Life's Journey
|
"Life's Journey" - This painting was created to
celebrate new life and the journey that begins life's never-ending cycle. The
focus of the painting is the woman in a yoga pose (Prayer Pose) bringing inner
peace through appreciation of the natural world that surrounds her. The
background is set in Fort Fisher and features newly hatched turtles at the
start of their journey to the sea. They are going to greet "Jenny"
little mermaid girl who eagerly awaits their magical transition.

Praying
|
"Namaste" - Our practice teaches us to free
ourselves from competition and to let go of things that hold us back. This
allows us to open our hearts and connect with one another on another level.
"Namaste" embodies the spirit of yoga to surrender oneself and let
the world flow around you with trust and truth.

“Harmony" - Strong, tall and unwavering, the
"Mountain Pose" gives you both strength and harmony. Drawing from
your inner strength gives you courage to face the mountains before you. With a
calm, clear mind, you begin your journey and follow your heart...wherever it
leads.

"Awake" - This painting features the yoga "Tree
Pose" with outstretched arms. It represents the need for maintaining
balance in our lives. Using our focus techniques, we can travel to the beaches
of Hawaii on our own meditative vacation. The noon sun makes us feel alive and
"Awake!" We are refreshed and ready to face the day with all it holds
for us.
Waiting Quietly

Waiting Quietly

"Waiting Quietly" - By putting yoga into our
everyday lives, we learn to appreciate something as simple as "Waiting
Quietly." The woman holding this yoga sitting posture is at ease in her
flexibility. Her mind is free to let thoughts drift in and out as she reflects
on her day. As she enjoys the quiet moment, her thinking sends images from home
which now appear in the yoga studio with her, surrounding her in comfort.
Compassion

Compassion

"Compassion" - This painting transforms the surroundings of the yoga student during "Shavasana." She is in a restful state under the compassionate care of her yoga teacher. By listening to the comforting sounds of the ocean, she finds total relaxation by imagining a peaceful sleep at the beach. Her burdens are lifted and she will awake with a change in heart and spirit.
