Welcome to my ceramic journey! For over two decades, I’ve been dedicated to the art of ceramics while simultaneously exploring the depths of yoga practice and teaching. These two seemingly distinct paths have unexpectedly converged, offering intriguing parallels and insights that shape my approach to creating pottery.
Discovering the Resonance:
Drawing from my experience in yoga, I’ve uncovered a remarkable connection between molding clay and understanding the essence of body movements. Both the flexibility of clay and the fluidity of the human body respond to focused intention, mindful direction, and a deep understanding of their innate nature.
Embracing Wheel Throwing and Pinching:
Among the varied ceramic techniques, wheel throwing and pinching have become my cherished avenues of expression. Working with clay on the wheel or delicately pinching it into intricate forms evokes the same mindfulness and deliberate movements I cultivate in my yoga practice. Each motion becomes a dance, an alignment of mind, body, and material.
Infusing Yoga Wisdom into Ceramics:
The wisdom gained from years of teaching and practicing yoga has naturally woven into my creative process with ceramics. Just as yoga teaches the importance of breath, balance, and flow, these principles seamlessly integrate into my interaction with clay. There’s a profound sense of alignment and harmony in coaxing clay into beautiful, functional pieces akin to guiding the body through yoga postures.
Conclusion:
As I embark on this creative journey, I invite you to explore the union of my two passions. Through this blog, I’ll share insights, techniques, and stories that unveil the artistic fusion between ceramics and yoga, revealing how each discipline informs and enriches the other.
