When I stumbled upon this little gem (via Art Hound), I knew I needed to share it here. Visual Mantras is a limited edition artist book by london-based, Spanish artist Ana Montiel. It's focus is that of repetitive (and superbly designed) patterns and cycles, things that both inspire and convey the "eternal rythm of our existence". Ana lists yoga as one of her many influences (no surprise there) and I think this book and much of her other work pretty much sums up what I'd like to use this space for a little more...a place where yoga, design and style meet. But more than that, I love this book because it conveys the art of yogic thinking and meditation in a visual way and, to me, it just doesn't get any better than that...
Here's an exquisite (and short) video peek into Visual Mantras:

Ahhh, I love the beauty of yoga and yoga of beauty. Breathe deeply, smile and enjoy!
