Sukha Yoga

A Creative Weekend

Between teaching and yoga, my favorite moments are behind the camera. I love turning seemingly unrelated objects into a story through light, shadow, line, and angle, so you feel like you’re walking beside me.

Today was overcast, with the sun peeking through only now and then, and I found myself drawn to lines and repetition. A couple of weeks ago, bright sunshine had me photographing flowers and the colours of a New Zealand spring. Same intention, but a completely different mood.

Here are some of my favorites. I hope you like them too.

Wishing you a bright and joyful Diwali!

Like yoga, photography brings separate elements together into one whole. Back home, retouching the photos let me enjoy the morning all over again.
