For me, Yoga & Painting are inexorably intertwined. To put it simply, painting IS my yoga.

The word "Yoga" is derived from the Sanskrit root "Yuj", meaning unite. As per Yogic scriptures, the practice of yoga leads to the union of individual consciousness with that of Universal Consciousness, indicating a perfect harmony between the mind and body, man & nature.
