Love This! Africa Yoga Project Photography

If you want to look at gorgeous, inspiring yoga photography, look no further than Robert Sturman. Sturman has been photographing yogis all over the world for quite a while now, and his work is extremely striking. You may already know him, since I've mentioned his photography on the blog twice before (once when sharing his images of the world's oldest yoga teacher, and once when I came across a few of his gorgeous photographs on The New York Times Well Blog), but if you aren't yet familiar with his work, you must take a look. 

So, today, I'm excited to share one of his projects that I find the most moving--his documentation of the Africa Yoga Project. Here's a little blurb from The NYT about his recent body of work:

The language of yoga is universal. That is the message of Robert Sturman, an artist from Santa Monica, Calif., who has traveled across the United States to capture the tranquillity and beauty of yoga. A month ago, Mr. Sturman traveled to Kenya to document the work of the Africa Yoga Project, a nonprofit organization that teaches and employs more than 70 local yoga teachers and conducts up to 300 free yoga classes for more than 5,000 people weekly in orphanages, prisons and other locales throughout the country.

You can view some of my favorite images from this series, below: 

Wow. The colors! The settings! The people! The compositions! The landscape! My, oh my. I could look at Sturman's work all day. To learn more, you can visit Sturman's website or facebook page. 

Thank you for sharing the beauty of yoga (and spreading the word about the Africa Yoga Project) with the world, Robert!
