Yoga for Inspiration & Creativity

The practice of yoga & meditation inspires a bridge between day to day life & a deeply fulfilled creative life.  Yoga allows one to create space for themselves. Staying true to oneself, living in the body & not just the mind.  In both yoga & meditation we cultivate breath that allows us to tap into relaxation response, these are places where inspiration & energy can be found.  This practice allows us to become more grounded, more focused & incredibly inspired (if you let it in).

yo·ga
ˈyōɡə/
noun
a Hindu spiritual and ascetic discipline, a part of which, including breath control, simple meditation, and the adoption of specific bodily postures, is widely practiced for health and relaxation.

These are effects that the I never expected to experience when I first started on this journey with a yoga practice. I had found enjoyment in the practice as a means to gain strength to keep up on family hikes, it has clearly become so much more. As an artist, wife & mother the clear yoga mind stays with me off the mat allowing me to remain calm, focused, spiritually connected & creative. My practice is consistently bringing me to new places in my mind & body. I'm not always certain if it's the movement, the sweat, the oxygen or a combination of all of these things, but in my early 40's I have been rejuvenated with a wealth of inspiration & passion that I'm fairly certain would not be present in my life without this practice.
Trust the yoga, I do.

I’ve been inspired to bring my art to new places in the last year becoming WEARABLE!  At Orange Sky Creations, I create colorful improvisational pastel drawings, inspired by the natural beauty of our earth & my own yoga practice. The art is then printed onto super soft fabric with eco-friendly printing processes & sewn into ultra comfortable yoga pants all here in the USA.

The original artworks are also available in the online gallery.
