Five Ways Yoga Helps Creativity:
1. Yoga teaches you to test your boundaries, be brave, get know yourself and express it, just like art.
2. Yoga teaches joyful discipline, and art-making/writing needs that to see the light of day.
3. Yoga is a practice of being present, and whether writing or making art or making your day artful, its helpful to be in what you’re doing fully and completely and then let go of it when you’re not (aka how to avoid burnout).
4. Yoga gets you out of your head and into your body/breath/spirit so when you get back into your head its different in there. We are way more than our minds, and we need to be experientially reminded of that. The breath is a bridge to other places.
5. Yoga reminds us to plant seeds and let go of the results. Making art is similar. You do the best you can, but have to let go a lot, too.
