Yoga Meets Art in a Sculpture Studio.

The present practice of an ancient art gets more interesting with an extra pair of eyes and hands.

Meet the combination of two equally ancient arts, reunited under the same roof: a sculptor’s studio — both captured by a newer art, photography, the storyteller.

“Art is the elimination of the unnecessary,” says Pablo Picasso.

“And so is Yoga,” says Photography.

Robert Sturman

A dedicated Yoga practitioner, photographer Robert Sturman has increasingly focused on capturing the timeless grace and embodied mindfulness of asana in his work. His portraits, whether set in the lively streets of Manhattan, the expansive beaches and canyons of Malibu, the timeless elegance of Walden's New England, or the bleakness of Marin County's San Quentin Prison, remind us that there is beauty everywhere. In Sturman's own words, "I often think of Rumi's words, 'I can't stop pointing to the beauty.' That feels right to me." Sturman's honors include Official Artist of the 47th Annual Grammy Awards, 2010 FIFA World Cup Artist Representing America, and Official Artist 2007 United States Olympics. In 2012 and 2013, Sturman was the subject of two separate New York Times articles celebrating his photographs of Yoga from around the world. You can find out more about Robert’s work at his online studio and connect with him via Facebook and Twitter.
