the city, was assigned to design the building. Construction began on December 12, 1935 and the facility opened on November 14, 1936.
Hi and welcome to Grand Basin Yoga! My classes offer inspiration from many traditions and include meditation, intention setting, calling in the elements, and directions, pranayama and appropriately challenging asana. Classes are very focused but delivered with a sense of humor. The practice is based upon the yogis who come to class. I check in to see what the students need each time and craft my session from there. I also include energy work during practice and offer verbal guidance and cueing. I make adjustments when necessary but I prefer for my students to get to the pose naturally and over time feeling them in their own bodies. It is a very personal experience. Classes are 75 to 90 minutes and I often play singing bowls with guided meditation/visualization along with time for silence during savasana. The music comes from the fountains of overflowing joy. All levels are welcome and practice is meant to inspire not discourage beginners. The community is very welcoming and diverse. There is often live music and opportunities to connect with other students after classes. Register via www.diannalucas.com Be prepared to have fun. Class cards are available for purchase online, or you can pay the first day of your practice to avoid the $2 online processing fee. Please ask about scholarships, Danna, and pay it forward plans. New & Returning Students: Please complete the online registration form before paying for classes so I know which class you are signing up for.
