What do yoga and creativity have in common? Can yoga help us tap into creative energy? Both creativity and yoga invite us into a sense of liberation. Both ask us to be present. Both require us to notice. There is an endless wellspring of creativity we can tap into, but it doesn’t always feel easy to access. Sometimes, we need to go outside. To play. Then, we can go within, and let our creative practice or our yoga practice guide us. This episode is for you, creative yogis: those of you following the creative fire, who want to be transformed by yoga, but also want to transform the world around you with your creative energy. We practice to see the yoga in everything, and to find creative energy everywhere.
