Yoga for the artist(Today in class)

While working, artists tend to sit or stand in awkward positions.
The shoulders like to roll inward when we’re drawing, which pulls
on the trapezius and romboids. Over time, this can also shorten
the pectoralis major, decreasing flexibility in the shoulders,
chest, neck, and upper back. This poor posture can also create
other probelms. Ow.
Every day, more and more artists add digital art to their
creative arsenal. Great for their careers but not so great for
their bodies. ALL the extra sitting compounds existing aches
and pains, and will almost certainly create some new ones.
Without taking time to counter stretch all the sitting, slouch-
ing, and slumping, the body becomes tight and imbalanced.

Sandra has agreed to do a workshop for us and start the conversation about how stretching/yoga can benefit your studio practice.

I've added a website called Yoga for Artist to the permanent blog list as well.
