Doggy Down and Yoga

While doing yoga the other day, I was in the ‘doggy down’ stance. I remembered looking at my own dog that morning and observing her doing something similar. So many of those yoga poses relate to animals and nature. There are the zebra, camel, howling cat, tortoise, cow, cobra, lotus, and tree poses. Plus the willow, sun salutation, and ocean breath movements. Can we mimic and learn from nature? Of course! Do I use nature as a source of inspiration for my artwork? Of course!

A very popular set of yoga poses are called the warrior poses. Many of my Arborglyph monoprint symbols resemble something in life. The symbol to the left reminds me of one of the many yoga warrier poses. See all that positive energy eminating from the ‘body’!
