Robert Sturman Yoga Photography Workshop





Saturday I went to a Photography Workshop at You and the Mat in Laguna Nigel.  Robert Sturman, a well known yoga photographer was there to teach us how to compose an interesting yoga photo.

The class was informative and I left with a new perspective on how to shoot asanas (yoga poses).  I now will approach them as sort of a dynamic yoga sculpture.

The studio was beautiful.  It is set up like an art gallery, with art installations on the walls, and open throughout like a gallery/yoga space.  It was light and airy with doors opening up to a garden.

The drive up to Laguna wasn't bad, it took just over an hour, however, the drive back was a nightmare.  It took 4 hours to drive 70 miles, and it was the hottest day of the year so far.  I survived,  I also had the opportunity to drive through some really cute beach towns, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Del Mar, Cardiff, I live in Ocean Beach and it just seemed these towns were so much nicer and cleaner.
