Yoga Vinyasa Inspired by Paul Laib's Photographs of Barbara Hepworth's Work
Description
This is the audio version of the blog post 'Yoga Vinyasa Inspired by Paul Laib's Photographs of Barbara Hepworth's Work'. It was written and recorded by Mary Whittingdale, who did a student placement with the Courtauld Connects Conway Library digitisation project. It was first published on 8 October 2021.
Mary was inspired by Paul Laib's photographs of Barbara Hepworth's sculptures to create a yoga vinyasa. A vinyasa is a sequence of positions, one flowing after the other, guided by the breath. This type of yoga invites exploration of Hepworth’s work particularly well as attention is brought to both the poise of the figure and the fluidity of form.
You can find the written version of this post and follow the video which guides you through the vinyasa on our blog https://blog.courtauld.ac.uk/digitalmedia/2021/10/08/mary-whittingdale-yoga-vinyasa-inspired-by-paul-laibs-photographs-of-barbara-hepworths-work/
