These portraits, exhibited at Latitude 53 Gallery and at McMullen Gallery are intended both as a celebration and a homage to the healing aspects of yoga. The personal healing stories that are captured in these portraits speak to real experiences with yoga in the context of challenging life circumstances, including addiction, emotional trauma, injury and illness. It is hoped that these beautifully bold and vulnerable images make a contribution to, and expand, the prevailing North American paradigm of yoga as merely a fitness-oriented activity for the body conscious.
