The Still Point

1/10/2013

I have just come back from Australia where I had my first solo art exhibition.

Here is a link to my art website:-

The pieces in the exhibition are all inspired by movement - of the sea, the body and birds. Beyond this I am looking at whether there is a still point within all this movement and flux, something that remains the same, and if so how to access it. I think in the actual act of drawing, often the still point is glimpsed for me. The point where I seem to step outside of the normal constrictions of time and hours can flash past, as it is for many things that anyone is wholly involved in - dancing, music or yoga. The single pointedness of mind that seems to come from really engaging in something - is this the still point?

Kristina first began practising yoga while studying art, philosophy and contemporary practices at Dundee University. Her personal practise of yoga was transformative, leading to a lifelong interest in yoga and travels around India to immerse herself in the practise. After graduating Kristina went on to study the Foundation course and then the 500h teacher training with Yoga Scotland. Kristina has now been teaching yoga for over 15 years and has since specialised in yoga for women's wellbeing including pregnancy and postnatal yoga with a trauma informed awareness. Alongside teaching yoga, Kristina is also a massage and myofascial release therapist as well as a practising artist.
In her spare time Kristina enjoys wild swimming and surfing in the sea along the East Lothian coast and sometimes beyond.
