fig-2 38/50: Josh Wright & Guillaume Vandame: Karimah Ashadu’s Everlasting Yoga

Quite often, practitioners in the art of holistic wellbeing are subject to their own internal turmoil. What would it be to experience a yoga class where everything is out on the table?

Everlasting Yoga is shaped by ten asanas. The artist constructs a series of postures based on narratives pertaining to circumstances in her life. Participants are invited to partake in each of these states.

A problem shared is a problem halved.
