Eliza Lynn and her gorgeous baby!

Just like my previous post about my favourite artist and author, Eliza Lynn Tobin is another favourite artist of mine too. I have been following her blog for 2 years now ever since I found intuitive painting and yoga a form of self-expression.

I was mesmerized with these artworks; I remember the first time I came across these exact ones in Eliza's blog and was astounded by its colours, images and words expressed through illustrations of Yoga poses. It makes you want to do these poses.

Eliza, like the other artists I know and love, was very generous and nice to share her art pieces with me to feature on the blog. I told her that my purpose in sharing these art picks is to inspire my readers, she immediately sent me her pieces in her next reply. If you would like to buy her art pieces, you can find it here or work with her here.

Yoga always reminded me of the century-old Indian dance, Bharata Natyam; each pose, each step tells a profound story. As a child, I was always amazed with the classical and sacred Indian dance, even though I don't really know much about it; perhaps that is why I find Yoga mystical too. And maybe that is why I always felt curious about the Indian race and culture (my love is of mix Indian-Chinese parentage) and its spiritual practices.

I remember the first Yoga position I did- the Tree Pose. I remember how it made me feel; it reminded me that my soul was strong and so is my body.

Perhaps this is what Eliza aim to create too- her astounding Yoga artworks deliver that sort of sensation that makes you want to get up, breath in the universe, be one with the ground, do a pose for as long as you can, and then thank the Universe.

Namaste~
