Welcome to a fresh new series focused on the interplay of yoga and creativity. Over the next eight weeks we’ll explore  yoga poses for creativity and ways to infuse our lives with more creativity. We are all creative and exude our creativity in numerous ways — from the clothes we wear to the color of pens we use to the way we organize our files. All these are simple choices we make every day that offer us a chance to think outside the box. I’m starting our eight-week journey off with an encouragement to define your life as art — a true masterpiece. You already know you are one of a kind, now let’s relish in the creation of this magnum opus and consciously design our colorful canvas.

By defining your life as a work of art, each brushstroke, each decision, each player, each piece has significant value. Start to envision your life as the creation of a museum-worthy masterpiece. What do you want to see — colors, players, life-defining moments, milestones? Let your canvas unfold into images that make your heart sing. If you don’t like what you see, how can you begin making small changes to make certain pieces of your life more prominently displayed and to lessen any parts that are overshadowing?

You control your artistic touches and can start anew anytime. You are given a fresh canvas every day to repaint with a renewed outlook. Enjoy the evolution of this ongoing work of art and cultivate creativity in all you do.
