Yoga for Creatives follows the eight limbs of yoga as its guide. Extended time will be spent in each posture with a focus on how each posture informs the individual’s creativity. They will only move into the next pose once they achieve effortless breathing.
Yamas – to do no harm
Niyamas – self-awareness
Asanas – effortlessly aligning oneself with the universal Pranayama – effortless breathing
Pratyahara – shutting out the world
Dharana – focusing attention
Dhyana – absorption resulting from attention
Samadhi – non-judgemental self-realization
Each practice will begin with a stacking of the joints in Mountain Pose. This will give the yogi the opportunity to align themself with the universe, their place in it, and the source of their creativity. While in Mountain Pose and every subsequent pose, they will focus on their breathing until it becomes effortless, the Yamas and their self-talk remaining in the pose until they accept their limitations, breathing into it and moving beyond. As they focus inward, searching for and recognizing their creative connection with the universe, they shut out the world and absorb themselves in the very essence of their creativity. Finding the source of and anchoring themself in the source of their creativity brings self-realization, a rewiring of neural pathways in the brain that will lead them to the source of their creativity whenever they encounter artist’s block.
