’THIS is yoga’

Both yoga and photography are passions of mine, and I’ve always known I wanted to somehow combine them.

But yoga is not external. It isn’t about aesthetics. How to capture that in a medium that’s all about the visual, how something looks? Well, I think there’s a way..

Show off handstands, cartwheeling into the splits, pushing unhealthily into the most difficult form of a pose..they’re not yoga (to me). But..

  • The inner calm that emanates from one

  • The radiant smile in another

  • Bright, kind eyes

  • A joyous movement and energy that is clearly coming from something within..

I didn’t invent the phrase but I am claiming the capital letters in ‘THIS’. In contrast to most of what we are fed to believe about it, to my mind, THIS is yoga.

Like a good cup of tea, this idea has been brewing for some time and I’m proud and happy to start sharing it.

THIS is my project. THIS is yoga.
