Art Museum Moves

LAMCA is one of the best art museums in Los Angeles. Every time I visit, which is maybe once a year, I always leave saying, “I should come here more often!”

As yogis we draw inspiration from almost everything involved in the human experience. Many agree, yoga is a wonderful combination of science and art.

My Aunt and Uncle came to visit Los Angles on a rainy day. They had cabin fever and they had it bad. I picked them up and we went to LACMA. Thank goodness they are open on Mondays!

Art can be incredibly inspirational. On a spontaneous visit to the art museum, you never know where the inspiration is going to come from.

After viewing several exhibitions my Aunt saw a sign for Latin American exhibit. My Aunt is immersed in the Latin American culture. She lived in Columbia for 18 years.

It was on the top floor of the Art of Americas building. As soon as we walked in the lobby of the pre historic Columbian collection,  we were in another world.

I found myself looking at figures doing “yoga” movements. Of course I call them yoga because I recognized the poses from my yoga practice. This creates an even deeper understanding of why these movements have lasted the test of time, they work! They’ve been beneficial for centuries.

Side note, their cafe, Coffee and Milk , has the best almond milk lattes I’ve ever had! 

Yoga Tip

Although these figures inspired me (and these poses happen to be a part of my regular practice), one must always practice the movements that are best for their body. Work with someone you trust to support and guide you. 

Practicing yoga and immersing yourself in an art museum on a rainy day, both enriching experiences.
