Emily Darling
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008
Kansas City, Missouri. A year ago I did a photo shoot for my friend (almost a niece*) Emily Darling who owns, runs and teaches at Darling Yoga.
Emily is the real deal: a spectacular yoga teacher and practitioner with an open, warm heart and gentle touch. She really is a special person.
What’s interesting about Emily is that it’s almost impossible to tease apart how beautiful she is from how beautiful she is. That’s how beautiful she is.
I took hundreds of images of the various teachers and classes at Darling Yoga and I’m still working on processing them. I posted about the shoot here.
Today The National Catholic Reporter posted a podcast interview with Emily: Yoga: Living from your heart. Both episodes are worth a listen.
Congratulations Emily.
*Emily is my wife’s first husband David Darling’s niece and I knew her mother Pam professionally before I met my own wife. Small world.
I can’t wait, when will be open yoga class in my town. Now before sleep I read “Yoga history”, and how you see, I reading all yours post about it. Richard how long you doing yoga? and how it change your life ?
Gedas: I’ve been doing yoga for almost two years. I only do it once and maybe twice a week. I take a class once a week and do it on my own once.
I find it very relaxing and meditative and given that I spend a lot of time in a chair computing it’s a nice antidote.
I’ve also been taking long walks in the woods for the past few months and I’m trying to do at least one if not two or three walks a week in addition to the yoga.
All of this stuff is useful physically and psychologically.
And, the yoga is great to photograph and I can carry a camera on my walks and take pictures too. It’s all good.
