I spent some time with a friend today, someone who is very advanced in their yoga practice. I’ve admittedly not been doing any for some time, and many of the things she was saying resonated with me – this idea of pushing and pulling, giving and taking back, breathing in and breathing out…a flow of energy through your body. In that moment you almost feel like the ground beneath your feet is an extension of your body, as if there is no longer any boundary to your physical self.
Funnily enough, it kind of reflects what I was thinking about with cubism in the last post. The difference is, the breath carries that energy, from the earth through your centre and out again. There is a wonderful feeling of connection. So I am reminded to try bring some yoga practice back into my daily routine.
I’ve tried to capture this feeling and energy in this image. Inevitably, it is a dynamic sketch, showing a static heaviness in the resting arms, moving to reach up to the sky.
