Yoga + Art . . . what better way to spend an afternoon?!

The final Saturday workshop in conjunction with the Upstairs Downstairs exhibit at Summit Artspace was a combined effort in two parts: Ron White, studio artist, art teacher, yoga instructor (and more) offered Yoga in the Gallery, accompanied by musician, Zach Freidhof; following this was my Chakra Art Workshop.

I used two of my favorite sources, Wheels of Life – A User’s Guide to the Chakra System by Anodea Judith and Art & Yoga – Kundalini Awakening in Everyday Life by Hari Kirin Kaur Khalsa, for background information.

After a brief introduction to both Chakra symbolism and mandalas, participants created small, circular, meditative pieces while Ron illustrated his life size Chakra chart.

Even though it was only a two hour workshop, Ron and I, with Zach’s presence, put a vibrant interlude of movement, music and art into many busy Saturday schedules. Namaste.
