Yoga ~ Anne Nowell

Those who “model” yoga poses know that a good photo is a combination of lighting, skill of the photographer, and some understanding of the postures. For every good shot there are many attempts. I have been blessed in my career as a yoga instructor to have worked with several fine photographers.

As I move into maturity I would hope the outcome of a photo session would likewise reflect that maturity. I feel in these photos photographer, Yvonne Venegas, has captured the essence of my yoga in 2009. Life in middle age has many gifts not the least of which is no longer needing to prove oneself. I look forward to aging gracefully and embracing the strength and power of the “crone” years.

Thanks to Yvonne, her father and daughter for the beautiful outcome of Photos Spring 2009. Many thanks to our Gurus, K Pattabhi Jois & T Krishnamacharya, and to all of you who have shared thus far in my yoga journey.

Namaste
