Trikonasana - Yoga Art by Nancy Van Kanegan

Description

For years I've been searching for Yoga Art that is both decorative and depicts the postures in ways that honor and respect the forms of classic asana. I originally stumbled onto this collection while doing research on the physical postures. Surfing the web with the key words "inverted staff pose", I came to the website of The Chicago Yoga Center. They had asked one of their yoga instructors, accomplished artist Nancy Van Kanegan, to provide illustrations for the postures on their site. Immediately, I knew this was the work I had been hoping to find. Nancy tells me that she originally came to yoga by way of studying art. She says that, "As art functions to integrate the various aspects of culture, so yoga integrates the diversity of the human being, "yoking" the physical, mental and spiritual self." Both art and yoga, according to Nancy, " are concerned with accessing inner intelligences that are not often recognized by our modern world. In each teaching situation, a sense of delight fills the space, as this discovery happens. The impressions, sensations and images I absorb, while teaching, continue to feed my artistic projects." And now they can feed us too. Each print is on acid free, 100 pound cover stock and should retain it's beauty for many years.
