Collaborative artists - A Million Thanks!

During our book project we have been fortunate to receive much appreciated help from several brilliant professionals. Without their efforts and wholehearted generosity the book would not have been what it is today.

We would like to show our deepest appreciation and give a million thanks to the following artists for their collaboration on the book:

 

HANNA von HAFENBRÄDL
Illustrations throughout the book

 

Hanna's beautiful work can be seen throughout the book in the form of illustrations accompanying the different life stories. Her artwork is like icing on the cake and gives our book that personal touch that we were looking for <3

 

"Hanna was tagging along as a stylist during one of our photo shoots and as the true yoga enthusiast she is, she offered to help us out with illustrations in the book. I am tremendously glad I took Hanna up on her offer and I warmly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a skilled illustrator", Sofia comments on the collaboration with Hanna.

 

Hanna has also recently been certified as a yoga teacher and she is now giving her own yoga classes in Helsinki at Pranama yoga studio. Hanna loves teaching private groups and regular office yoga groups in Helsinki.

DOMINIKA MONTONEN-KOIVISTO
Photographs of Sofia

  

"When I needed help with taking some pictures on myself to be included in the book, I knew just who to contact: Lovely, giggling crazy-about-photography Domi! Talented as she is, Domi is always ready to shoot and not scared of trying something new. The shoot went exactly as I had wished and planned for the book", Sofia laughs regarding working with Domi.

 

Domi is not just into photography, her real passion is making unique personal jewellery for those special moments in life or for simply putting a silver lining on your everyday life.

You can find Domi's photography portfolio online at www.designdomi.com/dmk-photography and have a look at her stunning collection of hand made jewellery at www.designdomi.com

 

 

NADINE LUCAS 
Mandala illustration for book logo 

 

We thank Nadine for lending us her charismatic mandala drawing to form part of the logo on our book and blog. "When I saw the mandala on the internet I just knew it was the perfect symbol for our book, it is intriguing, beautiful and imperfectly perfect, hand made with heart and soul!" says Sofia about designing the book logo. 

 

'Mandala' is a Sanskrit word for 'circle' and it is a spiritual symbol representing the universe. 

Nadine is studying expressive arts therapies in the US and she is interested in doing art therapy workshops with women and children around helping them in recovery from addictions, relationships, trauma, self-esteem issues etc.

You can get a hold of Nadine via e-mail nadineelucas@gmail and see more of her work online at www.flickr.com/photos/n_lucas.

The shocking truth about your health

In this TEDx talk Lissa Rankin tells us that the most powerful means we have to improve our health is not directly related to the physical, in other words is it not about how we eat or how much we exercise or what medication we have access to. Rather it is all about being able to live a meaningful life with people you love and not being drained by stress, financial problems or anxiety of some sort.

 

This idea is very similar to what we learned through the interviews in our book; namely the importance of taking care of the whole you, not just the physical, but also the mental side of you. The true wonders of yoga are not merely restricted to whether we are able to perform certain acrobatic poses or how fit we are physically (although an improved physique most often comes as a nice side effect of yoga). What our interviewees tell us is how yoga has granted them with peace of mind, a better understanding of self and thereby a greater appreciation for life.

 

Watch Lissa Rankin's shocking truth about your health here and now!
